Framing

I think that this is "Framing" because the broken down wall is framing the firefighter on the ladder.

Balance

I think that this is "balance" because there are two families balancing each other out.

Lines

In this photo the lines are following the man down the building. Since they are going the same way as the man (vertical) the make the photo feel more dramatic.

Rule Of Thirds

I think that this is rule of thirds because the "real" subject is the Twin Towers and they are in the bottom right of the screen.

Simplicity

I think this photo is the rule of "Simplicity" because there is barely anything going on in the background its simple and nothing is distracting the viewers eyes from the subject.

Great Black and White Photographers.

My First Photos

I liked this photo because it captures the reality of what really happens behind the camera. I feel like if i just asked them to pose it wouldn't be as meaningful. it would be forced and "fake".

This photo reminded me of the beginning of the school year because its the flags on front of the school. which are one of the first things you see when you get to school. I've always had a thing for taking photos of flags and the sky. Don't ask just enjoy the photo.

I like this photo because I believe the sky has meaning.

The way the clouds move. The color of the sky. The Sun. Everything plays in.

this was one of my favorite photos because it was spontaneous. I literally just dropped my pen and i was like "wait... this would make a GREAT photo." Ways I made this photo a good photo? Lighting and positioning the camera perfectly so that my feet wouldn't be in the entire photo.
