Sports Portfolio Evalaution
Sam Adams
-bicycles- captured some unnecessary subjects in the photos, not close enough to the subject, subject was bland
-setting was nicely chosen, good lighting
-each photo told its own story, which made me really enjoy them all
Nick Adam
-Kids' and adults' unique moments. -Out of focus, same looking pictures, no story, too much cropping. -Where the eye moves throughout the picture, very journalistic. -I really like most of the pictures because they very interesting to view.
Alyssa S.
-people in their environment - shot from a distance, same lense, same feel. - contrast of colors, the emotions -She seemed fairly decent, i liked a few but most were kinda basic.
2. Watch the winning portfolio critique (Dustin Snipes), and post the following:
a. good color and composition, good subject choicesb.- I agreed with the judges in that they were full of color and interesting, but some of them were still poorly taken... out of focus, bad lighting..etc.
3.
a) The judges spent quite some time choosing their pick, and became a very tough decision which I cannot imagine with all the incredible pieces of work that was entered.1) I agree with the judges on what they were saying about the photo of a diver in the warm up pool. There were really interesting shapes being created that were pleasing to the eye, as well as being able to get a view of the whole pool.2) I disagree with the judges on what they said about the photo of the girl with the punching bag. They stated that it wasn't a very good photo, but I thought it was a pretty great photo. In fact, I loved it. I liked the angles and the colorization of the photo.

Sensory Overload
"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.
1) When I read this quote I do think it is right, because nowadays the thing is all about our phones and if we have the latest and greatest. I agree with this because the social media world is huge and huge in todays world. Even though I don't feel like I am a huge photographer, I do think it would be important for when I am taking pictures to put in the aspect that it would be good to take pictures to really show people the beauty beyond our phones.
2) When I was looking at the website, I did feel the desire to go and visit. My first thought wouldn't be like "oh, I want to go take pictures!!" It would be more of that I want to go there and see what this place is about, and then I would be like, "oh, I should take pictures on my phone."
3) I think if my parent worked at that place, I might be a little embarrassed just because it is pretty unique and some people might judge me for my parent working there. But then again, I wouldn't be that embarrassed because my parents would still be making the same money and paying bills from money they earned so thats how I would express my feelings towards if my parents worked there.
4) I think my favorite photo would be the first one. The one when you first get on the website you can see what looks like to be the whole store seems to look like. Also, I like this picture because there are lots of bright colors in it. Lots of blues, reds, yellows, and other fun/pretty colors that attracts the eye.

Architecture Preview #1
Kunsthaus Graz, Austria
1. Peter Cook2. 20033. It is located in Graz, Austria4. You can visit it5. It cost $50 million to build6. It was built as part of Capital of Culture celebrations in 20037. When I saw the photo for this building,m it really captured my eye because it just looked like an organelle or a blob made of jello or something. The fact that this was made as an actual place is really interesting.
2. 19573. Brussels4. Public.5. A triangular piece about 2 meters (7 ft) long sold for €1,000.6. It was built for Expo 58.7. I chose this building because I don't know much about Belgium. This turned out to be different than I thought- I imagined a building, but this turned out to be a giant crystal structure shaped architecture. I chose this picture because the rest seemed to boring and this one made the structure pop out.
La Pedrera, Spain1. Antoni Gaudi 2. 19063. Barcelona4. Public5. no6. it was made s a house7. I chose this building because it was the first one on the list. I tend to pick that one because it is usually the best one since it is listed first. It also looked really cool on Eugene's computer when he was doing this.
Turning Torso, Sweden1. Santiago Calatrava2. Construction began February 14th 20013. Located in Malmo, Sweden4. you can visit5. no info on cost6. To resemble a human spine twisting

Atomium, Belgium

7. When I saw that this building was supposed to resemble a humans 'turning torso', I had to learn more. It is really cool to see how actual humans and things inspire people to such things on a larger scale.
Krzywy Domek (The Crooked House), Poland
1. Szotyńscy & Zaleski2. 20043. Located in Sopot, Poland4. You can visit it5. No info on cost6. It was built in inspiration of Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg fairytale drawings7. I picked this place because when I looked at the picture, it looked very twisted and illusion like. Then I started to think "how did they make everything on the inside right side up, but the whole exterior crooked?" I got really interested in how it was built so I chose it.
