Extra Credit For Final

1. The man who was killed was named Ki Suk Han, and he was trying to calm someone who was panicking. The man who Ki Suk Han was trying to calm down pushed him into the tracks. Ki Suk Han was not able to get out by himself. The photographer claims that he tried to help him get out, but was not strong enough. Since he is a freelance photographer for the New York Post. His story is that he busted out his camera so that he could try, and get the conductors attention with the flash of his camera. He claims that the train just couldn't stop fast enough. 
2. He Says that he was desperately trying to get the conductor to stop with his flash, and running around to cause him to stop. 
3. If he was doing it for the right reasons then it's better, but that doesn't change how messed up it is. 
4. I believe that if he is being honest, and actually was taking pictures with the flash for the right reasons. Then I think it was more appropriate. It's certainly better than imagining a man trying to escape death and being photographed as he was dying.
5. I don't think those photos should have ever been seen by the public. They definitely should not have been the cover, because its just morally wrong. They should have never even put it in the magazine. 
6. The sad truth is that people will do almost anything for a story, so its probably more important to get the photo to  a photojournalist. 
7. I believe as photographer he should have kept his name out of it, and totally separated himself from the situation. That doesn't mean he shouldn't have helped still, but he should have not taken the pictures. 
8. If he could have helped that poor man in the tracks, just as a normal person, he should have done the most to his capability. Then again he should have kept his lenses put away!
9. The other photographers did not believe him one bit it seems. Which shocks me, because those are like his people in a way. They still don't believe that the did his best, and they are surprised of his actions.

My Favorite Picture

I looked at the oldest things on this planet, which mostly consists of nature things. By nature things I mean trees, forests, and rocks. It also includes information about the author, and her decade long adventure to photograph these amazing relics.

1. I picked this photo because I really love how the branches seem to be reaching out at me. 
2. I believe they could have used Cropping to not distract away from the center of the thick tree.
3. Rachel Sussman took these pictures.

My Favorite Picture

This website mostly consists of pictures of staircases, and how their spiral beauty is portrayed by the photographer. The different ways the stairs are shaped is particularly interesting, because I feel like the less square stairs are more elegant. 

1. I choose this picture because the yellow and off white colors look really vintage.

2. I would say that this staircase picture follows the rules of Depth in a way, because the stairs get smaller as they get farther away.

3. Christian Richter took these photos of the stairs.

GQ
"The World's 50 Greatest Living Athletes," November 2017

Fred Woodward, Designer
Pari Dukovic, Photographer

"When the World's Greatest Living Athlete is also an off-the-court phenom in business, in movies, and increasingly in politics, the time allotted for a photo shoot is limited (it was 45-minutes from the frame to the last). But photographer Pari Dukovic nevertheless captured LeBron James in a timeless, almost deified image that shows the strength, fierceness, and regal nature of GQ’s November cover subject. One worthy of blowing up and framing like a piece of art (which we did)."

If I had to critique this picture I would say that, even though the intention of this picture is to show that he is the king, he could have smiled. I feel like the picture needs to be less dark and needs to have more colors than just grey, white, and gold. He is furrowing his brows, and it gave him forehead wrinkles. They could have made his tattoos merge into the words, because that also looks slightly odd. They could have put a different person entirely in the cover too, but they choose LeBron because he's the most popular. That isn't necessarily true though, because Curry is just as if not more popular than LeBron. 

I STILL LOVE HIM THOUGH!!!!!!!
