Baraka

This film was not really the kind of film I would have expected to watch in Photography. I thought this was a very educational film even though it never had any words/ script. I found all the different lifestyles of different areas of the world very diverse and different from what I immagined.
One scene that stuck out to me was the one of the asian people and the millions of little chicks that were being used as whatever they were being used as at the factory. I found it shocking that they treated them like objects and how they burnt their poor little beeks and how they threw them down funnels and grabbed them by their wings. Then it was depressing at the end of the scene when they shoved them in little cages so they could get their eggs and when they grew to eat them. I just really found that part of the film really sad.
This film taught me that you don't have to have a nerrator or someone speaking during a movie to be informed of what is happening. This shows the importance of photography in the way that it can tell so much about something/ somewhere without really saying anything at all.

Dear Brianna,

Dear Brianna,
Your pictures are very interesting and funny. I like the one of the cute little puppy and the ones of you and your (idk) cousin or brother making funny faces. It shows that you like to have fun with your family and take pictures of yourself having a good time. I guess I would like to see some principles in there even though I did see color, emphasis, and symmetry in your pictures. Idk what else to say but your dog is cute!

I like the detail in this one

I like the contrast in this picture of the players practicing clapping in the air in lines.

This shows the intensity of a moment in a game

This is the moment after when #18(Mia) gets the ball and is ready to pass it.

We were supposed to pick one picture from many we took this morning and I chose this one because I like the contrast and the quality of the photo.
