WEEK TWELVE, DAY 4: Early days of the Bahamas Police Force

Tuesday 6th April 2010

This picture is of the early days of the Bahamas Police Force.  Without photography this picture wouldn't be here for us to see today.  That's why photography is so important.

WEEK TWELVE, DAY 3: Red

Monday 5th April 2010

I don't really know much about Asia but obviously there's a protest going on.  This photographer really captured the emotion of these people especially the man in the front.

WEEK TWELVE, DAY 2: Restaurant Robots?

Friday 1st April 2010

Who needs humans when they've got robots?  When I saw this photo the subject interested me.  In Asia they have robots serving food.  I found that so amazing and I would have never known about it if photography had never been invented.

WEEK TWELVE, DAY 1: Always posing

Wednesday 31st March 2010

Why is it that Bahamian photos always consist of people posing in their pictures?  This kind of photography has a great loss of feeling and style.  The Bahamas definitely needs to look at the kinds of photos people take all around the world and learn from them.  Maybe then photojournalism would become more effective in The Bahamas.

PHOTOS AT THE PARADISE ISLAND BRIDGE AND MARINA VILLAGE

So this was our final trip for our class.  First, we went up the Paradise Island Bridge, we roamed around Marina Village and then we went back up and down the bridge.  It was exhausting and the sun was quite hot that day, but it was fun and I really liked the photos I was able to take.  But, I know I still have a lot of work to do when it comes to taking meaningful pictures of people.

This is what I have!  First, my five favorite pics!

WEEK ELEVEN, DAY 5: Light at the end of the tunnel

Tuesday 30th March 2010

This picture is filled with darkness but the people walking to the light makes it seem as though things are slowly but surely getting better for the people of Haiti.  This picture looks like people walking through a dark tunnel and going toward the light.

WEEK ELEVEN, DAY 4: Dark Concentration

Monday 29th March 2010

This picture focuses perfectly on the face of Danny Glover a cast member at the Cannes Film Festival.  There is such concentration on this man's face.  It's obvious that he's in very deep thought and I really like this picture because it makes me think.

WEEK ELEVEN, DAY 3: Anywhere but the Bahamas

Friday 26th March 2010

This is the kind of stuff that you don't ever see in The Bahamas.  This photo makes the observer feel as though they are a part of the action.

WEEK ELEVEN, DAY 2: Change

Thursday 25th March 2010

In this picture I see togetherness between races.  A long time ago people of different places hardly looked or even smiled at each other.  It's obvious that the times have really changed.  This is why photography is so important because now we can see the change between the past and the future.

WEEK ELEVEN, DAY 1: Focus

Wednesday 24th March 2010

This picture shows the great concentration and focus these music students have.  The most focus is put on the girl in the front as you can see it's clearer than the girl in the back.
