This photo of Guy Fieri's mother, Girl Fieri, was taken at a sports bar in East Philly. Guy had asked his mother to attend to try his new Totally Tubular Turkey legs, and she got a little too exited with the hair dye in support of her son. Guy and Girl Fieri took the first bite of turkey together and simultaneously looked into each others eyes while whispering "We're riding the bus to flavortown."

Edna is a patient at Jacksonville mental hospital, but this photo is taken at a military base,  two blocks from the hospital. Edna was admitted into the hospital for Vietnam war flashbacks. Edna did not partake in the Vietnam war in anyway, she hadn't even known about it until she moved to America years after the war ended. Her diagnosis is still undetermined. 

Norma and Gertrude are best friends who, even after 78 years, enjoy partaking in the 5 finger discount. Today's heist included two minx coats and matching scooters. Norma and Gertrude met because both of their husbands worked for the same accounting firm, and this is when their monthly heists began. They aren't struggling financially or anything, Gertrude just lives off the thrill. 

Great Black and White Photographers Part III

1.  Levitt mostly photographs children who lived in less than stellar areas playing in the streets. This caught my eye because she really captured the joy these children felt just by using their imagination playing in the streets of areas that weren't extravagant. She also could capture the confusion portrayed by children who were too young to understand adult life. I chose Levitt's photos because they remind me of easier times when all I ever did was play in the street with my sisters and neighbors. 

2.  I see my friends playing in the street, laughing and running. Some are in a tree, some are running around with ribbon. They are out of breath from all the fun we are having.

I smell the autumn leaves falling from the trees and the brisk, autumn air. I smell the exhaust from a car and the smell of bread baking from the bakery down the street that is walking distance from us.

I hear my friends laughing and yelling while playing various games like tag and hide and seek. I hear our parents yelling at us to come in for supper, but we don't because we're having too much fun. I hear the wind whistling through the tall trees and dead shrubbery.

I taste my sweat trickling down my face into my mouth from running around all day. I taste the residue of the cherry flavored lollipop I had earlier. 

I feel the raggedy bark from the tall tree I grasp onto. I feel the numerous, little hands that tap my arm to signify I am now it during tag. I feel the cool metal of the car against my arm.

3.  I think a powerpoint would be an efficient way to portray the brilliance of Levitt's photographs. She has numerous amazing photos that could be showcased through various powerpoint slides that many people could view.

Mural Project

1.  Here at school, we could do a theme of intellect since this is an institute of education. We could use things like books and inspirational quotes from geniuses to emphasize the theme.

2.  Most people in high school have camera phones so I don't see why it would be necessary to open it up to regular cameras, unless someone wanted a certain effect a camera phone cannot achieve.

3. A mural would be viewed very easily in the cafeteria since many people go in there all throughout lunch and some gym classes.

Academic Shoot Reflection and Critique

1. Getting into unique positions for quality photos was difficult because there were so many people walking around and holding fish and soil. I had to get on top chairs and really into peoples personal space, but I think it worked out.

2. The technical aspect I found most prevalent in this photo shoot was focus. I utilized it in most of my photos to highlight certain things more than others. The camera automatically focused whenever I would slightly hold down on the button right before I actually snapped the photo.

3. I utilized the rule of thirds and lines mostly in this shoot. I think I utilized them correctly and justly.

4. If I could do this again I would try to use more of the other rules like simplicity and balance.

5.  I think the rule of thirds is the easiest to achieve because you just need to focus on one subject and put it in one corner of the square in the photo. 

6. I think balance is the hardest rule to achieve because it is difficult to make a photo look balanced for both sides of the photo.

7. Balance is the hardest rule to understand because it's hard to tell when a photo is actually balanced.  I can look on some photography sites to brief myself on this rule, or  can go practice by shooting more photos.

The photos were visually pleasing because of the vibrant colors present and the interesting angles she shot them in. One thing that was unclear to me is the subject of some of the photos, like the one of the girl with the paper, I thought the subject was the girl but it was the paper and that was unclear. The paper should have been highlighted a little better so the subject was evident.

1. It allows more light sensitivity to the camera which is better at night to make a brighter picture.

2. When there is plenty of light present you should keep the camera at a low ISO to have the highest quality pictures. Sometimes in dim or dark environments its best to use a low ISO if the camera is on a tripod.

3. When there isn't enough light for the camera to quickly capture an image. When shooting indoors without flash. Increase ISO for ultra fast shots.
