Saul Steinbergs March 29, 1976 The New Yorker magazine cover, View of the World from 9th Avenue, has come to represent Manhattans telescoped perception of the country beyond the Hudson River. The cartoon showed the supposed limited mental geography of Manhattanites.

Shortlist Warm-Up

Landscape:



I think this is pretty cool. I like how in the bottom there is a little whiter leaf tree and in the backgroung is a huge hill cover of grass.

Travel:



I like how in this picture goes well with the title "travel".
And how it shows the man and the two people on the boat to the side and the rest of the background it shows were they are heading too.

Fashion:



This one was really hard to pick there was alot of photos i liked. But what i like most about this picture is the background and how the picture looks.

Family and Friendship:



This picture shows two people having a great time in their favorite restaurant where they always been meeting. I like this picure because you're never too old to have any fun.

Portraits:



I like how the camera is focusing on the balloon and the girl is a little blurry in the background, also how great the quality came out of the picture.

Documentary:



This picture is really cool and also scary i wouldnt want to be in the middle of the poles because i would be afraid of falling, but other than that the man must be really brave.

Gardens and plants:



Its cool how this the reflection from a pond, i really thought the trees were like that and just photoshoped the picture.

Wildfire:



Its cool how a bunch of birds always meet up where the electricity wire and just balance there and make alot of noise like their talking.

Creactive Licence:



It would be so cool if we can do this in real life. I wonder how they made the picture look like this.

Action and Movement:



This is a great example of action and movement. It shows the horses running fast to win the championship.
I like how it shows that they were going really fast to win.

Self Portrait and Portraits Part II AND Rules of Photography Part II

Tips.
1.) Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, don’t be afraid to over-act. The worst that can happen is that you fill up your memory card with useless photos; but you might also find yourself with a proper gold-nugget of a self portrait.

2.) Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That’s part of the point, after all.

3.) Use a mirror! It seems so obvious, but how to use mirrors is important, too – take it down from the wall, and experiment!

I choosed this photo because it shows all over the walls of how the person is feeling, alone, depressed, etc.
and the color black and white goes along well with the feeling of this picture.



             I really like this picture of the two couples kissing and showing that they love eachother.



     The thing i like this picture it shows one couple holding hands and walking through the long
                                                                grass on a pretty day.



And the thing i like about this picture is of the family showing love towards eachother and the
mom and dad kissing their son in the cheek.


I think this picture is pretty cool. it shows scary hands ponting to the women
dress in a clown and it shows that she is afraid.


              Another picture that i thought it was cool. Of how the men just sits there with a bunch of dvd's
all around him. It just comes and shows that he likes watching movies.
