2. Watch the winning portfolio critique (Dustin Snipes), and post the following:
a.  good color and composition, good subject choices
b.- I agreed with the judges in that they were full of color and interesting, but some of them were still poorly taken... out of focus, bad lighting..etc.

3. Watch the contest recap video at the very bottom.
a. Briefly describe the process the judges went through in deciding the winner.- They looked at all the portfolios again and for the ones that they had decided were "awful" and "terrible" they eliminated on the spot until there were two left. They then chose between the two based on who had more of the good photos. 

Individual Images
1. Describe one photo that you agree with the judges on. Explain why you and the judges do or do not like it.
I agree with the fact that there was nothing special about the first picture. I can see yes it may look cool, but there's nothing important or special about it. It's just a guy on a sled.

2. Describe one photo that you do NOT agree with the judges on. Explain why you think the judges are wrong.
I disagree with them saying the the escalator photo is good. If you look at it there isn't much visual appeal and it is very blurry and could have bee better if maybe it was shown in color and focused better.

Architecture Preview

La Pedrera, Spain
1. Antoni Gaudi 

2. 1906

3. Barcelona
4. Public
5. no
6. it was made s a house
7. I chose this building because it was the first one on the list. I tend to pick that one because it is usually the best one since it is listed first. It also looked really cool on Eugene's computer when he was doing this.  

UFO Building, Taiwan

1. Hung Kuo Group.

2. 1978.
3. New Taipei City.
4. Private.
5. Not stated due to investment losses.
6. Living areas for people.
7. I chose this because the name had UFO in it. That usually makes the building seem interesting. It turned out that it was a pretty weird and cool building. I think that another things is that i didn't know much a Tawian so i looked it up. 

Turning Torso, Sweden

1. Santiago Calatrava
2. 2001
3. Malmo
4. private
5. no
6. It was to replace a crane to make a significant skyline
7. Because the name was intriguing. I got what I expected with it being a twisted building. I also chose because it  was in Sweden and Sweden is the home of myself and Zlatan. And anything from the home of Zlatan is good. 

Habitat 67, Canada

2. 1967

3. Montreal

4. Private.

5. High per-unit cost of approximately C$140,000.

7. I chose this because it had a weird name. I figured that it would be a weird kind o storage thing like area 51, but i was surprised to see that it was a living space.

Atomium, Belgium

Sensory Overload Warm Up

1. What do you think about this statement? I think that is is very wise and can begin conversation 
     Do you agree or disagree? I disagree because the physical space does affect us about as much as the things we surround ourselves with. 
      As an aspiring photographer how does this make you feel about your photography? It makes me think that you should be taking pictures of  things that really matter and change us rather than boring and normal tings, 

2. When you looked through the images, did you want to visit this place and take your camera?
I would rather just visit it without my camera because that would cause stress to take a good picture when i could just save it in my mind and be stress free. 
3. What do you think it would be like to be the child of someone who worked at this place?
I think it would e very different. The people who work there probably spend most of the day in the shops so there wouldn't be much time to talk to them. 

4. Describe your favorite photo to me.
My favorite photo was of the shop that sold rubber ball toys. as a kid any time i see those they are so fun to play with so that store looks the most fun. I also liked how many different colors and objects there were and that made it ore interesting.
