My captions

Long hours of sight seeing, susan eventually stops to get a sip of water. The 2 year sheep escaped from her main location, and many people wondered who she really belonged to, still no one has found susans true owner.

Learning the new techniqu: Repitition

Doe-Eyed: Lisa Simpson appears on television screens on a new Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 after its inaugural passenger flight from Singapore to Sydney, Australia

Repitition: Obviously the seats and the faces on the seats are very repetitive. It catches your eye though cause it kind of leads you all the way down the airplane.

The Blues: Performers rehearse for the opening ceremony of the 6th National City Games in Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei province. The sporting meet will begin on Oct. 25 in Wuhan


Repitition: The big squares and the people holding them are very repititive, when this happens your eye just follows from square to square.





Caption: Toil in the Fields :A farmer works at a laver (edible seaweed) farm at Gutong Village in Fujian Province, China.




The seaweed itself and where the camera got the photo is very well repeated.


The amount of space, the two holders holding the bridge thing and the lines that are coming down from where it goes into the water, are all very repetitive. It leads your eye to look all the way down through the lavers.

Sugar Hill

1) Besides photography Melanie Burford used her skill of giving in to the people she was taken photos of. She had let them trust her and bring her in, and actually took the time to take the photos and wasnt just an overnight experience. She was there for every kind of emotion that occured for this family. She also used all of the multimedia effects, besides just putting pictures in a slide.
2) The multimedia effects would be the singer in the backround. The effect of having the singer in the backround set the tone of the whole slideshow itself. It brought the power just for you to kind of just sit there & actually pay attention to what the story is trying to bring out. Also the song itself that the singer is singing, the words that she's saying gives you that tone. Tone of clarity. Also all the other things she included besides the slideshow like the backround, maps of the house, etc kind of lets you more inside the story.
3) I think the ones with the most interesting to me was the map, and the video from the pastor. To read where everything takes place, and to understand the living conditions of everyone really does put that point that Melanie Burford was trying to get across.
The video of the pastor just gives you that little piece of hope. For one man to come and try to change things in the area makes you realize that it really is just ONE man who is trying to do it all, and who pretty much has the hopes of Sugar Hill in his hand, and his hands only.
