13th Floor San Antonio, TX

I by no means went through this haunted house!  My purpose here was to wait the hour and 30 minutes for my daughter and her friend to finish their night of horror and thrills!!!  My daughter said it was funny, not scary one bit.  While on the other hand, her friend said it was frightening.  Both kids seem to have had a good time.  Will I take them to the 13th Floor next year.....probablly not!!!

writing assignment#1

I selected this photo because it brought a feeling of foreboding within me.  While on my way to campus, I stopped in the middle of the road to snap this shot.  Across the horizon, I could see that a storm was "a brewing".  The skyline presented a bit of contrast.  On one side you can still see the bright sunshine.  While adjacent to all this brightness you can see the darken skies.  The  separation between day and night is some what like an imaginary horizontal line in the photo.   The trees add to the scenic view of the horizon.  Overrall the photo represents the aged old battle of good and evil.  Since the light is more massive than the darkness, you also may get the feeling that the sun will continue to shine and the dark clouds will not let loose all of what they are carrying.  The photo also is an example of the wonders of Mother Nature!

critique#2 Caitiesphotobook

photo1:  I like the way the red pops out at you.

photo2: ...the yellow flower brings life to the dry landscape
photo3:  ...the black hwy leads my eyes across the pic..the green trees nicely frames the backdrop of the pic...the red spoon looks out of place
 photo4: the yellow flower somewhat balances the pic..the blurriness of the leaf on the left takes away from the balance of the total pic
photo5: I like this angle...the red sign against the blue and white sky...it makes the sign appear bigger than what it seems
photo6:  open frame shot--the lavender flower and green leaves...you can even see drops of water on the petals....you can see mutiple lines thru out the pic
photo7:  not much color
photo8:  i like how the focus is clear on the cig packet only and the buildings are kept out of focus
photo9: balanced pic since the leaves appear to frame the side of the pics
photo10: the dog appears bigger than what it is actually...the yellow flower is a nice contrast against the landscape..i like how she captured the sun rays going across the dogs ears
