#1A: Good Is Not The Same As [Cheyenne Harvey-Stoltz]

Below are the four images I chose: 

"Good" is not the same as "Important": The photo selected depicts an opium field, opium farmers, and solar panels in Afganistan. In recent times and times before, there has been lots of discussion and attempts to reduce the opium trade out of Afganistan. I feel as though this is important in regards to the War On Drugs that the world has been juggling for decades. The trade of synthetics, heroine, cocaine, as well as other illicit drugs have been in the forefront of many international governments to take down narcotics trafficking as a whole. At the moment, Afganistan seems to be in the spotlight.

"Good" is not the same as "Interesting": This is a portrait style photograph taken of Abraham Lincoln's late wife, Mary Todd Lincoln after Lincoln was assassinated. In the photo you can see the outline of an individual behind Mary, believed to be the ghost of President Lincoln. This photo was taken by a photographer who had made a career taking photographs, such as this one, where the ghost of the subjects loved ones would be present. During this time, being the late 19th century, there was no way to know whether or not these photos were really depicting sprits; therefore, when the photographer was taken to court on charges of fraudulence, there was no way to prove the illegitimacy in a court of law and the photographer was acquitted. However, there has been conversation and investigation into this style of photography and how it could have been curated among modern photographers where theories have been shown.

"Good" is not the same as "Useful": Dental evidence is used in a number of ways in the field of criminology. It has been used in cases to show connections and disconnections of suspects to crimes. In this photo, the bite marks found on a victim and the dental imprints of infamous serial killer Ted Bundy are displayed. This evidence was used in the trials to put Ted Bundy away for the murder of multiple women, including Lisa Levy, the woman who's body was found with the bite marks. This evidence was important and very helpful to the prosecution in regards to putting Bundy behind bars. However, this form of evidence has shown to be problematic and lacking scientific basis in recent times.

"Good" is not the same as "Liking": I took this photo in my high school photography class. I really like this picture because of how distinct the silhouette is and how dreamy the sky looks. The colors are somewhat natural but dramatic. This photo is just quite pretty to me :).
