For this new blog on " The Art of Journalism" I thought it be cool to incorporate some photos of places I have recently traveled too. I backpacked through South America for a month in March, 2013. I wanted to look through the eyes of someone else's lens and see if our visions and experiences matched up.

* The use of Shadows - The shadows in this picture actually brightens up the white stone temples. they also show a depth as it follows a line to the back of the photo, that leads your eyes further into the picture. also if you notice the statue in the photo to the left of the woman touching the dog. The shadow to the left of the dog actually makes it look like there is a 3rd object. I see the shadow of the statue as the woman at a younger age.
* The use of lines - The photo here has great lines and is broken up into 3rd's very well. The far being the 1st section draws your attention to the statue and is bright, then your eye moves to the right and takes on a whole new photo itself, using little light and the lines lead you back into the photo. The angle of this photo makes your eyes see and scan the entire photo.
* Is the image black and white or color - The photo here was shot in black and white. I think the black and white shot was a great choice. The black makes the white tombs stand out and show depth by the lines that follow them down the row.
This picture is of Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires, Argentina. All the tombs are above ground and the architecture is some of the most amazing and beautiful things I have ever seen. I choose this picture to see this place I visited through the eyes of another.

* Subjects Expression - The subject in this photo is as relaxed as can be. They are unaware of being photographed so the photo here has no staging involved. The picture is as real of life as can be.
* Contrast Appropriate - The contrast in this photo is amazing. The colors of the building on the right is so bright and full of life and as your eyes move to the left of the photo is gets very dark with shadows which in turn pushes your eyes back onto the right side seeing the bright colorful buildings.
* Rule of Thirds - I think the rule of thirds came into the picture great and I see 3 photos in this one. The dark shadows and patterns formed on the ground by the lighting also is another great piece to this photo.
This photo is in a neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina called, "la Boca". This photo above is NOT photo shopped. The buildings and sidewalks are all painted like this. The section of town is filled with bright colors and life. Walking through the streets here is like walking through art. Seeing this photo just brings instant happiness with all its bright colors.

* Keep it simple - This picture is very simple because it is taken of a piece of art already prepared. Its a simple photo of some stairs painted like piano keys, and other art around it. I feel in this photo the photographer is there to create a frame around the picture that the painter painted.
* Obvious main subject - In this photo it is quite obvious the reason for this photo was to show the stairs. It has been centered to make it the main focal point. The photo has room around the edges so the focus point does not seem crowded.
* Quality of light - The quality of light in this photo is very well. It is evident of good lighting by how well you can see the detail not only on the stairs but the other art work surrounding the main point of the photo.
I love this picture. I choose to share this one, because it catches my eye on its creativity. It gets my attention not only because of the bright white stairs but because the stairs are made to look like piano keys and I love music so it attacked my emotions in a few different ways.
