Artistic Review

           All of our assignments where posted in our teachers blog, Mr. Farley. This was a great idea, we actually know where to go when we don't know what to do instead of asking him. He has great pictures in his blog. You can really see that he actually studied to be a photographer because he's images are really great and they all have a meaning. Every single picture has something that grabs the viewers attention. Mr. Farley's interest is more about healing and recovery than tragedy. That's why he tries to teach others to avoid tragedy. To me this is something great to teach people about and what's best is that he does it through his photos.
             The reason for this review is because we are actually able to see why these photos are taken and we can notice that most of them capture happiness, anxiety, anger, confidence, hope, and joy. These pictures actually show what the people taking the pictures feel. Through this pictures im actually able to know Mr. Farley better and actually know what he likes and what he looks for when taking a picture. What it's really great about the picture he takes is that he actually relates to them, therefore he can actually get the real meaning behind the picture and not just take a plain and simple photo. I think that what he does is impressive because that's what's made him the photographer he is now. 
           In his blog we are able to see wedding picture which express love and happiness and when you look at the pictures you can actually see it. Also women playing roller derby and you can actually see their anxiety and that there worried. Another thing is the vans warped tour and you can see happiness as well in the artist and the fans. In the epilepsy foundation you can actually see that there's hope that there will actually be progress and recovery. Lastly, you can see a family holiday's portrait and you can see happiness and joy in them. I can actually say that i really loved these photos because they grabbed my attention and i was able to see the meaning of them. I have also learned from these photos a lot and have learned some techniques to take amazing pictures and make me a better photographer.
