* Its different from the normal pictures that were taken by the group.
* I feel that emotionless/expressionless photos are better as they make think and look at their surroundings to find reasons why they have such a blank face.
* I was able to take a famous photographers idea and put it in a more modern setting.

To be honest this was I took with out really looking at what I was shooting at. Though all things considered it turned out better than I expected from a random picture. Its also pretty funny as Chris looked like he's trying to sell menthol in a very cheap way.

The are the three best I have. Using what you taught us I took multiple of the same picture in quick succession, got up close to my target, and experimented with different settings for the best results.

       Advantages to having a group:

1: Things are done more efficiently.

2: Can get opinion from group members. 

3: Plan, talk, and think things through.

Disadvantages to having a group:

1: Half(or all) group is prone to procrastinate.

2: Prone to argue over what to do.

3: Members might not be there when needed.

My interest for second semester would be more of virtual pictures where we find a animated still image and try to mimic it

You have a "Hecka Free zone" because thats the only area where we can eat. 

Gordan Parks

Gordon Parks was born on Nov 30 1912 Fort Scott, Kansas he grew up in a time where segregation was still popular to use to separate white and black people. However his town couldn't afford a segregated high school so they had to integrate whites and blacks together. His mother died when he was just 14 and he slept next to the coffin that night. He was then sent from relative to relative only to be cast off to the street. He worked at a gentlemen's club until the stock market crash, he caught a train to Chicago where he worked in a flop house. His photography career started off when he became interested in photos of migrant workers and bought his first camera.

Many of Gordons photos are of working people or migrant workers They look expressionless or working when the picture was taken.

These were the pictures I took inspired by Parks photo The Red Couch.
