9/11

Simplicity. This photo is very simple, but still tells exactly what happened. It includes the three men helping each other, but also the surroundings add to the simplicity. There arent people running and screaming, but it shows what everything must have looked like around them.

The Rule Of Thirds.

Im not sure why I picked this picture for thirds. If you split it three ways, you probably wont get much of a picture. I guess this was my mistake!

Lines.

I like how this picture shows lines. The man in the picture isnt falling horizontally, he's falling vertically. I think the lines in this picture lead to him nicely.

Balance.

This photo shows the equal balance between the two towers. Even though they are both exploding, they are still congruent to each other.

Framing.

I think this is almost a perfect picture. The flag is slanted, showing the act of raising it. If you put a frame around it, i can garuntee it will be hanging in some patriots home.

Discussion.

This picture discusses the pain felt because of 9/11. It symbolizes how every one must have felt about the whole situation. And because this is obviously a grown man crying, it sends the message that its okay to cry.

Words.

These 4 words are important to me:

Motivation: the drive that moves you to take action; fuel to your fire;
Devotion: to be attatched to; extremely dedicated;
Humor: amusing; to have a sense of; to be optimistic;
Insane: mentally deranged; to act outrageously; no sound of mind;

Aperture: an opening, like a hole or a gap;
Shutter: a movable cover or slide that shuts;
Exposure: revealing something that has been kept a secret; to be exposed, shown;
Depth of Field: range of distances along the axis of the camera;
F-stop: setting an adjustable lens aperture indicated by an f number;
Focal Length: distance from the focal point to the lens;

-[Pinhole Pictures).

I really like this picture. Its very unique. The way the trees bend make it look creepy, but still cool. The black and white makes it more dramatic and mysterious. It almost looks like its in motion. I also like how the outter part of the picture is slightyl blurred and the middle focus is sharper.

*********************************************************

This picture is kind of confusing. I dont like it because i cant really tell what its supposed to be. It looks like a building, but I cant tell. Nothings really warped and its very sharp. Maybe this is the way the photographer wanted it too look like...

Pictures I Took!

I like this photo because its a side veiw. Mariah is the main focus of the picture even though she isn't looking directly at the camera.


I don't really like this picture because she's caught off gaurd, but her eyes are closed.
