WEEK SIX, DAY 5: LIFE SAVING LOVE-HANDLES?

Tuesday 23rd February 2010

This woman in Florida was shot by a bullet and her 'love handles'- the excess fat around her middle, saved her life.  WOW.  There are so many women who go to gyms to get rid of their excess fat and this woman- well, she's happy and still alive because of it.  This picture shows a very laid back woman on a couch with a bandage in her side as she talks about her experience with a stray bullet and her life-saving love handles.

WEEK SIX, DAY 4: HOW DOES BICYCLE TASTE?

Monday 22nd February 2010

There are some things I may never understand but when I saw this picture I was so shocked.  It made me wonder how this Asian man pierced his mouth with a bicycle.  All I know was that he's a Chinese devotee, he did this during a Vegetarian Festival and bicycle isn't a vegetable no matter if it's as red as chillies.

WEEK SIX, DAY 3: BEYOND THE SEA OF RED

Friday 19th February 2010

This picture reminded me of another picture that was taken in The Bahamas except this picture has a lot more depth to it.  The photographer who took this picture obviously knew what he/she wanted to show to his/her audience.

This picture has a very wide depth of field.

First there's the man with the mike speaking with a paper in his hand- emphasis is on the paper by the way he holds it.

Then the picture shows a sea of people listening to this man and the angle of the picture makes the audience gives the viewer a better idea of just how many people were there watching- obviously alot.

Lastly, at the way back there are lines of trees and greenery with buildings and other bystanders watching in the distance- it's like he wants to reach out to the people beyond his supporters.

WEEK SIX, DAY 2: NO MUSHY PEAS FOR ME.

Thursday 18th February 2010

This picture makes me wonder what this woman thought or said to the cameraman who took this picture.  It was taken in The Bahamas.  It also shows that aging people don't only eat mushy peas and that they are no different than any other human except maybe a bit more wiser and older.  This food looks so good it makes me want to dig in as well.

WEEK SIX, DAY 1: FOCUSING ON THE FISH

Wednesday 17th February 2010

It's obvious that the focus of this picture is the Lion Fish in this man's hands since everything else around the fish is practically blurred.  This was probably done because the man was doing a demonstration and the Lion Fish was the subject.  Therefore, the Lion Fish needed to be more emphasized than the man- thus the fish is sharper than the man.
