Favorite:
#11 LIFE (April 30, 1965) The fetus became widely recognized after LIFE published Linnart Nilsson’s photograph of an 18-week-old fetus inside the womb on its April 30, 1965 cover. Swedish photographer Nilsson used an endoscope with an electronic flash to capture both the cover picture and pictures appearing inside the magazine to chronicle the beginning of human life. These pictures are part of Nilsson’s book, A Child is Born, which sold eight million copies in the first four days after publication.
This magazine cover is my favorite because of the meaning behind the picture in all and the life in it. This position and the simplicity of it gives such emphasis to the subject of the picture, the baby. The lighting makes the baby look like its gleaming and holy.

Reading:
I read for twenty minutes and my favorite poem by Langston Hughes is "Still Here".

Photo:
< This is my favorite photo by Parks.

This picture is informal because the man is looking away. The harder lighting and his structured pose give him a sense of an authoritative attitude, very into what he does, and knowledgeable.
