9/11

Good Example: Because this picture is a good example of simplicity. using the
marine's jacket to cover up any "junk" in the background, which helps us focus
on the little girl, who looks safe in the arms of the man.
Bad Example: The only bad thing about it is, that is a little blurry.

The Story






The Story I get from this picture is...


While everything around this girl may be chaotic, going fast...everything that she seems to do, or gets consumed in suddenly feels as if time is stopping, or slowing down. Another concept could be, she feels like everyone is actually going somewhere, while she feels stuck in slow motion..


Action & Emotion



This is the best action & emotion because music is a beautiful art, what's better than that?

Filling the Frame

Fall Contests

This picture is inspiring to me because it proves how beautiful simplicity truly is.
The lighting contrasts, and the different shades make the photo powerful because it is showing the details of the cat & the couch, yet it looks so simple; there aren't any excess objects or backgrounds that pull you away from the main focus.
