1, 2, 3, Cheese!

                                           1) Great pic taken of me
I believe the purpose of this photo was to show how a simple pose in a unfamiliar environment can be captivating. After looking at this pic for a few minutes I found elements about it that captured my attention. I chose to keep this pics because the repetitive patterns of the fenced walls and my shirt created harmonized connection. To further my analysis I could tell how the image was focus on me that the relationship between the photographer and me was personal because of how my presence in the pic dominates the other visual objects in the image. By me being the center of the pic the photographer created an idea place to be force to look first ,and allowed everything else to revolve around me. This pic is intended to show how people how to created depth and center spots for the viewer catch on to. Because, this pic is good but very simple its not a pic that I would keep around for years but it would
 be a great reference to show beginner art students.  

2) Me capturing a moment of Raphael 


I believe in this pic the purpose was to capture how angles can manipulate the image. I kept this pic because how the image angle slightly tiled causing the background and subject to shift a bit. The shifting in the subject leaning to the left while the background falls creates this weird clash but balanced image. I also enjoy how the patterns are apparent in this pic. Because I was the photographer I really wanted to capture the happy and "prideful" image. In the image I see Raphael is standing tall and smirking. I think it goes greatly with the background because as the background leans Raphael is forever standing tall and holding his pride further creating this idea that he is the balance to the image. This photograph is to be viewed by all to show happiness and how its easily able balance images. Again, I enjoy this pic however it probably would still be a reference for me and other to learn from.


                                  3) Pres. Obama pic taken by Someone else  
   I chose this pic because it really capture and convey the emotions of happiness at that moment by the president.What draws me to the picture first is close up image of locked eye contact and the full smile. These two things create the feeling of sincere happiness. I believe because the president is seen as very power and high in authority most people assume that the president don't share that same idea showing gentleness and happiness. However, I think the photographer really wanted to show that because our newest president have been a man looking for change, apart of that emotionally connection in pic was to capture change in personality and leadership. By having a smiling leader shows me that he more alike as me and things are going to change for the best. Obama attitude towards the photographer is probably nothing new but it shows his openness to be photographed and happiness. This photo would most likely be viewed in an article about the president, because it portrays him in a happy moment. Mostly to be shown to young adults and older to give the masses reinforcement that their president is emotionally healthy and a politically strong. Ten years from now this image will still be around because its a reminder of a young and very inspirational leader in America.
