                                                                           The Story   

The students are focused on the conductor and the conductor is telling the class what note to play. I think the story is that the class has a show coming up and they have to practice. The conductor is going over the music for the show so they can show how good they are.

Action and Emotion

The older kid is picking up the little kid to tell her something. You can tell by his face he really cares about helping that kid out. There is so much emotion in this photo, it is very powerful.

Filling the frame

The kids are looking down and it makes the photo very interesting. The bridge,kids,and the white helmets fill the in the photo. I makes me what to know what they are looking down at. 

Show and Tell

The baby floating on the water really interested me in this photo. The parent right next to the baby just in case the baby goes under the water is a relief. This photo is really shocking because i have never seen a baby float on the water like this.

The framing of the girl's face is very powerful. The content is a girl's face and a violin covering half of the girl's face. The lighting is dark on the outside and it gets brighter towards the center. The composition of this photo is line because the violin leads your eyes to the subject. The exposure of this photo has low-intensity light.

Great Black and White Photographers part 3

1) What first caught my eye while looking at my photographers photos was the reflection of the peoples faces in the windows.

2) I see reflections of peoples faces in the glass windows. People are looking at the window from outside and people are in the building looking out the window.There faces are blended with the background of their surrounds.

I smell the smoggy smoke from the ford car. I smell the dirt in the air from the horse drawn carriages. I smell the cold air from a gust of wind.

I hear the ford cars zoom by and the horses hooves click the ground each step they take. I hear the crowds of people talking as they walk by. I hear the birds in the trees around me squawking.

I taste the cold air because its fall and its cold outside. I taste the dirt that's stirred up from the horse drawn carriages. I taste the foul smell that is from the homeless people that pass by.

I feel the people looking at me as I look at the window. I feel the cold air on my face. I feel the people push by me as they walk by me.
3) I would like to create a calouge to show the world my great photographer.

1) What first caught my eye while looking at my photographers photos was the big lady standing by her fruit.

2) I see the boy standing the in his door way leaning  against the door. I see the fruit in the baskets one on the chair and three on the ground. I see the big lady and she seems happy to have her hard work done.

I smell the sweet fruit that is piled in the baskets. I smell the smoke from the kid smoking a cigarette. I smell the sweat from the hard days picking of fruit.

I hear the people asking the lady how much the fruit cost. I hear the boys stomach growl from not having enough food to eat. I hear people walking by as I take the photo.

I taste the sweet fruit that the lady has just picked. I taste smoke from the cigarette that the kid is smoking. I taste the wind as it blows past me.

I feel the cold wind on my hands and face. I feel the accomplishment of the hard work being done. I feel the fruit that the lady just picked.

3) I would like to create a calouge to show the world my great photographer and tell about his life.
