The marathon was just four days before our ship date, but we scratched our cover and main feature and threw ourselves into honoring the runners and victims as best we could. The cover image is made up completely of shoes that ran this year’s marathon, and we were proud to tell their stories. We were even more proud that the sale of our May cover posters raised over $120,000 for the One Fund." it sends a message of hope and that we will move on from it. image based photos main focus is on a person u...

http://petapixel.com/2014/12/31/10-photography-resolutions-new-year/ on this article the author is talking about the 10 new years resolutions she had made. she talks about how we need to put more faith in our work and not be afraid of negative reactions. something else she talks about is how we should not be afraid of people critiquing our work and should learn from it. she said we need to take more photos of ourselves and see it as fun rather than a job. i chose this photo because of the way the character stood out in the rain and mist. some of the rules it followed were simplicity, avoid merging, and framing. the photo was taken by Jenna the photographer who wrote the article. all of the photos had a person in the middle except the last photo. they seemed to be surrounded by nature or had some nature in the photo. and most of them had the same person as the subject.

A self-portrait doesn't have to be of your face—the image of two hands holding a camera says a lot about the photographer who shot his own portrait. i chose both of these environmental photos because of the symmetry in both of them i chose this one because it is a reflection of the photographer i chose this one because of how he blended into the background i chose both of these because the background has interest but is not put as the main subject i think that for my pictures since i like to play magic the gathering i might go to mages sanctum and take a picture of the cashier since they are surrounded by cards and boxes around t...

i think the most powerful image is advice from dad, a Vietnam vet because he understands what his is going to go through. the pictures go through this year like a story of him changing from a child to a responsible person. the captions enhance the images because they give backstory to the images. a short summary is he lives in colorado before joining the army he goes through 13 weeks of training one camp he was at was near where he lived before going to Iraq for a year tour before returning home and getting married. it is in present tense it is usually two to three sentences the first sentence shows the time, place, and the people the second shows what Ian is doing in it the third usually includes a quote yes some include quotes no there are none that i see with 4 sentences no with a caption you can only give a brief story because books can go more in depth
