 Architects- Antoni Guadi and Josep Maria Jujol

 Built In-1906-1912

 Location- Barcelona, Spain

It is open to the public to come and visit.

It doesn't say how much it cost to build.

It was built for a married couple who were very wealthy.

I chose this building because I have never heard of it. I was interested to see what it looked like, and why someone decided to build it. Another reason is because Barcelona is a very pretty city, so I expected to see a very good or interesting building.

Architect- Piet Blom

Location- Rotterdam, Netherlands

Built In- 1974

People live in the houses so you can't go in, but people often look at them outside so the residents are disturbed a lot.

You can rent a house for $178 a night.

It was built for people to live in, not necessarily for tourists.

I chose these buildings because when I saw cube houses I knew I wanted to see what it was. Also I wanted to see if people lived in these houses or if they had just become tourist attractions. I'm glad I decided to look at this houses, because they sure are very interesting.

Architect- Santiago Calatrava

Built In- February 14, 2001

Location- Lilla Varsgatan, Sweden

It is only open to public in the summer, because it is a residential building.

There is no information on how much it cost to build.

It was built as a residential building for people to rent and live in.

I chose this building because it has an interesting name. It is also located in Sweden, and I don't know many things about Sweden, so I was interested. Another reason was because it seemed more interesting than the other options that were given.

Architect-Tom Wright

Built In- December, 1999

Location- United Arab Emirates

It is open to public, because it is a hotel

It costed $650 million to build

It was built for people stay in, because it is a hotel where people would go on vacation or something.

I chose this building because I know that Dubai is a very rich place. Therefore, I knew that this was going to be a very interesting looking building, and it is. I also knew how Dubai has some of the tallest buildings, so I was looking forward to seeing a very tall building.

Architect- Nicholas Grimshaw

Built In- 1998

Location- Bodelva, United Kingdom

It is open to the public 

It costed 37.5 million euros to build

It was built as a tourist attraction, for people to come with their families and have a great day out.

I chose this building because I have actually heard about it. It is a very beautiful place, and has amazing looking buildings. It is for sure one of the coolest things I have ever seen, I really hope I get to go and visit this place one day.

Sensory Overload

1. I think this statement is probably the most true thing I have heard, I agree with this statement very much. This makes me feel like I can get a photo of something representing this statement.
2. Looking through these images, I did want to go and take pictures of the very colorful rooms.
3. I think being a child of someone who worked there would be fun, I would love to go to my parents shop and just look at all the stuff and how colorful everything is, and how big of shopping place it is.
4. My favorite photo is of all the colorful balls, it's very colorful and has things I like in it.

Dispatch Issue #4 Photography

On page 7, the photo looks very dramatic. It really demonstrates that being on varsity is a big deal. The darkness makes it look like a serious photo, and a big deal, I think this is a very good photo.

1. I see a rule of balance in this photo, I also see fill the frame.
2. The main subjects are the 4 varsity players.
3. I would say the photo could be lighter, but then it wouldn't look as dramatic.
4.  I see a deep depth of field.

The next photo on page 7 is of coach Hempel, one of the football coaches. The coach looks very serious, and like he means business. This was great timing to get the look off of him.

1. I see balance in the photo because of the football player on each side of him.
2. The main subject is Coach Hempel.
3. I think the exposure is good.
4. I see shallow depth of field.

Another photo was of a varsity football player talking with an NFL player. This photo captures the NFL player giving advice to Kyle. I think this photo should have beter lighting, it's too dark.

1. I see balance in the photo, fill the frame.
2. The main subjects are Kyle Carter, and NFL player Michael Griffin.
3. The photo is too dark.
4. I see a deep depth of field.

Page 16-

The first photo I see is of a theatre rehearsal. There is a lot of mergers, it is very hard to see the main subject. I do not think this is a very good photo.

1. I don't see any rules of composition.
2. The main subjects is a group of actresses.
3. The photo is a little too dark.
4. I see shallow depth of field.

The next photo is of a teacher teaching students theatre lessons. This photo captures the teacher explaining something to the class. I like how the lighting is good and it looks very live.

1. I see rule of thirds.
2. The main subject is Cortney Hall, the teacher.
3.  The photo has good exposure.
4. I see shallow depth of field.

The last photo is of Courtney Hall having her students to an activity. This photo gets how interactive the students are and how much the teacher is getting into it. It is hard to see what is going on and who is the teacher.

1. I don't see rules of composition.
2. The main subject is Cortney Hall, the teacher.
3. The photo has good exposure.
4. I see shallow depth of field.

My favorite photo is of Kyle Carter on page 6.
This is my favorite because it shows how hard he's working and captures the NFL player giving him advice, it also has good exposure.
The most evident rules of composition in the newspaper was either rule of thirds or balance, it was even.
My least favorite photo is of the actresses rehearsing on page 12.
This is my least favorite because I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking at, the exposure isn't very good and there are a lot of mergers.
If I were a photographer I would like to a football game event, to me it would be the most interesting, and really good photos could come out of it.

Overall I would rate the photos in this issue pretty well. Almost all of them had good exposure and were following at least 2 rules of composition. The weakest part if the page about theatre, page 12, the pictures were not as good as the others.
