a. Justin Mott

b. stories

c. focus, telling a story, portfolio building

d.  point of view and emotion

e. I liked this photography but I think they could do better on their focus and portfolio building.

2.
a. The judges liked the use of focus and they also liked composition. The judges liked how they photographer could tell a story and capture emotion in certain photographs.
b. I think the photographer did well with focus and capturing emotion. I think they could really work on not complicating photographs because then the viewer is confused on what the subject is.

3. They go through each contestant and they list/discuss strengths and weaknesses of each person's work. They talk about how well a certain photographer did with a topic and how well they captured each and every picture.

Part 2:

1. Girl in circle pool- I agree with the judges and I like how the photographer captured the subject and the use of shapes throughout the photograph. I also like the lighting, it shows more to the story.

2. Greyhound race image- The judges didn't like the background and how both dogs were cut out of image. I believe the image was very well done and had amazing focus. I think this photograph was very well done to show action.

4. It is a visitor attraction.

5. Can't find

6. They were trying to build a pit but due to a lot of rain it was turned into something new. It has had a movie filmed there and many other things.

7. I chose this building because I liked the name of it. I chose it because Eden is supposedly a paradise sort of thing and it sound cool. I also want to go to the UK so it would be cool to find out new things about the UK and things in it.

6. It had been built by a couple whose names were  Roser Segimon and Pere Milà. The building has many Christian symbols inside as well.

7. I chose this building because its name sounded cool. I also chose it because it is in Spain 

and so I thought it would be a very pretty building. I like this building because it looks

nothing like the ones in the United States.

1. Charles Deaton

2. Built in 1963

3. Genesee Mountain, Jefferson County, Colorado, US

6. The architect wanted to find the highest point on this mountain so he'd be able to stand and feel the great reaches of Earth.

7. I chose this one because it is in the United States and I wanted to see what it looked like. I chose this building as well because it is very different from the two buildings I previously used for this assignment. I like the look of the building and that it has lots of windows.

2. Built in 1978

3. New Taipei City, Taiwan

6. Unknown really. Buildings look like ufos and people believe some futuristic being made them.

7. I chose this one mainly because the name. I wanted to know more about it and see if they actually looked like ufos. I also chose this one because it is out of the United States and I was eager to see what Taiwan had made.

Sensory Overload

1. Yes, I agree in some respects to the quote because people are labeling places. I think the quote helps me think differently and give me new ideas on photos.

2. Yes, I think I would want to take my camera to all these places because they are cool, very bright, and full of things to look at.

3. I think if I were a child to a person that worked at one of these places, I would be able to look at things all day and always be able to notice something new.

4. My most favorite photo is the one with flowers all in it because it is bright and very pretty to look at. Plus I really like flowers.
