(JPEG) file is a lossy raster file format that compresses an image to make the file smaller. JPEG files are some of the most popular and widely used image formats in the world. Photographers can shoot in JPEG mode, while graphic designers, illustrators, and other creatives can edit their work in them. A RAW file contains all the uncompressed and unprocessed image data captured by the sensors of a digital camera or scanner. They’re also a type of raster file format, but one that maintains lossless quality. RAW files are not images they’re just large files filled with the image data as it was captured. 

Generally, a RAW file will be between two and six times larger than a JPEG file. so therefor RAW files are bigger than jpeg because they contain a much greater amount of image data. A JPEG image is essentially all that data compressed down into a smaller file size that’s easier to share. and yes you can change the raw files. the only way to change it is that you have to Open the photos in RAW format, e.g. in Photoshop. Go to ‘File’ and choose ‘Save As’ and select from the list ‘. jpg’ (it might appear as JPEG).

Stanley Forman was working for the Boston Herald American on July 22, 1975, when he got a call about a fire on Marlborough Street. He raced over in time to see a woman and child on a fifth-floor fire escape. A fireman had set out to help them, and Forman figured he was shooting another routine rescue. “Suddenly the fire escape gave way,” he recalled, and Diana Bryant, 19, and her goddaughter Tiare Jones, 2, were swimming through the air. “I was shooting pictures as they were falling—then I turned away. It dawned on me what was happening, and I didn’t want to see them hit the ground. I can still remember turning around and shaking.” Bryant died from the fall, her body cushioning the blow for her goddaughter, who survived. While the event was no different from the routine tragedies that fill the local news, Forman’s picture of it was. I picked this because its a very strong moment that many people saw and where impacted by this and saddened.

Falling Man, Richard Drew, 2001

The photo, taken by Richard Drew in the moments after the September 11, 2001, attacks, is one man’s distinct escape from the collapsing buildings, a symbol of individuality against the backdrop of faceless skyscrapers. On a day of mass tragedy, Falling Man is one of the only widely seen pictures that shows someone dying.  I chose this picture because it describes what people were thinking of doing and what some did out of fear.

Michael Jordan, Co Rentmeester, 1984. This is one of the most famous silhouettes ever. This picture lead to Nike paying Rentmeester $150 for temporary use of his slides from the life shoot. I chose this image because I like way that the picture was taken. Not only that but I also really like how there is light on the subject with the sun in the background. I feel like the photographer used a fill light or a strong flash to capture the light on the subject or in this case on Michael Jordan.
