Funny captions - learning how to do it RIGHT

 

Brian is a Momma's boy he is guarded by dvds and cds, standing in his parent's living room posing for his proud Mom. Seems he had enough time to build himself an armor but no time to find himself a girlfriend to take him away from his Mom's fingers.



Josh is becoming more "advanced" he is able to go mobile with his PC. To bad somebody invented the laptop before he could. Somebody should tell him before he injures himself.
 

Spot, David's Doggie, is spoiled, where he doesnt have to use his own paws. He has the luxury of being a dog carrier. The only question is, can spot float?

A. What skills besides photography did Luis Sinco utilize to produce this slideshow? (Think about the overall presentation: audio, editing, text)
Luis Sinco used photography to show Blake's emotions, the audio is of Blake telling his story throughout the photos. Luis used editing and text to show when something big happened in Blake's life.

B. What was the effect (added power or meaning) of the multimedia effects of the slideshow?
It was sad that the men coming back from Irag and coming home from the Army, they are never the same. I can relate to this video because many men in my family are in the military, everytime i see their shining faces i am afraid of them not being the same when they come back. I am terrified of them not coming back at all, i wish i can hold them and keep them safe by my side but i cant its what their hearts want to do with their lives i dont have the heart to tell them dont go. This slideshow hits deep into my heart, every photo hurts. The meaning behind the photos is telling the story of a great man that fought for our country, protecting his love ones, and my love ones.

A. What is the most powerful image from the slideshow? Why?

The most powerful image for me was when Blake was saying he had brought his own problems upon him and Jessica didnt deserve to have all of his problems, the photo of her sitting on the bed looking down and Blake having his back turned to her at the window. It seemed as he still loved her and he couldnt look his love into her eyes. Him saying he would rather be without her than put her through all of that, having her fade away represented her fading away in his mind but she would never fade away in his heart.

B. What sequence of photographs is the most powerful? Why?

I think the most powerful sequence was when he started talking about he didnt know what do whether to ride his bike into a mountain side or ride it off the top of one, he closed his eyes and the screen goes black representing his eyes closing.

C. How does the audio enhance the photographs?

The audio enhances the history of Blake his life during and after Iraq. The pictures are powerful but Blake telling his own story himself makes the video even more powerful. Hearing the audio from him and Luis made me tear up. Not many are here today to tell their story, the ones that are here i believe they have every right to tell their story.

D. How do the images work together to tell a story?

The images are following Blake's audio but the images together are telling their own story. Each photo has a meaning behind it while i was watching the video all i could think to myself was i want to know more about Blake and more about each video.

This video caught my attention because the people stepped into Katrina's victim's shoes and tried to understand their situation. Its funny how just one little thing can help another person greatly, such as in the movie they gave a police officer gas and that gas saved a human being's life. This photo caught my eye because there is a little pattern going on in this photo, the orange tshirts, orange flags, the colorful flags behind them, and the huge american flag behind them. I love all of the colors in this photo its not one of those where there is so many colors it overpowers the photo making it become tacky.

This is photo is powerful to me because it has a pink classic car. Many guys have an interest in classic cars and assume girls dont have much of an interest in cars as they are. As people say when you assume you make an ass out of you and me (ass-u-me). This is also very powerful because the car's color is the color for breast cancer awareness. The lighting is dark and has dark colors the color that pop out the most is the pink off of the car and the green off of the green.

Great Black and White photographer part 3

This photo caught my attention because of everything going on in the picture. Everything in the picture is so bold, the flowers i love how each flower is a different color. The black and white bring out the photo, mostly it makes the smoke pop out and her lips. I see the smoke and the flowers. I smell the smoke, i hate smoking and that my family members smoke but i love the way you can see the smoke in this photo. I hear the cigarette slowly burning and touching the model's lips. I taste the bitterness from me breathing in the smoke from the cigarette. I feel warm from the smoke going around me.

This photo caught my attention because the background has more than one thing going on and it brings out the woman. I see a beautiful dolled up caring woman feeding the bird. It looks as if she rescued the bird and cared for it. I smell the bird in need of a nurturing home. I hear the woman talking softly feeding the bird water. I taste the water. I feel warm inside because this photo shows that people care for animals even if they are from the street, she isnt one of those people that leave an animal on the corner just because they dont want to care for them anymore.

The Story

This picture shows the best story because in the photo has the kids looking down the bridge and they are so fascinated in what is going on around them, you can tell that they are on a field trip. Which means the tour person is telling them about the bridge and they are looking at whats going on under the bridge. The photographer focused the photo to the kids and a little part of the bridge which shows the kids was his main part of the photo.

Action and Emotion

This photo shows great action and emotion, especially emotion. It shows action because he is concentrating and not being distracted with the things going on around him. It shows great emotion because in the photo shows us that he is passionate about his artwork.

Filling the Frame

I believe this is a very interesting photo, actually the most interesting out of all the collection. It the most interesting because you see more than one artwork around him. You think he is drawing a self-portrait but he is actually drawing Lady Liberty, the symbol that represents power, wealth, and most importantly freedom..
