Jim Brandenburg
I think Jim Brandenburg only allowed himself to take one photo a day for 90 days because he challenged himself to improve his photography skills each day.
Critique on Lines Assignment
My film for my lines assignment turned out splotchy and damaged. The other pictures I have of lines turned out very distinct. They were focused, and added detail and spark to the picture.
Critique on Depth of Field
My depth of field assignment went fairly well. However, my shallow depth picture of my friend was blurry, and a little too close. My long depth picture was good, because it captured all of the details of the downtown mall.

Personally, I believe that my photos weren't very sufficient to the topic of Motion Blur and Stop Action. There was one photo that I believed turned out pretty well, but the others weren't adequate. I would change the setting that I was in, the shutterspeed, and the subject. I need to work on following the subject as it's taking action.

Description of Image
-In this image, it appears this soldier has endured great pain and sorrow through his journey of war. It seems as if he just experienced a devastating battle that impacted many people. But in this photo, he makes himself look as if he's ready for whatever darkness comes next.
List of pictures I want to take:
1. A picture of the night life of a big city, like New York, where I could capture all of the glistening lights and vehicles driving by. I would like my aperature to be high so I could capture all the light I could, since it would be nighttime, and I would like my shutterspeed to be slow, so I could get the light from the cars to turn out in long lines.
2. A portrait of someone up against a wall with graffiti on it, with one big night lamp on the side of it so it has little light. I would want the light to be hitting the right side of his/her body, so the left side would look dark and mysterious. I would want my aperture to be high, and my shutterspeed to be fast.
3. A picture of a cruise ship at sea with the sunset just setting, giving off a pink glow. I would want the sun to be on the opposite side of the ship from where I am standing, so it would be like a silhoutte. I would want shutterspeed to be fast, and my aperture to be in between high and low.
4. A picture of someone taking a shot to score a goal in soccer, with cameras flashing in the background and people's expressions to be visible and clear. I would like to take two pictures; one having the shutterspeed slow, the other one fast, and I want the aperture to be high for both.
5. A picture of a performer singing on stage with the look of a sincere passion for what they're doing. I want the spotlight shining on their face, and the microphone close to their lips with their eyes closed. I want the shutterspeed to be fast, and the aperture to be high.
6. A picture of a couple holding hands while facing each other, with the light shining behind them to make it a silhoutte. I want the background to be a field with no distractions in the background, like trees. I would want the shutterspeed to be fast, and the aperture to be high.
7. A picture of an artist painting a masterpiece with many colors and emotions in the painting. I would want paint to be all over the hands and brush, giving it a feeling of determination. I would want the shutterspeed to be fast, and the aperture to be high.
8. A picture of someone crying while looking outside through a window with raindrops on it, with the light only shining on his/her face. I would want the shutterspeed to be fast, and the aperture to be low.
9. A picture of someone breakdancing in the middle of a crowd with cheering fans. I would want the shutterspeed to be slow, and the aperture to be high.
10. A picture of an olympic swimmer just winning their final race in the meet. I would want them to be raising their head and hand high, smiling with pride, with camera flashes in the background and a medal around his/her neck. I would want the aperture to be high, and the shutterspeed to be fast.

Learning to think like an Artist:
Learning to think like an artist means: Looking at things more closely than most people do
Finding beauty in everyday things and situations
Making new connections between different things and ideas
Going beyond ordinary ways of thinking and doing things
Looking at objects in different ways in order to generate new perspectives
Taking risks and exposing yourself to possible failure
Arranging items in new and imaginative ways
Working hard and at the edge of your potential
Persisting where others may give up
Concentrating your effort and attention for long periods of time
Dreaming and fantasizing
Using old ideas to create new ones
Doing something simply because it’s interesting and personally challenging to do
Learning to search for creative aspects of life in one given picture
Risking the chance of people not taking much interest into your work
Finding ways to expand far beyond than what meets the eyes
