architecture preview assignment
patterns: this demonstrates patterns because there is a series of repetition in the ceiling on the walls, on the ground and the stairs.
 |
| light: this picture demonstrates lighting because it looks like it was taken just as the sun was setting. the front of the building as well as the ground, and the clouds look really cool too like if light was seeping through them. |
 |
| detail: this would demonstrate detail because it is a closeup of the corner of the building.! |
 |
| angles and shapes: this demonstrates angles and shapes, because in this photo there are alot of cool shapes it looks as if the building was just composed of just a bunch of cool shapes thrown together. |
 |
| surroundin: this demonstrates surrounding because there is graffiti on the building and it looks a little deserted , the surrounding grass is all patchy with dirt and it looks even more ragged so it seems as if everything fits together to make one abandoned building, |

black and white africa blog
Reaction: I thought this photo shoot was really cool, it showed alot of different types of animals found in africa and it displayed them like if they were people almost like they were saying something to you or showing a kind of emotion.
Zebra: the picture of the two zebras looking back was my favorite because i like zebras a lot they kind of remind me a little of myself i also like the one of the rhino looking in the water, it resembles a mirror
He uses a Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses
he photographs exclusively in Africa, one of his goals being to record a visually poetic last testament to the wild animals and places there before they are gone at the hands of man.
"You wouldn't take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their spirit; you'd move in close.

Elements of news
• Proximity: This has to do with location. If the event is happening close by, it will impact your readers more than if it is happening across town, or across the world, all other considerations being equal. A dance at your school, for instance, is more newsworthy than a dance at another school.
http://austin.ynn.com/content/sxsw/277316/sxsw-chaos-prompts-new-regulations-by-apd
• Prominence: This has to do with how well known the people involved in your story are. If the person or persons are well known to your readers, the story will impact your readers more than a similar story involving people they do not know.
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20479127,00.html
• Timeliness: If something is happening NOW, it has more impact than something that happened yesterday or last week. Often, the most recent development is the feature of the story.
http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/04/05/texas.scotus.inmate/index.html?hpt=T2
• Oddity: If something is unusual, the oddity alone can make it newsworthy, because people want to know why it has happened.
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20479330,00.html
• Consequence: If the impact of an event on your readers is major, they want to know all about it. For instance, they might not care that a particular street is being shut down for repairs, until it is brought to their attention that this will reroute the major portion of the traffic into their residential areas. This will affect them in a significant way, and they will want to know about it.
• Conflict: Readers have an interest in disagreements, arguments, fights and rivalries. If an event has conflict attached to it, many readers will be interested on that basis alone. Stories that involve conflict are those about sports, trials, war, politics and even Congressional debates.http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0411/52596.html
• Human interest: If a situation makes you angry, sad, happy or overjoyed, it contains the news element of human interest. Some stories are newsworthy on this basis alone.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110405/ap_on_sp_co_ne/bkc_ncaa_uconn_celebration

1. What do you think about this project and photo essay?
- i think that it is cool, it is interesting to see how people react to this project. its a cool idea and its also kinda funny the different strangers and how they decided to pose for the picture. 2. What would you do if someone approached you with a camera and asked you to participate in a photo shoot and then asked you to touch a stranger?
if someone approached me and asked me i would probably say yeah, i would wanna know what the purpose was and what they were going to do with the pictures but yeah i would do it.
3. Think of an unusual photo shoot similar to this one that you think would be fun to go and shoot.
i think a photo shoot that would be fun to shoot would be of like animals doing crazy things or wearing funny clothes or doing things that people would do.
4. Finally, tell me what you thought of the photography, did the photographer think about the rules of photography that you know about? What types of photos did he take
Yes i think that photography came out really good, he paid attention to how the people were posing and he got the best shot out of it

magazine NOTES
cover types
1. early magazine covers--No photo hard to reproduce lots of color very simple not a whole lot going on.
2. the poster cover--a big picture, small words and one set of headlines(describes specifically that photo) does not have a bar code. includes a date. one photo, small byline!! has to be a really good picture or else its not very appealing to consumers.
3. pictures to married to type--less words, less color, the text is involved into the photo.not as many entry points.
4. in the forest of words--simple background. lots of words. colorful words different fonts! different sizes all over! could be distracting and sometimes you dont get to see the full photograph.
Stuff that should be on my magazine cover:
Title
maybe words
main subject
barcode
price
dateline( issue)

Write a 50-100 word critique of the portrait on the cover.
- this picture is reallly good i like that it is taken from behind it is not your classic original front facing
portrait it is very classy and elegant this picture portrays the girl in it in a positive way. it has a simple background wich makes the subject stand out i like that its a dark backround, you would think that since the dress is dark then it would blend but it doesnt the photographer did a good job with the lighting,
Mention what is communicated about the people in the portrait and how this is communicated.
what is communicated through the picture is that she is a fashion model, she is very pretty and it is apparent she is posing as someone it makes her look really pretty and classy

Portrait and Self Portrait Tips and Ideas
Use a tripod. Seriously. While it’s possible to get good photos while you’re hanging on to your camera at arms-length, it’s a lot easier if you’ve got the freedom to move around a bit.
A mirror or some other reflective surface offers an even easier way to take a self-portrait. In most cases, the camera will be included in the scene (but this can help make a statement about your enthusiasm for photography). You can use your camera as a prop, and hold it away from your face.
Photographing your shadow is another way to do a self-portrait. Shoot early or late, when the sun is low in the sky.
i really like this picture because its simple black and white but it also shows her happy doing something she likes, also the picture uses a mirror to make it look really cool i like that too
I really like this picture because it is very colorful and gives alot of emotion, i can tell that the subjects are happy and like what they do also which is make cupcakes.
I like this picture because it looks really cool, it has a shadow and the colors really pop it looks cool
i like this picture because its also really cool its not really her but it could be her its like an allusion, her hand blends in with the paper
i like this one because it is different from all the others because on the other ones is like everyone is just smiling and is the same this one is just kind of random
My Plan: take a self portrait of me outside
