In this picture political activist Malcom X, professional boxer Muhammad Ali, Cubas political leader Fidel Castro and two others pose with Che Guevara's lifeless body. Shortly after Muhammad Ali was stripped of his boxing title for refusing induction to the army, Fidel Castro granted X and Ali access to show respect to fellow activist Che Guevara.


I chose to add Fidel Castro to the photo because Che was apart Fidel's Army. Although Malcolm X died two years prior to this picture being taken Fidel had met with Malcolm X in Harlem in the 60's to discuss political issues. Both X and Guevara being activists linked to Castro, they seemed suitable for the photo. Muhammad Ali was friends with Malcom X and was a political activist himself. 1967 was a huge year for Ali protesting the government. By Ali being stripped of his title in 1967 ( around the time the original Che Guevara photo was taken) I felt that signified Ali's death in a way. Ali was no longer allowed to box, and stripped of his titles, I viewed that as the death of the world champion. Those things along with his connection with X, I thought that Ali fit in with the photo.

Viva La Axis Powers

The Mexican Exportation of 1938 took a slight turn for the better, depending on whose side you were on. With an embargo placed against Mexican oil by the foreign-owned oil companies, Mexican oil exports decreased by 50% and the Mexican Government’s primary customer for oil became Nazi Germany. The U.S. could not afford it's neighbor to fall into the dark side of the Axis Powers. Unfortunately, U.S. President FDR was unaware that Mexican President Lazaro Cardenas (left) knew that the United States would eventually become a major importer of oil and the rights of U.S.'s economic interests were involved, so Mexico joined the Axis Powers. It's 1941 and Pearl Harbor never happened. Instead German, Japanese, Mexican and later Italian troops swarmed the Mexican border and slowly engulfed an unprepared United States. The U.S. had fallen to the Axis Powers. It's now February 4th 1945 and most of Europe has been taken over by The Axis Powers. The Location is the newly seized Yalta, Russia. Mexican President Lazaro Cardenas, Japan's Prime Minister Koiso Kuniaki (standing), the King of Italy Victor Emmanuel III (right) and the master mind behind it all, Germany's own Adolf Hitler (center) discuss the success behind this new world order and how their new reign will affect the world.

The Yalta Conference took place in a Russian resort town in the Crimea from February 4–11, 1945, during World War Two. At Yalta, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin made important decisions regarding the future progress of the war their joint occupation of Germany and plans for postwar Europe.

At Yalta, Roosevelt and Churchill discussed with Stalin the conditions under which the Soviet Union would enter the war against Japan and all three agreed that, in exchange for potentially crucial Soviet participation in the Pacific theater, the Soviets would be granted a sphere of influence in Manchuria following Japan’s surrender. The Allied leaders also discussed the future of Germany, Eastern Europe and the United Nations.

In the picture above, I decided to add the Japanese Emperor Hirohito, Hitler, and Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini. These leaders of the Axis Powers along with biggest opponents of the Allied Powers coming together would have altered history. With the intention to discuss plans for a peace agreement among their countries, this meeting might have prevented further conflicts in Germany and Eastern Europe.

You and me against the world!

It was a special occasion. On May 3rd, Hitler arrived in Rome accompanied by his best man Joseph Goebells as well as some five hundred party officials. Rome was adorned with decorations, including swastikas everywhere on the streets.The alliance of Germany and Italy grew stronger with the wedding of Hitler and Mussolini. Here we see an exclusive picture of Hitler and Mussolini on the way to the wedding reception at Quirinal Palace. In the back there is a protester with a sign that says “ Marriage equals man and  women”. This was a period of history where anti-semitism and homophobia was at an all time high, but Hitler and Mussolini did not care. It was the two of them against the world!

che guevara execution

⧫⧫⧫⧫⧫⧫⧫⧫⧫

The original picture was execution of Che Guevara.

I searched the story about the execution and there was very interesting behind story.

On this day in 1967, socialist revolutionary and guerilla leader Che Guevara, age 39, is killed by the Bolivian army.

Guevara was then taken to a schoolhouse in La Higuera and held overnight. The following day, he was executed by Sgt. Jaime Teran, though details of the execution differ.

In varying accounts, Teran is portrayed as a willing executioner or as the loser of a drawing of straws who reluctantly carried out the execution. According to the U.S. Department of Defense report, Che refused to be seated for the execution, telling Teran, “I will remain standing for this … Know this now, you are killing a man.”

Teran saw his face and he said he saw Che's shiny eyes and it made him hesitate to shoot a gun.

He described Che looks so confident and mighty.

So I decided to make the Bolivian army had fascinated by Che.

Also Guevara’s photo in a beret which was taken by Alberto Korda became an iconic image and got printed on posters and T-shirts for countless of times. Although many celebrated his contribution to human history, not everyone was convinced.

This ideas made me to change executor's clothes.

So they are wearing Che guevara printing t shirts. 

They couldn't even kill him and they changed their mind after they met him.

They became fan of Che.

KENNEDY LIVES

This is a picture of President John F. Kennedy's Motorcade leaving Dallas Love Field in Dallas Texas on November 22, nineteen sixty-three. President Kennedy is in Texas mediating tense conflicts between the local politicians. His wife; Jackie Kennedy is resting at the Kennedy compound in Cape Cod Massachusetts after giving birth to their third child Patrick Bouvier Kennedy. J.F.K. is accompanied by Texas Governor John Connolly, they are expected to arrive at the Dallas Trade Mart after a 45 minutes drive through the city. At approximately 12:30 pm the Presidential Motorcade entered Dealey Plaza. Shots were fired from the Dallas School Book Depository, most witnesses say they heard three shots. The first shot pierced the back of Governor Connolly's neck, went through his throat then struck President Kennedy in the back. A second bullet struck the Governor on the right side of his head, ending his life instantly. President Kennedy survived his wound and promptly returned to his office, he would go on the win his second term in 1965, and in 1966 he declared November 22nd John Connolly Day in honor of Governor Connelly. He would later credit this experience for inspiring him to mend relations with the Soviet Union, ending the Cold War in 1968 before leaving the office as President.

The original picture was taken from a civil rights protest against the movie "Gone With The Wind" in 1942. I found the original to be very reminiscent of what is happening in this day and age where people from all around the world are in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter Movement. I wanted to manipulate this picture so that it would bring the viewer into another reality where the moment captured might have been altered. Therefore, I added an armed soldier who has his gun aimed at one of the protesters, ready to fire and I changed the signs so that it was relatable to 2016. In conclusion, I wanted to bring the reality we are currently living into this picture by depicting the social injustices and police brutality we face today.

Here we have the epic picture of Franklin D. Roosevelt making peace with Hitler. completely avoiding the start of WWII. we even catch Doves flying n the picture, how much more peaceful can it get. If this picture had Mousilini in it, we could have had WWII and humans aren't dumb enough to go to a second world war. good thing this picture is 100% authentic. 

Hitler's Kiss

     In this photo, I chose to replace Erich Honecker with Adolf Hitler because I thought it would be thought provoking to imagine an alliance between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Hitler is known for his ideas of conquering and taking over, so it is interesting to imagine if he chose to develop allied relationships with other countries instead. Although Hitler had been dead for many years before this photo was taken, it is still fascinating to think of what could have been.
     However, you can also notice in my photo that Hitler has his eyes open and is staring straight ahead. This could symbolize who Hitler was as a person and how he does not really plan on committing to the alliance at all, while Brezhnev is vulnerable, as his eyes are still closed.

KENYON BOWMAN......................YOUNG LORDS

The Young Lords began in 1960 as a Latin American Gang in the Chicago neigborhood
When the Young Lords realized that urban renewal was evicting their families from their barrios
and witnessed police abuses,some became involved in street riots protest and demonstration.
In  my work above i change the faces to show how life goes on,in many different ways.

Kishawn Jack Che Guevara Final

My original picture was a picture of Che Guevara being executed by the Bolivian Army. I decided to go back in time and change the history a little bit. I decided to have Che Guevara and some of the men he was formally seen with , Killing the captain of the Bolivian Army. This causes a huge plot twist because around the time before Guevara was about to face death his people like castro was starting to call him a trader, so if he would have took down the Bolivian Army things in Cuba wold have been completely different .

Jeremy Lyon, Self Portrait

This is old, i thought i uploaded it but i did not. I just found it.

  




                       One Week after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo;  officially entitled the Treaty of Peace, Friendship, Limits,  and Settlement between the United States of America and the Mexican Republic, was signed, gold was found on California land.  Once a property of Mexico, and now an  American state.  Here we see a group of Mexican mercenaries, employed by president James K. Polk, guarding a U.S. owned, mine in California .  

Emilio Campa (final)

The Yalta Conference was held on February 4, 1945 to February 11, 1945. It was the heads of government of the Soviet Union, United States, and United Kingdom represented by Joseph Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill. The goal was to make peace and self determination as they discussed the re-establishment. of the nations of war-torn Europe. 

There was three meetings referred to as the "Big Three." The one before the Yalta was "The Tehran Conference" which featured the three shown above again. After the Yalta Conference it was the Postdam Conference. The Postdam Conference featured Joseph Stallin, Winston Churchill, and Harry S. Truman. Midway through, Clement Attlee replaced Churchill. 

In the picture above, I added Clement Attlee and Harry S. Truman as more of a foreshadow for the Postdam Conference. The Swatsika in the back is to represent the time period. 

The Kiss

In 1979, the kiss between Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honecker had become famous over the past years but not many know the true story that happen after they had exchange lips. Jimmy Carter the president of the United States was also there. He had came to meet Leonid Brezhnev to negotiate a treaty with him. At the end of the meeting, Jimmy Carter and Leonid Brezhnev signed the landmark Salt II treaty which also required Crater to kiss Leonid Brezhnev to close the deal. This was also part of Brezhnev formality between political leaders. Jimmy Carter didn't hesitate but plunge in for the kiss which to everyone surprise they both enjoyed it. On the other hand, Erich Honecker watching from the crowd was not too happy to see Leonid Brezhnev kissing the president. I think he just wanted Brezhnev all to himself. The president on the other hand quoted,  "As a politician, rubbish.. but what a good kisser. Don't tell my wife about this." This event was then erase from history and only today people know the kiss as a socialist fraternal kiss between Erich Honecker and Leonid Brezhnev.  As for Jimmy Carter's secret, his wife will never know.

Moon Landing - Erick Arce

The first time a human landed on the moon (Apollo 11) was and still is a widely discussed and very controversial time in both American history and world history. Apollo 11 took place in 1969, 8 years after President John F. Kennedy launched the mission to get a man on the moon. The astronauts that were a part of this mission were Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins. They blasted off on July 16th 1969 and arrived on the moon four days later on July 20th. They were said to have picked up moon dirt and rocks and left an American flag on the moon. The reason this is highly controversial is because many people believe this was a staged act and was recorded to look like they were on the moon. The reason America would do this is because it was in a "Space Race" with the Soviet Union to see which would be the first country to get a person on the moon.

In my depiction of the moon landing, I wanted to make it seem like it was a staged act. The "astronaut" is hanging from the steel structure in order to make it look like he was floating in space. I added a hanging light source to act as the "sun", also a green screen in the back to make it look they would use computer graphics to add different things in the background when they edit the footage. Ultimately, I wanted it to seem like it was a movie set, that is why I added a camera man and also a boom operator.
