Funny Captions

 The bird pooped on the little asian boy while he was walking around the park. The asian boy was thinking to himself "Why is this bird going to crap on me!".

This is billy after is horrible hair cut at super cuts. I told him that it looks like they grabed a weed wacker and cut his hair with that, and it also looks like that person was blind.

Cool Video

The part where the guy starts breakdancing was the coolest part in the whole video. I would like to see some more hip hop dance in the video. I think that the maker of the video should not shake the camera as much.

Instagram Phone Photography

1. What theme that we could take here at school could we do a series of these panels to place around the school? We should have it represent something, or have a meaning that most people would understand.
2. Should we use phones only, or should we open it up to our regular cameras for those people that don't have camera phones?
I think we should let people choose what feels more comfortable to them.

I picked the photo because I really like the setting and the focus on the Eifel Tower. The photographer used simplicity in the photograph.

Great Black And White Photographers Part 3

Jerry Uelsmann

1) I really like the way the Jerry Uelsmann manipuilates his photos, and the setting the he uses in his photographs is amazing. The amount of focus he uses in each of his photos is so great. The angles that he has with his photos is great, I want to learn how to take pictures like him. He is by far my top favorite photographers.

 I see... A man walking toward a door.

I smell... the trees that are surronding the man.

I hear... The birds in the trees.
I taste... The water that the man is walking in.

I feel... The water on my feet going up my leg.

I see... The sky where the ceiling is supposed to be.
I smell... The flowers on the dining table.
I hear... I hear the wind blowing.
I taste... The water that is on the dining table.
I feel...The chilled air rushing down my spine
