American Soldier

A. The most powerful  picture in this article is the picture where he says his goodbyes to his family. It's the most powerful because it's the start of his journey in the army.

B. They tell a story by going in chronological order and shows how he becomes a developed soldier

C. The captions help because they go into detail and tell background information that we can't tell from just the photo.

D. Ian started out as a rookie and throughout his military experience he learned more even when it got tough. He eventually quit and shortly after he got married.

E. In the pictures where Fisher is the main subject the caption is usually in present tense.

F. The captions are usually about 4-5 sentences. The second sentence usually consists of background information we can't tell from just the photo. The first sentence usually consists who, what, where, when, and how.  The third sentence usually consists of a quote from somebody mentioned. Most of the captions do have quotes. Only some of the captions have 4 sentences.

G. If there are good pictures then it could be really easy to tell a story with just pictures and captions.

H. Pictures and captions can only tell so much, therefore you could write a story for extra detail.

Funny Captions












Last night granny finally let me put the NFL symbol on the head. She shouldn't have chosen the Atlanta Falcons over my New England Patriots!












This is what happened yesterday when grandpa heard that my sister,Megan, was going to cook for Thanksgiving. He should have put his name in the hat, but he didn't.














Throwback to when grandpa waited too long to blow out his candles on his 87th birthday! We should have known that he wasn't going to say anything; he's a quiet guy.

Abandoned Theme Parks

1. I would take my camera to the Wizard of Oz Theme park. I would take here because it's (in my opinion) the scariest park, and has the most color
     
2.

3. a) Inside a haunted mansion
    b) abandoned cities
    c) woods at NIGHT
    d) a circus
    e) Hospitals





4.













5. I think that it would be interesting to document and take photos in an abandoned hospital because of all the history behind them. If you could find old newspapers or posters it would be pretty exciting. Not only would an abandoned hospital be exciting but it would also be really creepy and a spin chilling experience.

6. we would need some sleeping bags, a tripod, and a ton of working cameras. If you take photos you have to have the same experience because it brings life and spookyness to the photo.

African Pictures

1.  I saw some really detailed pictures of animals in Africa, and he used really good techniques. In the part of the reading where he said that he had to wait 18 days, that shows some dedicating. He said that he waited that long to just get 4 pictures of the lion. He had to wait for the lion to wake up and eventually he got the photo that he wanted. This photographer is really dedicated and loves to take detailed pictures of the animals in the African safari.

2









3. I picked this picture because it shows that the lion is the king of all animals. I can tell this just by looking at this picture, and of how confident it looks. I also like this picture because it shows that it's a windy day and it fits the lion perfectly.

4. This picture uses the rule of balance. It shows perfect balance because the picture isn't lopsided,and the weather fits this lion perfectly. Everything is perfectly balanced and the lion is the main subject.

5. Nick Brandt wants to use a different lens because telephoto lens are too easy to use because you can just zoom in to your picture. He wants to get up close to the animal because it creates personality to the photo and is in general just a better photo.

6. Nick Brandt loves taking these photos because he said that he wants to be different and in being different he wants to create photos that have personality of animals.

7. He hopes that the poachers that hunt down these animals will just stop, and leave these animals alone. Obviously it isn't going to stop completly but he wants it to dil down a little.

8. "There is something profoundly iconic, mythological even, about the animals of East and southern Africa."

Angelos photos reflection

1.  In the beginning i thought it was just a happy couple and felt good for them. But as i made my way down i suddenly noticed what was going on....she had cancer. Then i started to feel sorry for then man.

2. I think that its a good way of putting things when your in a tight situation like he is.

3. I could shoot photos like this because these kind of photos are very interesting to look at and are a good example of other peoples pain and could make somebody feel sympathy for you.

4.  I would tell him that i feel sympathy for him and that he takes good and emotional photos.

Great B&W photographers 3

1. What first caught my eye while looking at this photographers photos was the setting. His photos take place during war.
2. A) In the first picture i could see all the chaos and explosions of war. All the violence that is going on is so surreal. I can smell gunpowder and bloodshed as the war continues. The smell is almost unbearable as nobody even notices it. I hear the groans of men as they get hit or wounded. The explosions are nearly deafning and deadly. I taste the blood of my fallen colleagues. Their bodies lie dead right next to me.  I feel the stirring wheel turn according to my movements. The touch is so soft and nice.

B) In the second picture i could see the explosions and my gun aiming down sights to opposite site of my teammates. The enemy is getting smaller as i run to take cover. I smell burning bark from the fires created. The smell is overtaking ALL my senses. I hear the ringing in my hears, and captain screaming but i don't know what he is saying.  The steady gunfire is the only thing that is important. I taste dirt as it falls on my face. The blood is overwhelming, too overwhelming that i have no choice but to breathe it in. I feel my hands while everything is numb. My guns smooth and silk edges are the only thing keeping me alive.

3. I would like to create a poster just for this photographer, because i like his ideas with the war setting.

Mural Project Preview

1.  a) One idea we could take some pictures of the school environment.
     b) We could take some photos of the campus and kids around it
     c) Maybe some after school programs, sports, electives,etc.

2.  You will need to think about aperture, shutter speed, and the ISO.

3. I would suggest to put these on a social media site like instagram or something else. You could also think about putting these on another blogging site where a lot of people put their work.
