Details

The photo is a details photo. I think this photo fits with details is because of the close up on the building's details. 
Light

This photo is on lights. I think it fits the description because of how one side is getting hit with light on the building, and then the others side has shadows.
Patterns 

This photo is about patterns. I think this photo fits with the description by maximizing the repeated pattern of the building off the water. 


Angles and shapes

 This photo is about angles and shapes. I think this photo fits with the description by not having a rectangular shape, and right angels.


Surroundings

  This photo is about surroundings. I think it fits the description by standing out of it's surroundings , and being cropped.

Father Was a Spy, Sons Conclude With Regret 

Who?

Robert and Michael Rosengerg

What?

Their parents are being put to death.

When?

Friday, June 19, 1953

Where?

 Sing Sing

Why?

 They were activist parents

How?

In the 1990s, the government released decrypted wartime Soviet cables that further implicated their father. Then their uncle, David Greenglass, who was an Army machinist at Los Alamos, N.M., where the atomic bomb was made, and was recruited by Julius Rosenberg as a spy, admitted that he fabricated the most damning testimony against their mother, but insisted that Julius was guilty of the formal charge, conspiracy to commit espionage.

Identify the lead.
They were the most famous orphans of the cold war, only 6 and 10 years old in 1953 when their parents were executed at Sing Sing for delivering atomic-bomb secrets to the Soviet Union. Then they were whisked from an unwanted limelight to urban anonymity and eventually to suburban obscurity.
Re-write the lead using your own words.
Michael and Robert Rosenberg's parents were executed at Sing Sing for delivering bomb secrets to the soviet Union in 1953. This made them the most famous orphans of the cold war.

Japans Earthquake

What makes it dramatic, is that the guy on the left is all worried and crying for maybe a love on stuck under the car.

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

This is a dramatic photo because it show the hard work of Japanese people trying to help others in the problem.

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.
