todays theme is black so here is a black cat on Friday the 13th..
Which photographer's work do you personally prefer? Platon or Dylan McDermott? Dylan McDermott.

Where does Dylan McDermott go to take the best photos and why is it so fantastic to photograph? India because you are surrounded  by life. 

Platon says he does not think of himself as a photographer anymore.  What does he say he is? I forgot what he called it.

Both Platon and Dylan McDermott talk about today's society and how it have been "robbed" by technology. What has technology taken from us according to Platon? Do you agree with the statements they make about communication today?  Why or why not? technology is always there ready. i do agree because technology is taking up our lives.

Which photographer's work do you personally prefer? Helena Christensen or Mary Ellen Mark? Mary Ellen Mark because the pictures they showed had emotion and were powerful.

Do you think Helena Christensen's experience as a model in front of the camera had something to do with her success behind the camera? Explain. Yes because she realized she has a way with cameras. 

What did Mary Ellen Mark mean when she said, "camera companies don't want to know you anymore." Im not really sure.. 

Describe a photo you saw in the episode that you felt was an exceptional photo. The photo that stood out to me was the one of a girl in the lake & just her head is out of the water, I think Helena took it.  it stood out because it shows a girl emerging from the water.

I don't know what this is or why its the theme. but here ya go.

Do you agree with Kevin Bacon’s statement about how musicians are better photography subjects than actors?  Why?
Yes because musicians show actual emotion & actors portray fake emotions.

Which photographer’s work did you enjoy more?  Bob Gruen or Kevin Bacon?  Why?  What stands out to you? Bob Gruen because he waits for a moment to take the photo & i tend to do that also.

Describe a photo you saw in the episode that you felt was an exceptional photo. The picture of Kevin Bacon in the window i really liked the different colors in the photo.

Why do you think Bob Gruen photographed the Clash and Green Day in the same location? Its iconic showing older bands compared to newer ones. 

Did you enjoy the episode?  Would you be interested in watching another episode in class? Yes to both.

Social issue.
This issue means a lot to me, because right now my dad & I aren't really on good terms, because of issues between my parents.
My views on this social issue is that a father & daughter should have a good relationship & shouldn't have to beg for it, it should just be there.
