AEI: First Post. 1st Assignment thoughts

This year's focus is more on photography than anything else. That and photo-manipulation. So its week 2 now and I'm wondering what I'm gonna do for the 1st assignment: the essay. Our essay is about photography and the people who influenced the medium.

Photography is my hobby, so I want to do it justice. I just don't know what style or who I should write about. Andy Warhol maybe? Or the artistic polaroid style? What about Light photography, which I love to do. Maybe go back to the golden age of photojournalism. So many choices.
