thanksgiving.


Baraka.

Although there was no dialogue, I really enjoyed the video. Since it was a worldwide video, it has more of an impact because it is not focused on one language. If there was dialogue it would be hard for other cultures to understand each other. The music also added to the emotion of the images depicted. I enjoyed seeing all the parts of the world and the how the cultures differ.

shadow.

After waiting a couple minutes for the sun to come out, I was able to find this shadow on the side of the mansion. It is a shadow of tree braches reflected onto the wall.

Facebook Experience

Dear Ms. Christina Cuevas,
     After viewing on of your facebook albums I feel that I got a chance to get to know you more as a person. Every single picture had a person in it which showed that you are friendly and always like to surround yourself with other people. These pictures were a lot different then the ones you share with the class because i feel like most of these were snapshots. Some elements and principles that I saw in your photos were Rule of Thirds, Color, Movement, Space, and Value. Even if these were not intentional they really added to your album. In the future, I hope to see more snapshots in the photos present to class because they show more of your personality. Overall, I enjoyed the album that you chose to present.
