Baraka

I enjoyed the movie of Baraka very much. The use of non narrative direction by Ron Fricke creates a strong image in the eyes of the viewer because it shows many places around the world but from a neutral standpoint, silence. The reason the silence creates neutrality is because it shows no bias for or against any of the images shown in the film. I feel as though Fricke knew what the viewers wanted to see and he portrayed the world very well.

Dear Josh

I felt that your photos were fun and enticing. Some could use better perspective but I think that overall, you portrayed the 49ers game very well to me as the viewer. I liked that you got more pregame photos than actual game photos because it shows the process that goes into preparing for an NFL game. I would also work on zooming in to the subject even more than you did so that you can see more expression.

Sincerely,
Scott

One Shot

This is a picture of the oxidation on a pole. The colors really caught my eye so I thought that it would make a great photo.

Sports Photography

This is a photograph of the Serra JV quarterback during practice. I used a 10mm focal length and put the camera near the ground.

This is the helmet of the JV quarterback. I focused on the mouth guard which boldly says 'PADRES'
