Warm-Up (Japanese Earthquake)

 

This photo shows some soldiers carrying out someone and I think that person died. This particular photo make me want to cry, knowing that a tsunami can kill a person it's scary. The photographer balanced the image and used a good viewpoint by getting down low.

This image shows a bit of the destruction mother nature left behind. Hanging off the helicopter are two people being rescued, I would be scared. When I see this image it make me scared for the ones who this tragic incident effected. The photographer used a good viewpoint by being above the main subject and avoided mergers.

This photo expresses the girl's feelings you can tell she is sad and she is devistated at what she sees. This photo makes me feel sad and wonder how the girl is doing? In this photo the photographer used simplicity by making the background a bit blurry. The photographer also cropped the photo.

Touching People

1. What do you think about this project and photo essay?
I think the project is cool, just going around meeting new and different people and seeing their reactions to you touching them.

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?
I would probably be scared, shocked or nervous if they asked me to participate in touching a stranger I would be courious on what it's for, but I think I would want to do the photo shoot because it seems creative and interesting.

3. Think of an unusual photo shoot similar to this one that you think would be fun to go and shoot.
A photo of a midget hugging a giant stranger. :)

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?The love the photography it shows different people, some actually look like they know each other. The photographer did keep in mind some of the rules like Simplicity and Balancing. He took photos of strangers posing nothing different.

Advertising Idea

Would this influence you to buy an AT&T phone? why or why not?

Although they do look interesting none of the photos influenced me to want to buy an AT&T phone, because I'm a person who cares about prices and no where did it say the price for the service or the phone.
