Assignment 4: Final Project

                Sal Veder an American Photographer, born in 1926 his accomplishments included working for the Associated Press and receiving the Pulitzer-Prize Award for his stunning presentation of POW’S coming home from the Vietnam War. Veder spanned for many generations mastering the creativity of solid photography. In addition, Veder astonished the audience with the photos of despair and anguish during the depiction of the Vietnam War and justified that the war took innocent lives. It’s ironic that through the years, he envisioned a better understanding of his subjects through the Lens and the global communities stressed their anti-war sentiments to those that listened. Veder Award-Winning Pulitzer Prize Photograph “Burst of Joy” March 17, 1973 exemplified his cunning means of embracing the homecoming soldiers regarding “Prisoners of War” and for that the world remembered.

Burst of Joy

Sal Veder insisted that the issue of casualties and murder be documented in history thereby remembering the human-side of engaging wars. Nevertheless, the Lens was his weapon and the subject matter was his passion {Life}.  Veder work such as San Francisco Ariel 1973 showed an overview of the city such as landmarks and communities. In my opinion, Sal Veder knew the depictions of his photographs would be in high demand as well as the audience would peak the interest of other exhibits within his collection. Furthermore, Veder other works included military personnel’s escaping retaliation from North Vietnamese Soldiers within the compounds of enemy lines. Veder photos showed the realism of imperfection and by capturing his camera at the moment of impact he knew that photojournalism would never be the same.

                Sal Veder Photographic Styles were that of Black and White Still Photos of Astrocytes of Average Americans battling in the Vietnam War not to mention the women and children that suffered during the horrific times during those times transpired a nation. Veder photographs showed the Lens had no intention of showing innocence instead the heartbreaking events that transcended into the battlefield. In my opinion, it seems that wars don’t solve the problem just infuriate more deaths and destruction. For that, Veder enriched the notions that there needed to be change and the Veder Lens reminded the global communities of a last attempt at gratitude.

                Sal Veder approached the medium with an attempt to persuade public opinion on the events that was happening in a world of turmoil. Otherwise, the soldiers would become discouraged and take their own lives knowing that the success would never be achieved. In the art galleries, the audience embarked on the horrors and the pouring of outcry reached those government officials of ending the war and within seven years the war was over. The message was received but the aftermath of the war remained in the hearts and minds of soldiers at home and those left behind that the scars are forever.

Sal Veder social ramifications during the 1970’s was indeed showing photojournalism in a time when innocence became a statistic. Second-Guessing societies movement to push the envelope and instill gratification to the troops that there not alone. Despite the lasting effects of the war their dedication of their countries sacrifice was socially and morally a challenging remembrance. The sentiments lasted long past the end and the beginning of living life as “normal” would indeed take time but the moments were surreal. In my opinion, the sacrifice wouldn’t go unnoticed and the feelings of being accepted back into social realms would come as time passed. Veder depiction showed the public that the damage of gunfire, grenades and dead bodies showed the charisma of photojournalism.

Sal Veder’s colleague Walt Zeboski was a renowned photographer for the Associated Press for over 30 years. Zeboski differed from Veder that he photographed genres related to Presidential Campaigns and Iconic Images of the Era in the 1970’s. Zeboski photographed labor leader Caesar Chavez, Armed Memembers of the Black Panthers and Senator McGovern who lost the election to Richard Nixon in a historical electoral landside in 1972. In addition, Zeboski devoted attention to Issues pertaining to Political Agendas remain a constant cornerstone in American History.  Walt Zeboski was not only a photographer but a photo editor and his techniques instilled in the greatness of his colleagues according to the Associated Press for years to come. On the other hand, Veder photojournalism stemmed from countless times on the battlefield and using his Lens in the scope of combat photography. In my opinion, these two men complimented one another were their firm beliefs to tell the story. And without these attempts American History would’ve been lost without the niche of both photographers.

In closing, the connections between contemporary artists and Sal Veder were that of genuine admiration for the struggle to reach public opinion in the photographic medium pertaining to issues involving social and political aftermath. For example, Anne Wilkes Tucker of the Modern Arts Notes Podcast gives tribute to Associated Press Photographer Sal Veder for his involvement of the photograph “Burst of Joy” March 17, 1973 at Travis Air Force Base, California commending his efforts of exemplified photojournalism. In addition, the co-curator Anne Tucker explained the importance that Sal Veder showed realism in the face of danger and captured a moment in American History that shall forever change social and political barriers of our times. Furthermore, photojournalism reaches the audience and instilling a sense of patronage for the country in which we adorn. In my opinion, the overview enlightened the audience with a raw intake of War Photography and its Aftermath. Sal Veder, never presumed he would be the winner of Pulitzer-Prize but his hardwork and perseverance acknowledged his dedication to photojournalism becoming an American Milestone.

Monday 16:22 PM

In the morning Ms. Sinclair prepares for a morning rush at the House of Perks and she enjoys the fact that customers are intrigue with the different brands the Coffee House has to offer for one the double shot of Espresso. She opens the doors at 6:00 am and the customers are waiting outside the doors including Mr. Sommers.  Mr. Sommers is one of her favorites and he mingles with the other customers as she conducts roll coll. Ms. Sinclair is polite and personable among her employees as well as the customers and that makes her day knowing both have allowed to peak their interest.

In the beginning, the business used to be somewhat slow and she got encouragement from associates and her grandfather Mr. Sinclair. He stated “Believe in yourself and others will Believe in you” and she made a promise to fullfill those words by networking on the web and broadcasting House of Perks to the global realm of things. When tourists come in town they stop by the Coffee House for her specialty Espresso’s with Costa Rica Coffee Beans she sells for her Non-Profit Foundation that she started a year ago.

On this particular day, Mr. Sinclair met Mr. Sommers a regular at the Coffee House and exchange Hello’s and made themselves acquainted with one another. Mr. Sommers recalled a day when the House of Perks was so busy, he thought he needed an apron to work for a few hours but that’s the everyday momentum the spirits bring to the business.

Ms. Sinclair was very well-mannered and she stood about 5’8 and weighed 155. At times some of her customers would flirt with her and she subdues her emotions and start speaking on the weather or politics to change the subject not on purpose but to keep conversations professional and open-minded. One of her employees was born in Brazil and move to the states around the age of 10, by the way his name is Carlos DeMarco and he’s funny and loves to entertain by speaking in different accent Sasha added.

Sasha was busy in the back doing reports, when Carlos knocked on the door. Ms. Sinclair stated “what’s up” you’re needed in the front the line is getting busy and smile Carlos added before I give you a kiss or something. She laughed and told him to get his behind to the counter and he whisked there in enough time keeping a straight face considering she knew the opposite of him in relationships and dating.

Upon reaching the counter Mrs. Beasley was in line and she smiled at Sasha and she waved back. How may I help you sir? I would like a cappuccino with two creams and two sugars would that be all she added. That’s it.

He mentioned it’s like drinking an energy drink but stronger and he paid her the $3.75 and sat at one of the chairs in the Coffee House and drunk his Espresso extra dark. After the transaction she politely handed him the receipt and replied “Thank you” and “your welcome” Ms. Sinclair. She thought how did he know my name it was the first time meeting him but she knew that next time would be more personable because she remembers faces. The next customer in line stated “Double Espresso” with slice of lemon and 3 sugars please, No problem anything else with this order “No thank you” she swiped her credit card and the receipts printed and she stated Thank you Ms. Lawson and she stated I really love your Coffee House.
