1) What was the main Stieglitz's interest? What's Pictorialism and what is Naturalism? Did he stayed devoted to this movements?  What do you see on his photographs?
   -Alfred Stieglitz was always interested in photography as an art form. He was also interested in the technical boundaries of photography.
  - Photographer Alfred Stieglitz subscribed to a theory that the principal subject of a photo should be in sharp focus while secondary elements should be left out of focus. The theory was called “naturalism” because it was thought that these types of photographs most closely resembled the way the human eye naturally sees things, focusing on one area while surrounding details fall away.
  - In his photographs, there is a delicate feeling. It shows the "naturalism". His photograhs we can see the "visual weight", it lets people focus on the main point which is he want people to know. 

2) What was White's impact on photography as a medium? What do you see on his photographs?
 - White's writings emphasized and promoted his ideas as in Mirrors, Messages, and Manifestation. Undoubtedly, Minor White's work in photography altered the medium forever.
 - White's photography are very clourful, and its light and dark line show difference. When I saw his photographs, it not just a simple sense that one might see faces or shapes in them.

3) What do you see on Man Ray's photos? Are they similar or absolutely different than Steiglitz's photos?
  -  They are a little bit different. But  He was disappointed that he was recognized only for his photography in America and not for the film making, painting, sculpture, and other media in which he worked.
 - The similar is their photos both are abstract, but a little bit difference is Steiglitz's photos are used an element of quiet more, and he most like to use the natural things. 

4) What do you see on Moholo-Nagy's photographs?

  - He is an amazing man, and try a lots of things, photographer, filmmaker, typographer, painter, sculptor, writer, graphic designer, stage designer, and teacher. He think that "The reality of our century is technology: the invention, construction and maintenance of machines." So in his photographs, we can see that there are very different than others. He uses his photo to exploring new ideas of creative expression.

5) Are these photographers painters? Do they all paint with their cameras or maybe only some of them? 

 - Yes, of course they are.
