Motivation

Dorothea Lange was born on May 26, 1895 in Hoboken, New Jersey. She grew up in the era of the Great Depression. During the Great Depression she photography unemployed men wandering the streets using a Large Graflex camera. Lange motivations came by from quotes that she live by “Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.” And “Pick a theme and work it to exhaustion... the subject must be something you truly love or truly hate.” Each photo taking has a different feeling towards it.

Lynn Johnson is an American Photographer knows for her works with Sports Illustrated and Life. She received her bachelor degree in photojournalism from Rochester institute of technology. She says “photojournalism is a male community…it’s important for young woman who are coming into the professions to understand that it matters and a issue but you cant allow it to effect on your growth”.  Her motivations come from lifting women up and documenting it. “I want people to understand that even in a village like this.. if the women and children are healthy then the entire village will be healthy.”

Anne Geddes was born September 13 in Australian. Geddes became photographer at the age 25. She assisted a local photographer before starting her own studio from her garage. Geddes main subject of photography was of babies. “The best images are the ones that retain their strength and impact over the years, regardless of the number of times they are viewed.” She put all her efforts to raising awareness of child abuse and neglect.  Geddes does not audition babies for use as models because she believes all babies are beautiful. Instead, she keeps in touch with multiple birth and twin clubs and has thousands of photographs on file that parents have sent her.”

My motivation map consists of Money, Family/Friends, Survival, and Success. I feel as these key points help me live the life that I want and feed off each other. Money is a necessity, money makes the world go around and we need it to support our families. Everybody wants to survive and it’s hard to survive in a world like that. In order to make money and provide for your family you have to be successful in your ventures and family is your support base. My motivation map is similar to the photographer’s because their motivations help them be successful in their journey and my motivation is my path to be successful.
