1. The things that cougth my eye about these photos was the emotion and rawness of them. He did a good job of capturing emotion. I also think the subject in the photos is interesting and it really seems like there is a story to tell about them. The pictures are also taken in foreign countries which makes it more interesting because I've never seen the places they were taken. 2. In the Top photo I can:  feel:  rough sand on my skin hear: loud wind howling see: dry desert terrain and cloudy sky smell: earthy materials like dirt taste: grimy dust     In the bottom photo I can: feel: the shade of the house protecting the people from the harsh African sun hear: cries of the baby see: a woman and her child in Ethiopia smell: Ethiopian food cooking in the background for the woman and her family taste: water from the well in the village to keep me hydrated 3. A way I would share this is a "book". My book would be artistic and allow me...

1. If I had to go to one of these theme parks I would choose to go to Land of Oz in North Carolina. I would choose this because it seems extremely creepy and the theme is Wizard of Oz. it looks mysterious and I think that mystery would be a cool touch to add to the photos. I think it could provide many good photo opportunities. I would take a picture of the yellow brick road which looks abandoned, creepy, and mysterious. 2.  3. Five other unusual places to take photos are:      - other abandoned places such as subways, houses, hospitals, schools, etc.      - industrial places     - train tracks     - odd architecture     - old buildings 4.  Abandoned subway tunnel in Ukraine 5. I would like to take photos here because it has touches of mystery and creepiness and the tunnel is interesting to look at. I also think it would just be fun to explore. As I explored I would document my findings ...

1. My first reaction to what I read and saw was sadness. I think the photographer did a really good job of capturing the emotion of the picture by emphasizing the animals. I think that the topic of animal habitat loss and endangerment is a really significant topic because it will affect us, other living things and beautiful landscapes. It's really cool that a Nick Brandt went out and captured the sad, important topic and creating amazing photos out of it to spread awareness. He also wanted to capture the animals living their life and emphasize the beauty of them. He wanted to capture their spirits. 2. 3. This was my favorite picture by Nick Brandt because I think it captured the sadness of animals losing their habitats to humans. The innocent giraffe is unproblematic while the humans are destroying its habitat. it also showed the relationship between humans and the animals of Africa.  4. Rules represented by this photo is the rule of thirds. Both the giraffe and the peopl...

I think this photo was the most unethical. The person who changed the picture completely changed the persons face. This was very rude to the person in the picture because it basically sent her the message her face wasn't okay to be publicized.  I think this one is the most ethical. I think this because they only photoshopped the horse handler out to draw attention to the main subject not because they thought the handler was "not attractive or imperfect." 

1. One of the main points is that as a journalist you get the reins on how the public sees views and hears things so it's good to be responsible. 2. They have strict guidelines on how their photographers can shoot things. 3. Acceptable things to do is to fix lighting, or smooth over hair, or make the picture look like a better picture by adjusting things like color, brightness and cropping it.
