Abstract
This paper explains that Henri Cartier-Bresson and Man Ray made fundamentally different but important contributions to surrealist art. The author points out that Cartier-Bresson's work captured the surreal in the everyday; Man Ray, instead, created the surreal out of the ordinary. The paper relates that Cartier-Bresson captured the minutia in reality and converted them into surrealism, while Man Ray manipulated reality through techniques like solarization to distort reality into surrealism.

Introduction
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Man Ray
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Unlike Man Ray, Cartier-Bresson relied little upon the processes of development in his art. Instead, he remained true to his small 35-mm camera, which he regarded as unobtrusive, and quickly became "an extension of (his) eye". Further, Cartier-Bresson believed that to be effective, photography should be as instantaneous and natural as possible. As a result, Cartier-Bresson worked almost exclusively with natural light in order to capture the essence of his subject."

Photographers Man Ray and Cartier-Bresson, 2004.
This paper describes the influences of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Man Ray, two of the world?s best-known surrealist photographers.

Abstract
The paper relates that Man Ray?s contributions to photography centered on his innovative photographic techniques and his imaginative manipulation to create a surrealistic effect. The author points out that Cartier-Bresson is renowned for his seminal contribution to the ?decisive moment? and his evocative and uncomplicated style. The paper concludes that, while Man Ray clearly saw himself as a surrealist, Cartier-Bresson rejected that title. Ultimately, however, Cartier-Bresson?s approach to the ?decisive moment? overshadows Man Ray?s substantial contributions.
From the Paper
"Cartier-Bresson had a strong respect for the demands of photojournalism and spent a great deal of his life working as a de-facto photojournalist. Among other important events, he photographed a dying Gandhi, and the 1938 Coronation of King George VI in London. Most of his photographs were taken with his simple and unobtrusive 35 mm camera and with only a 50 mm lens. Cartier-Bresson famously forbade printers from cropping his photographs."

Abstract
This paper explains that, after returning from Africa in the early Thirties, Cartier-Bresson was influenced by the vivacity of primitivism and tried to find its counterpart in some of the poor neighborhoods of Europe. The author points out that the artist?s choice of camera, the small-format Leica, allowed Cartier-Bresson the freedom to shoot quickly and with minimal camera resetting time (i.e. advancing film, changing film). The paper relates that the rising presence of magazines and photojournalism in the 1930s generously supported Cartier-Bresson financially and allowed him the economic freedom required for him to travel the world taking pictures.
From the Paper
"The tired, desperate look on the man?s face coupled with the look of shock on the face of the drawing, paint a profound picture of desperation. What seems like merely a ?snapshot? photograph can be deeply analyzed to reveal an insightful comment on the poverty and hopelessness so prevalent during the depression. In an era when most cameras were large, and bulky, it doesn?t seem possible for a photo such as this one to be taken off the cuff and un-posed. But the fact is that Cartier-Bresson?s photos were not posed and the next paragraph will discuss how new camera technology allowed him the freedom to take pictures like this one taken in Spain in 1933."

Abstract
This paper discusses the 2004 film, "Ray," directed by Taylor Hackford. The paper discusses the story of the film and shows how the filmmakers reflected on the time in which Ray Charles lived. It discusses the background of the Civil Rights era and the changes it brought about and shows how this is seen in the film in the changing relationship between the performer and his audience.
From the Paper
"Ray Charles is not depicted as a saint but as a sometimes very difficult man, even without the drug problem that afflicted him for some time. The racism of the 1950s did not stop him from performing as he wished any more than had his blindness. In 1961, he decides that he will no longer play for segregated audiences in the South as he had before, since that was expected of performers at that time and in that part of the country. Because of his stand, though, another instance of racism is seen as his home state of Georgia bans him from performing at all. The film addresses this with a section at the end set in 1979 as the state give the singer an apology for this action, showing just as much that times have changed and that a segregated audiences is no longer possible. The central issue in the film is not racism or even the society of the time, though that background is recreated well for the film. Instead, the film offers "a potent sampling of Charles' demons, faults and addictions to go along with the charm, talent and strength of character" (McCarthy 3)."

Gamma-Ray Bursts, 2006.
This paper defines and analyses gamma-ray bursts.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that about once a day, somewhere in the universe a burst of gamma rays appears as if out of nowhere. It lasts a very short time, no more than a few seconds, and then disappears. The writer points out that during the event, the level of radiation from the gamma-ray bursts is so high that it overwhelms any other gamma rays coming from other cosmic sources. It has also been observed that most gamma-ray bursts have an afterglow in the x-ray, and sometimes even optical, wavelengths ranges. The writer maintains that the research into gamma-ray bursts will continue until their nature is finally understood. The writer concludes that while this research goes on, the accumulated information and the intermediate hypotheses are already helping astronomers and cosmologists to better understand the universe, particularly the time when it was just beginning to form.

From the Paper
"Despite the inconsistent nature of these bursts, some patterns have been identified. One prominent distinction is between long and short bursts, those over 2 seconds and those less than that. Analysis of almost 2,000 gamma-ray bursts recorded by the BATSE device on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory between 1991 and 2000 showed that each falls into one of two groups: the short bursts have closely-spaced high-energy photons; the long bursts' photons appear to have lower energy and are more widely spaced.
"Another pattern that was discovered is related to the degrees of brightening and fading that the bursts exhibit over time in various channels of the measured energy spectra over the life of the burst. This analysis showed that different bursts release their gamma rays at different rates in different energy spectra When plotted, these variations manifested themselves as 5 distinct patterns: flat, crescent (or double-crescent), loop, lobe and island."

Abstract
In a highly competitive world, business strategy is vital to success and, as demonstrated by some individuals, an ordinary business can be converted into a massive chain of outlets on an international scale. An example of this kind of success is Ray Kroc's McDonald's, which developed from a relatively small fast-food company into a fast-food chain with outlets in nearly every corner of the world. The paper discusses the reasons behind this incredible business success story, focusing on the qualities in the man, Ray Kroc, such as vision, authority, and perseverance, which made McDonald's what it is today.
From the Paper
"Two particular accounts that have been remembered about his authoritative attitude include the time that he fired an employee for not wearing properly polished shoes. The second account that is remembered is the time that he nearly fired a manager for not having enough of what he called ?potential? (Kroc & Anderson, 1990). This authoritative attitude is one that can so easily be associated with cruelty and lack of consideration for employees. However, this action demonstrates the standards that Kroc expected to maintain without any exceptions being made."

Ray Kroc: A Biography, 2002.
A discussion of Ray Kroc, the inventor and founder of McDonald's.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
An analysis of Ray Kroc's main acclaimed achievement, the establishment of McDonald's. A study of how he did it and what made him successful. The author explains how he was always a salesman so that when he saw a good business opportunity, he seized the chance to make a good product better and to go the distance with a vision. Not only did Kroc introduce a better fast-food restaurant, he found a better way to run any business through his philosophy of quality, service, cleanliness, and value. Much of his tenacity for success had to do with his vision, but most had to do with his natural salesmanship. The paper concludes that Ray Kroc was a genuine twentieth century innovator and American, second to none in his field, or in nearly any other industry.
From the Paper
"Dining at McDonald?s is a wholesome American experience. Nothing better represents the values and image of America than a hamburger, french-fries, and a chocolate shake under the Golden Arches. And no other innovators ? with the possible exception of Thomas Alva Edison, Henry Ford, and Bill Gates ? in the last one hundred and twenty-five years has a greater impact upon American culture and the global economy than Ray Kroc. He was a visionary and an entrepreneur. Most of all: Ray Kroc was always a salesman: when he saw a good business opportunity, he seized the chance to make a good product better and to go the distance with a vision. But when Ray Kroc opened the first McDonald?s 1955, he wasn?t a restaurateur or self-made businessman. He was a 52-year-old milkshake salesman. But the day Ray Kroc entered a little restaurant operated by two brothers in San Bernardino, California, it not only changed Kroc?s life but it changed the world. Not only did Kroc introduce a better fast-food restaurant, he found a better way to run any business through his philosophy of quality, service, cleanliness, and value. Much of his tenacity for success had to do with his vision, but most had to do with his natural salesmanship; and of salesmanship, Kroc said, ?"The definition of salesmanship is the gentle art of letting the customer have it your way" (Pepin). Ray Kroc is a genuine American success story from humble beginnings to hamburger titan."

Man Ray and Sally Mann, 2006.
A comparison of the twentieth century photographers Man Ray and Sally Mann.
1,102 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Although separated by about seven decades, this paper explains that Man Ray and Sally Mann are both 20th century photographers whose work has been preoccupied with surrealist imagery. It looks at how both artists have gone against the grain of popular styles, defying trends in their individual ways. Both were concerned with romanticism and both strove to capture an altered reality in their work. It concludes that the absurdity of fashion and the disembodied female form held Ray's interest, while for Mann, the absurdity of childhood and parenting occupies her stills.
From the Paper
"Early in his career as an artistic pioneer in a variety of media, Man Ray was a founder of the Dadaist Movement of New York with Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia. [1] However, some of his most interesting work was done during his time as a fashion photographer for the great design houses of Paris. For Ray, the world of fashion was attractive because of its strange metaphors: reality vs. fantasy, and the thin line that holds them apart. Ray's style was couched in his ideas of the unreality of fashion, yet it stood in stark visual contrast to the surrealist aesthetic of the time, which also liked to challenge the "reality" of standard fashion."

Man Ray, 2006.
A look at the artistic career of photographer, Man Ray.

»

Abstract
This paper describes the photography of Man Ray, describing both his spirit of innovation and his enormous talent for the photographic medium. The paper discusses Ray's early career, his interest in photography, his work in New York and Paris, his surrealist and Dadaist works and his influence on the mainstream (and often upper class) dress fashions of the late 1930s.
From the Paper
"Ray's interest in photography grew stronger in the 1920s. He showed a masterful control of camera and dark room skills, but he was most notably an innovator. He helped re-instate the cliche-verre method of making direct photographic reproductions of drawings on glass. He used a variety of methods to produce photographic images without using a camera by "placing translucent objects on sensitized paper, adjusting lights at various angles, moving objects and/or lights above and across the paper, and at times actually immersing objects in the developer during exposure." [Perpetual, p. 27] If photography was machine-art, then Ray's photographs without a camera were even harder to categorize, an unidentifiable realm of artistic mystery. Although not entirely of his own invention, Ray's experimentation with these forms of exposure led to a liberation in the modernist's way of interpreting reality."

Ray Bradbury, 2006.
Examines the past, present and future in the works by author Ray Bradbury.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Despite the popular classification of Ray Bradbury as a science fiction writer, much of his works bring allusions to the past and present. This paper shows that, unlike many futuristic writers, Bradbury exhibits strong social criticism to the present, cautiously looks to the future and adores the past of his childhood. The paper looks to see how this is presented in several of his works such as "The Martian Chronicles", "Fahrenheit 451" and "Something Wicked This Way Comes".
From the Paper
"Bradbury's writings are not a typical science fiction. Although the future and its technology have a well-established place it is not the key element in any of his stories. What one finds in many of his works are imagery and references to his youth. Nostalgia for the innocent time of the past is evident, while depictions of the future are gloomy. In Bradbury's writing there can be found not only a reflection of society at the time, but of all of the memories and lessons he learned from the past, and some of the hopes that he has for the future."

From the Paper
"Ray Bradbury, mostly known for his work in Fahrenheit 451, was actually a much broader producer of works than most of us have thought. Throughout his lifetime he wrote over 500 stories, plays, screenplays, radio, music, comic books, and poems (Wolfe 61). But an argument about his works has been debated ever since he became a prominent writer. Was he in fact one of the first Science Fiction writers of all time?"

Paranoia in Ray Bradbury's Writings, 2003.
This paper focuses on the fears and paranoia that have influenced the writings of Ray Bradbury, the famous author of science fiction.

Abstract
The paper discusses the disorder of paranoia in general and then the specific haunting apparitions and life changing events experienced by Ray Bradbury as a child. The paper suggests that these paranoia impacted greatly on his work and that the evils he witnessed in his youth are reflected throughout his writings and portrayed within his plots, characters, and settings. It also posits that his writing actually provided him with a form of treatment to escape from his fears. The paper uses Bradbury's seminal work, "The Martian Chronicles", to display how the author expresses his fear of technology through the story.
From the Paper
"Ray Bradbury?s paranoia started at a young age. Throughout the first ten years of his life, he was tormented by a variety of fears, nightmares, and frightening fantasies (Moritz 41). He was afraid of the dark and was often haunted at the thought of ghosts, skeletons, and dead men (Chenes 16). It is most likely that Bradbury wrote the way he did because of these childhood fears. He once said, ?you have to know fear and apprehension in some form before you can write about it thoroughly.? Due to this, Bradbury was able to write about the many evil things found in his books exceedingly well."
