National Geographic

1. This is my favorite photo because I love how it shows so much geographic features from the mountains all the way to the ice in the water.  I feel like it looks so amazing, and i love how it shows how cold it looks by just looking at it. I also love how the ice looks in the water it looks like when bubble came to the top and then just froze.

2.  I would submit a photo to National Geographic of Buddhist in Bali, it would look very worldly. And traditional, with all of the monks together meditating. I would submit that to National Geographic.

Academic Shoot Preview - Part 2

1.  I picked the photo with the girl dropping red liquids onto a speaker and the liquid is bouncing back.    I thought that it looked really cool, and especially that it's pink.

2.  This is balance because of speaker makes a square, and the pink liquid kind of makes a triangle.


1.  Outside, most of the photos I see now are people kind of modeling. They are somewhere different than just being inside.

2.  I would like to take photos in Culinary and Art.

3.  I would like to take pictures of people just being themselves, not someone their not just to "look cool." I like originality, it looks nicer and more creative. It would look nice to take pictures of them in the place where they feel more comfortable.

Academic Shoot Preview

The Story:

1.   I felt like this would be the best story because, it shows these teenagers feeding the homeless people. Obviously this is a really good deed, even though they don't have to do it, they do. I just thought that it was really sweet, to do things like this.

Action and Emotion:

2.   I put this as the best action and emotion because, it shows the action being the ice being exploded into the air. And it goes good with emotion because, you really see their expressions of how their experiment explodes. 

Filling The Frame:

3.   I thought that this was very interesting because I really wanted to know why they are holding hands, all guys, and heads down by a pole. It makes me wonder, did something tragic happen for them to do that. Or  honoring the flag maybe, it really makes me wonder.

Photo Manipulation And Ethics

1. 

A.  So this shows when people have taken Photoshop too far. So what happened was that people having been using Adobe Photoshop in ways that are not the truth. Trying to make it something that it's not. What they are trying to say is that its okay to use Photoshop, but don't overdue it. And when you do use it don't use it in a bad way to ruin the original way it was taken to be.

B.  I feel like people shouldn't be using that type of editing because it messes with why the whole point of the picture, and the way it was meant to be. And it should not be used that way. Especially when and if it's a picture that has an importance to it.

2.

A.  I feel like most unethical photo would be this one because this never happened, and since Bill Clinton is an important person, you should not make things up like that. And when you make things up about him talking to a person he never did, at somewhere he never was, is wrong. And I feel like you shouldn't have to make up a story just to have done one, where not a single photographer was in sight.

B.  I feel like this is the least unethical picture because all they did was put Oprah's head on Ann  Margaret's body. All of the other photos have something dramatically happening. But something harmless as changing a little detail isn't something very crazy. Plus it adds a little glam to "Oprah's body." That's nothing compared to the other pictures.

Touching People

1. I think this idea really would be awkward because it challenges people to touch random strangers, obviously not everyone would be up to touching another person. I know that I would not want to touch an other person I don't know.

2. I someone asked me to do this I would definitely by shy about that, but if I were to do it multiple times I know that I would be like " Hey do you wanna take a picture!" But if I was asked to do a photo shoot with another person I guess I would be up for it.

3. Besides this photo shoot if I were to do one, I would ask people if they could kiss someone on the cheek. Because I would definitly want to see who could be up to the challenge to do that, it takes a lot of guts in my opinion. But something that would be difficult to do for random strangers on the street.

4. What I think about this photo shoot is that, I like how they took totally opposite people instead of people who look the same as another. So it looks more diverse. An example like a baby with another baby, thats typical. I would want a baby and a puppy, something different. What I'm trying to say is that I love how they took people who do not look anything alike to one another. I think that the photos came out pretty good, and I liked looking at them.

Top 40 Photos

1.  Photographer : Rich Lam

- The first photo made me want to pick it is because, I thought it looked cute. The boyfriend kissed his girlfriend after she gets knocked down by a police officer. So he picks her right back up with a helping kiss.

- In the picture the photographer hazes out the background and focus's on the couple, so it shows the main point of the picture.

- I feel that it made the Top 40 because it shows a lot of emotion and affection in one little photo. So it has such an impact in it.

2.  Photographer :Yomiuri Shimbun

- The second photo made me want to pick it because, it shows all the military men in the background obviously because something happened. But the man holding the baby makes me think that he saved her from that tragic accident.

- What had standed out in the picture was the baby in the pink blanket, because it focus more on her than the guy. Because she was the one who looks like is being saved and the photographer makes it more about her and the man, so he aims it more at them.

- I feel like this made the Top 40 because it shows how the baby is being held in his arms, and in the background you can tell that something happened. So  since there is mud and items all over the place, so it makes me wonder what had happened.

3.  Photographer : Aaron Thompson

- What made me pick this photo because I know what happens when someone in the armed forces receives a flag. It means that someone in their family passed away, and a young boy is taking it so I would think that his dad is gone.

- What makes this photo stand out it the little boy crying, and trying to hold back his tears. As  he receives a flag.

- I think this made Top 40 because it is such an emotional photo, the boy accepting the flag in honor of his dad passing away.
