    I think all of your shots are good this week but my favorite is the one of Meg because of the framing effect really drawing the focal point to Meg.

    Great work this week. My favorite shot you took has got to be of Meg. the framing element of this shot is amazing and it makes you want to know what Meg is thinking of st this exact moment this photo was taken. Great work!

    My favorite photo of yours this week is St. Giles in Edinburgh. I love the choice to go with Black and White and flying bird in the left side of the photo. I also like the angle from the side, instead of straight in front of the building. I also really like your shot of Meg. The framing with the leaves is exquisite and her eyes are piercing. Also appreciate your choice to go with black and white with this photo as well.

    Good job this week! I absolutely love the picture of the swan. The stark contrast between the white swan and the black water is stunning. The orange beak really sticks out and is so pretty.

    These photos are amazing!!! The simplicity of the swan picture is gorgeous. Once again you captured the beam of light coming from the light source in the Edinburgh Alley photo. The bird flying on the edge of the St. Giles photo frames it so well and makes the photo come alive. The sun is just peaking over the top of the cathedral, making it so much more dramatic and powerful. My absolute favorite photo is the overlook of the London street. This photo gives me vertigo and I love it. It looks like you had to be hanging over a railing to take this photo. The line the street makes down the middle of the photo creates a nice division between the chaos happening in the streets. Actually as I'm typing this I think the photo of Meg in the garden is my favorite... You definitely snapped the photo when she wasn't expecting it and captured a natural facial expression. Overall, solid work... your best week of photos no doubt.

    Your growth between week one and week two is astounding. You're really getting the hang of using light and angles to bring the photo to life and make it feel as if the audience is peering into your scene. Great model for your forrest photo, of course. ;) You definitely have a diverse set of work here, but I think they all uniquely capture Britain. The only thing that stands out to me is the post in the foreground of the alley photo, but it's an easy Photoshop fix. Great work, very proud of you!

A Visual Map of My Favorite Place

Image
     Whenever I need to take some time for myself to relax or be creative I go to what I call  my outdoor studio .  It's a little patio in my backyard where I can paint and feel secluded.  Inspiration comes easily here since I can look out across the rolling field and watch birds flitting from tree to tree.       I presented this using Prezi, because I like the idea of letting the viewer have the choice to explore on their own.  Included are some found objects, a snippet of an interview, photos, a sketch, a painting, and a video of a very peculiar bug.

Tanguera & Violin Concerto Reflection

• How would you describe the venue (setting for the building, lobby, theatre space)? The venue for Tanguera was contemporary.  Glass, metal, and stone elements came together to form this modern look.  The street art murals were also very contemporary.  That was the first time I had seen art like that in such a fine establishment. The theatre was not ornate like the Barbican.  The stage would have a few props like tables, or laundry lines.  The backgrounds would change from a building facade to a simple lit wall.  Nothing was too over the top.  It helped you to focus on the performers.  The venue for the Violin Concerto was extremely ornate and classical.  St. Martins was light and delicate.  Detailed molding covered the ceiling and walls embossed in gold.  Quite different from the theatre space at Tanguera that was black and dark.  I couldn’t help but think of all the generations of people dressed to the nines who migh...

Week Three Theatre Reflection

• How would you describe the venue (setting for the building, lobby, theatre space)? It was set in multiple locations.  Macbeth moved us from outside in a garden to the inside of a church.  There were blog-like papermache sculptures in the garden.  I felt like I was in a mystical world.  I had never experienced a play in which you move around.  I think it made it that much more engaging and immersive.  The sets, props, and costumes showed signs of the artist’s hand.  I loved that they looked hand made.   • How did the actual architecture/design of the space make you feel and/or affect your experience? It was definitely very immersive.  I particularly liked the special effects of the audio that sounded like a battle scene.  It surround the walkway that funneled the crowd onto the next scene.  The fog, battlecries, and clashing of swords made me feel like I was in the thick of a war.  I feel like this could have ...
