Music Poster Assignment: The Beatles at Shea Stadium

Period 1 Semester Final

1. My favorite is photo #7 because I personally enjoy photos of colorful, glow in the dark objects. Also, it gives off a very clean feeling due to the lack of impurities. My final reason for choosing this photo is that I cannot clearly see any people or any of the filth associated with our species.
2. Photo #1 is probably the "best," since it clearly required the most preparation. it is a rare sight in comparison to the others and probably took somewhat more skill to achieve the correct timing.
3. My best work is definitely my self-portrait, since it is a picture of my face taken by me and edited by none other than yours truly. how could anything else in my blog post compare?      Self Portrait
4. My 3 rules were: Avoid the middle, Backgrounds, and Break the rules.
   
5. I used "Avoid the middle" and "Backgrounds" to add spice to this image: I darkened the background to draw out their appearance, I avoided the middle to prevent either person from being the center of attention.
6. The 'Rule of Thirds."
7. Working in a group allows students to compare the quality of their work with one another, keep track of deadlines, take pictures of one another, and provide much needed company for one another during class. However, the one most important task that only group members can do for one another is waking up individuals who have fallen asleep during lectures.
8. The difficulties of working in a group (Or at least in my case): Helping one another takes extra time, always staying together can lead to unproductive and time consuming conversations, less diligent individuals may become a burden on more serious members, or maybe having too much dead weight may cause a dedicate person such as myself to slack off occasionally. In the end, nothing good comes out of working together with smelly adolescent guys; Nevertheless being alone would be far worse.
9. Gurbaaz Brar's "Depth of Field" assignment. It was a picture of me, of course.         GURBAAZ
10. My master photographer was Eugene Atget. Eugene took pictures of the street life in Paris. His photos helped show the world the harshness of reality.
11. The "Migrant Mother" was taken in 1936 in Nipomo, California. Duining that time Dorothea was employed by the Resettlement Administration.
12.  1936.
13. January 6, 1935.
14. Magnum, which was founded in 1947.

The Velvet Underground & Nico (Album Cover Imitation)

To imitate the album cover, I used a picture of an ordinary banana, and with some light editing, turned it into a masterpiece that surpasses the original.

Animated Bird

An original masterpiece by James Qiao.

Masters of Photography Project Reflection

        I believe that my project shows the amount of effort I put into my work as a student and represents how seriously I take all of my schoolwork.Over the past few months in this class, I have learned about various master photographers and their greatest works. Also, I gained some experience from taking photos.Working in a group usually prevents me from missing deadlines or even entire assignments. UNDER IDEAL CONDITIONS being in a group helps to ensure quality and completion.If, and only if, by some unfortunate accident I am placed in a group with many students less motivated than me, I will be obligated to help them with their assignments. In such cases, I would be better of working alone.If I had known that we had so much time in class after thanksgiving break to work on my project, I would not have rushed to complete my work before the apparent "deadline".
