Faveorite poem and photo

The begger man photo is an enviornmental photo because the the photo is candid and he is outside in everyday life.
The photographer had a kind of gloomy effect going because the photo is just a little underexposed to where we cant see the begger's eyes and the shadows are really dark.

Suicide's Note was my favorite poem after reading for 20

Cover History

Cover types
1. Early Magazine Covers - Dedicated the first page to table of contents and the title, also they
tented to have just the title and publication data and an illustration.

2. The Poster Cover - Verry little or no words were used at all on the front cover except the Title. These magazines looked like they were ment to be hung on walls and to be framed.

3. Pictures Married to Type -More words were begining to show up in these types of covers.
The model's face began to overlap the title. The picture and the words were related to stories.

4. In the Forest of Words - The cover lines and the photos overlap. Alot of words are used in these covers, and the models are in specific poses to allow multiple coverlines.

Some funneh captions~

Jerry Duckworth comes back to the inpiration for his hair style. He later decided that it wasn't for him.

Joe the panda slides down the icy slide in Alaska wonder park. Joe slid a total distance of 10 feet.

Officer Claiton rides along on his new mode of transportation. The school decided he wasnt cool enough for his car, the 4 wheeler, or the bike.. so he gets a giraffe.

Rosato

Shot with: Canon EOS-1D, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM zoom, shot at 1/500 f/6.3

I think his shutter speed was fast enough to freeze him in the air between steps and the aperature was small enough to keep him and some of the crowd behind him infocus.

I think he was sitting across the court when he took this shot.

Pinhole

I don't really like this one because the image is kind of blury, its not verry interesting, and there is some wasted space.

I like this one alot because it gives a great example of still life, its well framed, there is nothing distracting from the subject, and good lighting to bring focus on the bike.

Negative critique

I like the negative 5A the most because its candid and best framed.

I also like the neg. 0A too because its well framed and candid, however i don't like the other person in the back taking a picture, it's distracting to the viewer.

Two photo critique

I think this is a great photo because it fills the frame, its a great candid moment and its at the peak of emotion/action.

I don't think this is a verry good photo because the frame is not filled all the way and there is alot of distracting things in the shot, also it is not even, also its a little blurry. It is however near the peak of emotion/action, and it's a candid moment.
