The photo op reading gave me lots of ideas as to how to take the pictures for our group, since that was one of my tasks. It became a good tool to use to make my photos more successful. I took photography classes in high school where I essentially learned these things, but it was nice review. The main aspects of photography I used in my photos were repetition of color in my photobook, asymmetry in many of the pictures, close ups to define detail, and movement. As for the other article, I’ve learned an ample amount about photography in art history classes I have taken, but nothing in this much detail. It was fascinating to review the background of where it came from and peoples’ views on photography. Documentary photography has always been a particular interest of mine- I actually considered photo-journalism as a potential major. It is exceptionally interesting to me to see how one photo can not only connect to such a tremendous amount of people, but also provoke emotion from these people as well.
