#3 Ask Somebody (Field Analysis Blog, Bundle 3)

    For my Ask Somebody entry, I asked my girlfriends, mom's boyfriend Stefan, who works for the Associated Press (this is who I was originally going to do my project on). I asked him if had ever met Skip Bolen and what he thought of his work. Stefan told me that he had never met Skip Bolen personally but knew of him through being in the business of photography. He said that Skip was just as a popular photographer as an Associated Press photographer because Skip takes pictures for Getty Images and Wireimage, which are also popular photo sites. Stefan also told me that he had never met Skip  personally because they take pictures of completely different things. Stefan takes pictures of sporting events and political events whereas Skip is notorious for taking pictures of musicians and the culture of New Orleans. Stefan also told he he really appreciated Skips work, he told me it was very unique and different for a photographer. Especially his pictures on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the rebuilding of New Orleans. That is all the information and opinion I got out of Stefan and he is the only person that I talked to because he is the only person somewhat close to me that knows anything about photography.
