Thanksgiving

Baraka

I thought this film was educational about society, religion, human life (poverty/civilized) as well animals I thought this film was very environmental, showing many elements of nature. The movie, though it doesn't have any words, shows us life through pictures. It showed viewers that many people around the world have different views and aspects on life; not any of them being wrong.

I liked how in the beginning of the movie, it shows viewers morning elements; as in landscapes (waterfalls, lakes, people praying). I also liked seeing the group of men at some sort of dance/ritual. It proves that people have different ways of expressing their faith. Not everyone goes to a church to pray or say the rosary, but can do dances or sing songs.

One scene that really hit me was the scene of new york. While watching the movie, I saw that everything was moving in fast pace. I thought it was funny because in actuality, Americans move at a fast pace all the time and don't take the time to actually appreciate what they have.

Overall, the film made me realize that many people around the world have a variety of ways to do things that are different from me. Different doesn't necessarily mean weird or wrong, and I am glad I got the chance to watch this movie.

Dear Abby Response..Itzel

Dear Itzel,

Thank you for your honest opinion and kind words.  Family is very important to me.  I also like to take portrait shots during special occasions, but now I know to take more scenery shots and to take pictures of other object.  The building picture was one fo my favorites as well.  When my next big family event comes, I will know to take pictures of a variety of things.

Sincerely,
Veronica Smart

Dear Lizzy,

Awesome photos! I really enjoyed looking through your concert pictures.  I like how you used the lighting in various ways, and forming in various ways too.  I now know that you really enjoy going to concerts and listening to music.

SELF PORTRAIT

how I act with my friends... :)

Group Photo

My group had to go to Russell Hall.  It was hard to get shots because we had to use the teachers enterance.

Photo Essay

My topic for the Photo Presentation was volleyball.  Though I love the sport, taking pictures was very difficult due to my sprained ankle.  I enjoyed this assignment and overall I would love to do it again.

Career FOOD!

One thing I liked about learning about food was taking pictures from the forks point of view.  I thought that was very interesting.  I also learned that you should have pictures of food in a food setting; when it is near the kitchen or the dining room

                                                               

Photojournalism

Ansel Adams:
I chose him because I like the way he takes landscape pictures.  When I look at one of his shots, I feel like I am really there.  Adam takes pictures of Yosemite National Park and is known for his scientific photography. 

Baaron Wolman:
Wolman took many pictures during the Rock-N' Roll Era.  I enjoy looking through his photos because I can feel the intensity or the calmness of the singers.  His shots really bring out the performers personalities.

Dorthea Lange:
Lange took one of the most famous pictures of all time during The Great Depression.  Her pictures bring out the stress and sorrow people were feeling at that time.  In my eyes, her shots are realistic.  She captures the moment of the Great Depression very well.

Robert Doisneau:
He took many picutres in France and they were very "playful" pictures.  I enjoy looking at the shots of the little kids because they show their true personalities.  It's like they ignore the camera completley and act as though no one is around.  Doisneau really takes good pictures of youth.

Steve McCurry:
Like Lange, Steve McCurry takes really good pictures of peoples emotions.  In the picture I chose, the Afghan Girl, you could really feel the intensity in her eyes and the pain she is feeling.  I can really sense the stress she has in this one shot.
