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.
