All the pictures were of a certain  adequate distance
gettin up close in personal and not feeling the pain
They all have the same theme. their all similar

List two things the judges like-
They like the backgrounds in some.
The picture where the girl fell down..
------------------------------
I Personally didint find it interesting and it didint catch my eye.. I think that the pictures could of been better.
------------------------------
What did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it?
That the photographer was very thoughtful of how to take these pictures. They werent easy shots some were money shots?.. well they couldnt be planned anyway.

What do you see as strengths? Do you see any weaknesses?
A Strength is his ability to catch an unexpected picture at unexpected times like im guessing he always has a camera with him. which is an advantage for him and a weakness would be the quality or the image itself could be better.

3. They Criticized the pictures very well .. every detail and what was good and badd about the picture itself. Eventually choosing the best one in their behalf.

Earthquake In Japan


This Is Rather Sad and it causes me great empathy on whats going on in japan.. This falls in Avoiding Mergers and Lines. it kinda has some depth also..

I like this picture even if its something bad thats happening.. its still a pretty good picture. it makes me feel bad to see the environment in japan its so  badd. This picture falls into the rule of thirds.
I Like this picture and whoever took it was pretty well prepared. It makes me feel unsecure sometimes because we dont know what might happen and how bad things can happen  in an instant.. this is a Create Depth picture.

Touching Strangers

1. What do you think about this project and photo essay?
Well its pretty thoughtful and as some people might think uncomfortable and awkward but its very creative and im guessing its pretty fun. Its also a good way to meet new people with different perspectives.
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?
Well i wouldnt mind participating but i hope its not so  weird or awkward.
3. Think of an unusual photo shoot similar to this one that you think would be fun to go and shoot.
Im not so sure. i guess a pose where they are touching maybe interacting with eachother so i could shoot the picture while they are having fun.
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 he has different people doing different things in different places. Its pretty creative he has a lot of tecniques. He took pictures that fall into lines, balance, rule of thirds, simplicity, avoiding mergers pretty much everything.
