This famous picture of Albert Einstein was taken March 14, 1951. It was taken by photographer Arthur Sasse. It was Einstein's 72nd birthday and he had been smiling for photographers all day. When photographer for the United Press, Arthur Sasse, tried to take his picture, Einstein decided he was sick of smiling so he stuck out his tongue. I wanted to pay homage to this picture for a few reasons. First, it is a widely recognized picture. Secondly, I enjoyed the story behind it. Finally I wanted to recreate it because it shows that even geniuses such as Einstein have a sense of humor. I payed homage to the Einstein picture where he's sticking his tongue out. I took a picture of Tanner, Nick, Joey, Jack, and Colby. I like the way most of the faces have half of them dark. I wasn't telling a story, just recreating a picture. I like the Joestein picture the best because his expression is closest to the original photograph.

I like that you added it in black and white. If you added the car belt it would be stronger. I like that you tried to add the hair.

I like how you used multiple models. I think you should back the camera up to show more neck. My favorite is the one with Joey because it is having fun with this picture.

I really think that the one of Tanner is the most like the original. The fact that he's actually smiling makes it even more so. I think that if you used more than one light source (and yes I know that's hard but just DO IT) it would make the picture seem less scripted. If you placed the light right in front and then had the models turn slightly it would look even more like the original photo (also, AMELIA FOR TREASURER!!)
