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.

PICTURES AT POTTER'S CAY DOCK

 really didn't like this assignment.  I couldn't find anything interesting to photograph and whatever I did find, I was too irritated by the disgusting men and the rain to find a proper angle to capture the subject.  (Sighs) That's no excuse I know, but still.  It was very uncomfortable and it annoyed me so much I could hardly focus.

Anyway, I looked through my pictures and was happy to discover that I actually liked a few of them.

Here they are!

Photo Name: The Tethered Connection

Yes so this is my favorite picture that I took.  The tethered rope in this picture was my focus because it shows a connection between the sea and the land.  The details of the rope is very clear on the far right corner of the picture and then the length of the rope is shown using the depth of field.

Photo Name: In Control

This picture just shouted 'Control' when I looked at it closely.  I was actually inside of a boat/ship when I took this picture.  I have no idea what the black ball thing is in the center but when I took the shot it reminded me of some kind of control panel.  Also, the picture makes the viewer look as if he/she is in control of the world laid out before him/her.

Photo Name: Rainy Dock

Photo Name: Fish Belly Pink

Photo Name: Hangin' Out

Photo Name: Artistic Depth

Photo Name: Conch Shell Cay

Photo Name: Rope Across the Blue

Photo Name: Up, Up and Away!

Photo Name: White Criss-Cross

WEEK TEN, DAY 5: Bahamian Agriculture

Tuesday 23rd March 2010

Yet again, there isn't much to say about this picture.  It's really not interesting at all.  It showcases the produce and the Minister of Agriculture and Marine Resources the Hon. Lawrence Cartwright.

WEEK TEN, DAY 4: Boring

Monday 22nd March 2010

There is nothing exciting or appealing about this picture.  It's just plain and boring.  The composition is very straight forward.

WEEK TEN, DAY 3: Crime Scene

Friday 19th March 2010

Another important reason for photography is that without it, people wouldn't have as much knowledge about a particular crime.  The first picture shows beneath the Oakwood train station where a 10-year-old girl's body was found.  The second picture gives even more information by showing the train tracks and the arches where the girl was found.  The pictures are amazing in terms of composition.  Each part of the picture tells a certain part of the crime scene story.
