Japanese Earthquake

 This photo brings me a feeling of being left with nothing. The people are taking the tunnel with some of their belongings which is sad. The photographer used leading lines in this photo.

 I feel helpless when I look at this photo, their city is basically underwater and there isn't much to do about it. The photographer took a center shot and the buildings created leading lines.

This photo creates a feeling of sadness, all of their stuff is either ruined or gone. The photographer used rule of thirds to show the surroundings of the ruined photo.

Touching People

1. What do you think about this project and photo essay?
I think it's a great way for people to step out of their comfort zone and get to know someone else. It's a great icebreaker in my opinion.
2. What would you do if someone approached you with a camera and asked you to participate in a photo shoot and then asked you to touch a stranger? I'd hesitate at first to be comfortable touching someone else but then I'd be okay with it.
3. Think of an unusual photo shoot similar to this one that you think would be fun to go and shoot.
I would go and shoot strangers smiling, I think that would be fun to see everyone's different smiles.
4. Finally, tell me what you thought of the photography, did the photographer think about the rules of photography that you know about? What types of photos did he take? The photography was nice, the subjects were in focus. In some of the photos he used a background that wouldn't merge. I think in some he used the rule of thirds.

Cool advertising idea

 

I like this one the best becuse of the detail that they added to each hand and the phone they're using isn't as old as the other ones on the other ads. 

It would influence me to buy an AT&T phone because the ad will catch my attention and made me look more into the company and the phone and eventually buy one.
