1a. Travis Haughton
1b. sports and stories
1c. mergers, some photos look set up, pictures of signs, too many children photos
1d.The judge likes the first photo and how it wasn't staged-candid.
1e. The photographer is still an amateur because he had many basic mistakes. I liked their theme of children but I didn't like most of the photos.

1c. out of focus, frame is too small, too cluttered

1b. photoj, sports, artistic
1c. out of focus, photo of children with disabilities is redundant, head gets cut off
1d.boldness of the first photo, silhouettes
1e. I like the artistic/graphical photos the photographer took. I liked most of the photographers photos.
2a. The judges liked how the photographer was in the middle of the action, the photos were clean, mostly in focus, and shot from good angles.
2b. I think the photographers strength was being able to capture the moment from a close distance and a weakness was going overboard on photoshop for one picture.
3a. The judges go through the top portfolios and view them overall. They pick a photographer who had clean and majorly good photos. When it comes down to the last two they see which portfolio worked the best and was not redundant.
1.I agree with the eight picture story portfolio in part 4, about the boy who works with greyhounds. The judges and I like the pictures because they tell a great story, without confusing the viewer. The story was told well.
2. In the first photo in part one the judges say that there is nothing to the photo, which I disagree with. I think that the photo looks very interesting with the blurred road and the vibrancy of the red car.

Action Shoot
Bella L., a sophomore at James Bowie High School, runs towards the camera with her arms folded. She was very cold because it had just rained before her class went outside.
Running across the courtyard, Bella L. laughs at herself. She was embarrassed that she had to run while people were watching her.
Another Bowie student, Haley Peck, runs through the academia building doors into the courtyard. She had been working on an assignment for her 8th period class.

Warmup and Architecture Preview
warmup:
I agree with this statement. I think that people like to surround themselves with things that make them comfortable and attribute to their personality, and define their environment by those things, as opposed to the space itself. As a photographer, it makes me want to capture the essence of what define's people, and their atmosphere. It gives unique ideas for shoots.
The picture were neat to look at and I would definitely want to take photos of it. At the same time though, all the doll head were a little creepy.
I think it would be a dream come true to be the child of someone who worked at this place. The children would get to play with all the open toys and be the first to play with the new toys.
My favorite photo was the photo with all the flowers. There is a lady with her back to the camera,crossing her legs at her desk. The desk is in the center. The three walls surrounding her are covered in beautiful flowers and foliage of all different colors.

The architect followed the style of a normal boxy building, but decided to make his design unique by rearranging the squares and rectangles to create a masterpiece. The building would be fun to live in for a while, but I don't like the modern take on housing as much, I prefer the traditional style. But I chose the photo, but it is much more interesting to look at, than a regular home.
