3. Genesee, CO

4. Private

5. $100,000

6. It was not built for a certain reason. It has appeared in movies and TV shows, though.

Turning Torso, Sweden

1. Santiago Calatrava

2. August 2005

3. Malmö, Sweden

4. There are offices and apartments inside the building.

5. I could not find information on how much it costed to build.

6. It was built to enhance and enlarge a public area.

7. I picked this building because it is very unique in the way that it is a curved and twirling building. I like how it has many floors and it is big, but doesn't take up a lot of space because it is skinny. 

The Crooked House, Poland

7. I chose this building because it looks kind of like a house you would find at Disneyland, but at the same time it is pretty modern colored and styled. I like its uniqueness. 

Action Photos

Sensory Overload

1. I agree with this statement because it is true that we surround ourselves with the things we own in our personal lives and our personal environments wouldn't be the same without it. As a photographer I feel that taking pictures of the objects we surround ourselves with is just as important as taking photos of the earth.
2. As I looked through the images, I didn't really find an interest from a photography standpoint. I don't think I would want to take pictures of these things.
3. It would most likely be super exciting and fun for a child to have a parent that worked at one of these places.
4. My favorite photo out of these was the one of all the flowers. It is a pretty photo.
