WEEK EIGHT, DAY 5: A MAN-SIZED STREET CONE?

Tuesday March 9th, 2010

I really love the angle of this picture.  It really makes me see photography in a very creative and inspiring way.  This photographer was able to make a street cone, which is probably less than half the size of the police officer, appear to be the same height.  It's a very stunning and ingenious angle because it shows that the cones, which are used to warn cars of something, are just as important as the police officer.

WEEK EIGHT, DAY 4: TYLER PERRY IN THE BAHAMAS!

Monday March 8th, 2010

This is why I love photojournalism.  I never even knew that Tyler Perry, a reknowned director, producer and actor of Madea and other sensational black films was in the Bahamas and is planning to use The Bahamas as a backdrop for the premiere of one of his movies, 'Why Did I Get Married'.

WEEK EIGHT, DAY 3: FROZEN FLUIDITY

Friday March 5th, 2010

I love the motion and balance in this photo. The expressions, the life and the energy these four girls are showing are as bright as the skirts they are wearing.  It's obvious they love dancing and performing.

WEEK EIGHT, DAY 2: PUTTING THE LAW IN FOCUS

Thursday March 4th, 2010

This picture interested me because these students in California who were protesting about the rise in education fees are blurred whereas the officer in the back is clearer.  The focus has been put on the law.  The photographer who took this picture obviously wanted people to understand that even though many people are rioting there is still some measure of control over the situation.

WEEK EIGHT, DAY 1: SHE'S A HE?

Wednesday March 3rd, 2010

What I like most about this picture is the focus and emphasis put on the man in the front.  Yes, it is a man! I was so shocked to read about the beauty pageant with Indian transgendered people.  The focus put on the man, really makes his feminine beauty stand out even more.
