Post Apocalypse Peer Critique

Garrett McCafferty: I like the plain, bleak color of the sky juxtaposed with the dirty, busy loading docks underneath. I also like the small pop of color on the front of the train, and the way the blur in the background makes it look like the train is moving, even when I know it is standing still.

Jackson Miles: I thoroughly enjoy how the house glowing make it look almost as if a meteor has landed in the field. It is exactly what I would picture in some kind of zombie movie, and I almost have a feeling of fear looking at it, and I usually enjoy any photograph that evokes some kind of emotion within me.

Maria Sahlani: I like how symmetrical this picture is. I like the patterns and the colors that come out in the picture due to the simplicity and light color in the background. It looks like a complicated shot, even though I also see the simplicity within it.

Claire Strobach: I love how colorful this photo is, even though I know this is a photo that resembles a sort of apocalypse. I feel almost as if these canister are weapons or something as a way to begin an apocalypse. The colors juxtapose the feeling it gives me, which makes me think.

Elvis Yang: I like the colors and patterns found and exemplified on the building. I also like how much the sky stands out, and the clouds look three-dimensional in a sense. The angle of the shot adds another dimension to the way the building is viewed. Again the color of the photo juxtaposes the apocalyptic feel the photo gives out.

Post Apocalypse - Apocalypse Now

Apocalypse - (n) an event involving destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale

This portfolio of images examines the items of a man who passed away, all stuffed in an abandoned barn. My photographs show the little items, abandoned together in apocalyptic state within this barn. I paid close attention to the items I was photographing, and my editing to make them look apocalyptic in nature. These images are intended to show beauty in this abandoned barn, no matter how dull the beauty may seem. It opened up a new world post apocalypse of this barn post-man's death.

Motion Blur Critique

Garrett McCafferty: There is an element of this picture that looks extremely smooth, and the colors compliment each other, making this photography beautiful to me.

Gillian Morrissey: I enjoyed the sharpness of this image, being in black and white. I also enjoy the reflection in the window, adding another dimension to the photograph.

Jackie Reyes: This image is extremely creepy, and in turn, its really enjoyable. It captures the motion blur perfectly, and with that, the colors of the photo bring about the main subjects of the photograph.

Claire Strobach: I love how the light movement turns this dreary, Ohio winter  into a beautifully lit day. It adds warmth  and brightness to the picture that could have been otherwise extremely dull and boring.

Elvis Yang: There is an aspect of controlled chaos within this picture. I enjoy the colors and how they are all primaries, and in turn they compliment each other well. I also throughly enjoy the movement of the lines; it looks like madness, but if you look closer, there is a kind of pattern to them.

Motion Blur Montage - Sound of Silence

This portfolio of images expresses the beauty found in the silent motion of sound. My photographs show the beauty in the movement of different items that make sound, and in turn, a music that fills the bleak days that go by. I paid close attention to the motion of the objects that make sound, as well as the lighting, and in the case of montage, the way the photographs meshed together. These images are intended to show the movement in sound that we do not seem to see with the naked eye.
