Baraka

This movie showed different clips of scenes of nature and people throughout the world. I liked how there was no speaking during the entirety of the film. When I was watching it, I could see that every scene could capture a remarkable photograph.

It also showed the different cultures and way of life of people around the world, for instance, Japan and India. My least favorite part about that was when it showed the man with only white eyes, screaming. I had trouble falling asleep after watching that. A scene that also struck me was when they showed the concentration camps, and then they showed all the faces of the jewish children in the camps.

I thought this movie was very inspirational and very interesting.

Dear Matt,

I liked the 5-ish pictures you had on your facebook. I learned that you like sports, and you never ever post pictures on facebook. Which you should. My favorite picture was the one of you falling down in the snow, and the one of pikachu. That's about it.
Sincerely,
Lizzie Aiello-Coppola

JOURNAL NOTES: 114-119

FORMAL PORTRAITS

When a photographer wants to take a formal portrait indoors, they should use a reflector on the opposite side of the subject from the light. the position of the lighting is critical. When working outdoors, direct sunlight isn't always the best lighting. Open shade works really well, but avoid deep shade. Cloudy days are perfect for outdoor photographing.

CANDID PORTRAITS

For candid portraits, it's better to have a faster shutter speed, because your are most likely shooting action shots. Don't try and pose the subject, because that makes it more unnatural. When capturing a candid portrait, make sure you include the subject's surroundings. Try and not have your subject notice you either, that way they are more relaxed and natural. You can also use flash for candid portraits.
