Repetition

Hands Up
(Members of an international religious movement called the White Brotherhood perform a ritual dance known as Paneurhythmy near Babreka lake, in Bulgaria.)

The repetition in the picture is all the men in the picture wearing white and having their hands in the air.

Solidarity
Women from a church choir sit on benches in Goma, Congo atop lava flow from a 2002 eruption.

The repetition in this picture is the group of ladies wearing their dresses and hats thing and how their all bunched together with the same colors on.

Beat the Heat
(Residents crowd a swimming pool to escape the heat during a warm spell that hit at least 13 provinces in China. )
The repetition in this picture are the different but same colors back to back and all the people all bunched together.

The most powerful picture to me is the one when hes leaving and his brother and dad are hugging him and crying and the car is there waiting for him so he can go get registered. Its powerful because it shows how his family is going to miss him and hes going away to the army, how its hurting the family.? The capture of the picture is very strong because it focuses on him and his brother and dad. I think the sequence of "Signing Up"  is that like it shows how he when him and his dad first talks about and then continues with how he lives and how his life was before he went..

2.

It is in present tense.

It gives a fuller and more deeper felling to the photo now that you know whats really going on in the picture.

3.

1. Enjoying a friendly game of arm wrestling, while others enjoy the game too. Loving the little time that they get off.

2. Talking on the phone as he rest, he holds a gun for his safety, living in fear.

3. Appreciating his time home;  he sits and holding his girlfriends' hand.

Funny captions

 

Today George got a call that there was a wild fire in the forest but all day today he didnt want to do anything but chill out so while on the job he thought to himself, "Nobodys looking how bout I take a break and still try to take the fire out, what a great idea!" 

So today while driving down the road I seen a sign that said, "CAUTION WATER IN ROAD DURING RAIN" so I thought to myself what a great caution, because I wouldnt had noticed that there was water all over the road. What wouldve happened if I didnt see the sign? "..."

 Chris' Donuts Fell And Not Knowing Where He Was Going He Stuck His Head Through The Chairs Hole, At least He Had A Snake While The Nurses And Janitor Sawed The Chair..

A. Luis Sinco used emotions in the photography the way and what he was talking about in the video. You can hear him say what he was feeling and see that in the pictures he was really changed and messed up from the war in Iraq and when he got back and got married didn't know if that was the right thing to do. Its really showing you and hoping you feel the emotion about him wanting to commit suicide and go crazy. And the text helps you know about whats happening and what hes going to do and already done.

B. When the blackout screen comes up it gives you of a more deeper part is going to come and the meaning is going to have a bigger effect.

3. 

A.  The powerfullest image in the slide show would have to be the one when he is laying on the bed and you see his reflection in the mirror and on the T.V. it says " Iraq : A Week At War" . To me this one is saying that like its not a big impact on anybody or the soldiers and that the reporters are like saying that everything is alright trying to make the situation a good thing but the truth is that nothings okay with him since hes been home from the war.

B. The pictures of him and his wife are the most powerful to me because its showing that nothings going right between them and that they argue a lot and don't have a good marriage because hes been a different person since hes been back from war.

C.  I feel that the song matched the emotion and tone of his voice, so it made each picture powerful. 

D. They all fit together and flow good together because his words, the things he was saying matched together as if it was a time line.

The University of Texas at Arlington

 This photo is very inspiring because the clear focus of the picture is the boy and the book, while the background is unfocused. The boys body emotion and facial expression shows a lot of emotion.

The Story.

 Its Telling A Story By He Is Trying To Make Sure Shes Okay And Wants To Help Her Because She Was Crying. I Think The Story Is Somebody Wanting To Help Another Person Making Sure That Everything Is Okay(:

Emotion Or Action.

This Shows Emotion Because It Shows That Shes So Focused On What She Wants To Get Done And Is Not Sure On Something. I Think The Story Is That Shes A Hard Working Person And Is Determined To Finish Her Work.
