Pro’s vs Joe’s

As this is the last post of the class i will give a little review of the class and my post. It has been my favorite class of the semester as we get to really be artistic. My thoughts have definitely changed about photography as I now know it is harder. When I take photo’s now I always use Rule of Thirds so that it is a good photo. My favorite project was the Rule of Thirds as we had so much creativity. I don’t know if photography interest’s me in a career but I defiantly want to learn more.
This is my favorite photo of the class:

This project shows how my photo’s change and here is the Pro’s vs Joe’s

Pulitzer prize
The first photo I picked was the Kosovo Refugees. It was taken in 1999 by Carol Guzy and shows a 2 year old named Agim Shala getting passed through a barbed wire fence at a camp ran by the UAE in Albania. When I first saw the photo I was overun with emotions as I was looking at a cute baby getting passed through wire almost getting hit and hurt. As a photographer I feel like I would have done the same as the Carol, just take the picture.
The second picture was called The Vulture and the little girl. It first appeared in the New York Times in 1993 and was taken by Kevin Carter. It’s of a little girl who collapsed in the foreground with a vulture eyeing her down in the backround. The picture hit me because you just see a little kid who is so sick and can’t do anything about it. As a photographer I don’t think I would have helped her as photographers were told not to touch people because they were sick and contagious.

Second exibit:
My second favorite thing was the sports movie called “PRESS BOX: THE HISTORY OF SPORTS REPORTING”. I liked it because it showed many of the most important sports moments ever and as a lover of sports I found it very interesting. As you got to see many of the sports greats reflect on there best plays then broadcasters reflecting on the worst times in sports it is a good mix of the good and the bad.
