This photo is dramatic because the smoke going into the sky, while there is a sunset in the background.

Touching people.

1. I think this project and photo is very interesting. It really shows how we can be close to even strangers.
2. If somebody asked me to do this I would probably be a little confused at first and then do it just for the new experience.
3. I think this would be fun because showing people touching their noses would bring out the humor and show to let loose.
4. All of the photographer's photos are centered. He chooses to make the backgrounds very simple which is good for portraits because it doesn't distract from the subject(s). This photographer took into consideration the rules of photography and used them well.

Cool advertising idea

This is my favorite because I had to give a second look at the lizard to make sure it's made out of hands.
This does encourage me to get an AT&T phone because how well their ads are and how they work worldwide.
