Portfolio Analysis
1. Melissa Golden
a) She had a diverse subject, but it was journalism, I think.
b) In one of the pictures the focal point was blurry. Too much going on in a couple of the pictures. They mostly just sighed a lot.
c) The judges liked the portrait of the old man, they also liked the picture of the boy sliding into third base.
d) I didn't really like this photographer at all, the pictures were over edited in my opinion.
2. Dustin Snipes
a) His pictures were centered around sports but also featured some other things.
b) They didn't particularly hate any of his pictures, they did mention how one of his pictures was a little too over edited. One of the swimming pictures was too chaotic. The picture of the boys laying in shoes was not a favorite.
c) They really liked the picture of those girls sitting on the bench during the game because it had so much emotion.
d) I guess this one was the best, but I actually hated all of them. I don't really like this type of photography.
3. Alyssa Schukar
a) This girls pictures were kind of like a documentary type.
b) They actually really hated this girls pictures, they didn't really have anything good to say. They complained about her pictures being distant. They did not like the bulimia story because it was too depressing.
c) They liked that one picture of the guy sweeping, but honestly that was it.
The judges kind of just reminded themselves and each other of their favorite and least favorite pictures. They brought up a lot of factors before deciding that Dustin Snipes was the best.
Second Video
I also liked the picture of the 2 people standing on escalators. The composition was really nice.

Architecture Preview 2
I think that this building meets all of the requirements because it is so interesting and has a lot of weird things in it, about it. Its such a strange shape so it's able to create all of those requirements.
Sensory Overload
1. The last sentence of the story says
"I believe that more and more, we are defining our environments not as the spaces themselves, in terms of the buildings or architecture, but rather by the objects and devices that we buy and surround ourselves with. ... I would like that message to carry through universally," Seymour said.
What do you think about this statement?
I think that this statement is very true. He brings up a very good point that I don't think many people think about.
Do you agree or disagree?
I think I agree.
As an aspiring photographer how does this make you feel about your photography?
I think that this makes you take into account all of the details in the picture. I still think that the actual environment matters A LOT.
2. When you looked through the images, did you want to visit this place and take your camera?
I don't really like the look of this place. I think that there was too much to look at. It kind of hurt my eyes.
3. What do you think it would be like to be the child of someone who worked at this place?
As a child I feel like this would look like some type of dreamworld.
4. Describe your favorite photo to me.
My favorite photo is the one with all of the flowers. I like the way flowers look, I think I liked it the most because it wasn't neon plastic like the rest of them.
