Touching People

1. What do you think about this project and photo essay?
I think it's cool, but it's kinda weird to touch strangers

2. What would you do if someone approached you with a camera and asked you to participate in a photo shoot and then asked you to touch a stranger? I'd probably do it lol.

3. Think of an unusual photo shoot similar to this one that you think would be fun to go and shoot..
I think something like high-fiving random people or hugging random people.

4. Finally, tell me what you thought of the photography, did the photographer think about the rules of photography that you know about? What types of photos did he take?He used a lot of simplicity in his photos.  I feel like If he would of used different angles in the pictures they would of been a whole  lot better.

Japan Earthquake

 This is really scary to know an earthquake did this, killed so many people, destroyed so many  things, people lost jobs, got contaminated with nuclear "stuff" radiation.

I'd say there's balance, and it stood clear of mergers.

 This is really sad, it makes you think how it would feel to lose your home or family members in such a tragic way, lose memories and all.
Rule of thirds, balance.

People's memories, treasures, beloved things all gone.
so fast, so many died, so many mourn for those who did.
balance, rule of thirds, simplicity.
