This is an example of spacial relations. The girls hand looks as if it is supporting the minneapolis skyline. When really, the girl is standing on a bridge at Lake Harriet and the buildings in her hand are miles away.

This picture is an example of framing. It was taken at the sculpture gardens in Minneapolis. The angle of this picture makes the sculpture frame the basilica within the dark wood.

This is an example of rule of thirds and points of power. The flower captured in this picture is perfectly positioned on the lower left hand point of power.

This is an example of leading lines.

This picture was taken near the Sculpture Gardens in Minneapolis and it is an example of the rule of thirds. The part of the graphiti that is tinted red takes up about 1/3 of the picture and the area of the picture shaded blue fills in the rest of the 2/3

2) The photographer is Mark Cohen

3) The photo was taken in 1977

4) The reason why I like this photograph is because it captures the innocence, imagination, and joy that fill all children of all generations, eras, and time. I like the dimmer kind of lighted picture and I although there is much contrast in color and texture, somehow it all flows together. But what really makes this picture worth talking about to me is the amazing expression on the little ninja's face. How could you not want to cheer for him in a match?

5) I believe that natural light was used to capture this photo. I also believe that high contrast lighting was used to capture this.

6) The photographer does a wonderful job of placing the emphasis on the Karate Kid. He does this by contrasting the boys dark colored clothing against the light pavement and placing his head almost exactly at the upper left hand point of power.

7) I feel that the photographer of this photo was trying to capture the lively, energetic, and antsy spirit that lies within every child and turn it into still life. That Mark Cohen was capturing the imaginary stories that children live out on their way to Church, School, Grandma Patty's house, the Doctors office, their neighbors Benny's house. He took this picture for the future. He took this photograph so that when Karate Kid grew up and felt trapped in a job he didn't like, a town where he was misunderstood, or a relationship that was holding him back, he could remember that no matter how small or out of place he feels that there will always be that Karate Kid in him. A character that can take on the world.

8) The most beautiful thing about this photograph is the fact that it is totally up for interpretation. The viewer can make up whatever story they want from it. That, no matter what, the viewers see the spunk, energy, and character that fill every inch of that little boys being. Mark Cohen definitely made this picture say a million words.

1) I found this photo on google images

2) The photographer's name is Kelley Ryden

3)This particular photograph was taken in 2008

4) What I like about this photograph is the contrast of the baby's soft skin and the bumpy carpet of material it lays on. I also like the way that there is enough value contrast to bring out every crack in the baby's skin, every crease on his little eyelids, and every strand of hair on his ripe little head. And without trying to state the obvious, the smirk that this little boy wheres on his pure, flawless, brand new face is undeniably one of the most wonderful images we as humans can see. An expression that genuine and wonderous has the power to change a bad day to a day well worth the trouble.

5) The kind of lighting that was used for this photograph was natural lighting that I would imagine to be fairly bright due to the high contrast.

6) The photographer put the emphasis on the newborns face by keeping the baby's surroundings completely simple and plain. She also placed the baby's head in 2/3 of the picture on the right side of the frame. She also placed the baby's arms in the bottom third of the picture. All of this awareness of the space in the frame made this a photograph instead of just a snap shot.

7) Due to the purity, simplicity, and flawlessness of this picture, there needs no explanation of why it is something one would appreciate. It displays the innocence that each child is born with. It captures the beauty of raw emotion. It shows the delicacy of the future generations. And ultimately, this picture does an incredible job of motivating all people to appreciate everyday moments; to stop and admire the small moments of pleasure in each day. After all, you're only your current age once.
