Movement.

I chose this photo because it show motion, but not just any motion, the motion of a man spinning on his head. A shot I've never seen in my life. Ray Demski photographs a lot of action sports, but he started with break dancing. This shows motion using blur. Movement in this photo is very important because break dancing involves a lot of movement. I would like to do a set of movement photos, mostly with action sports, like Demski does.

Artist: Joel Satore
Sky Blue Poison Frog

I chose this picture because it shows how colorful nature can be, and how those colors can be a warning to predators, and other threats. Sometimes the most beautiful and colorful animals are the most dangerous. Never judge a book, or a frog, by it's cover.
The colors in this photo work really well together, the black makes sure the eye is drawn to the color, which draws the eye all around the page to the bright yellow. This combination of colors is my personal favorite (bright yellow and bright blue).
Not only does the photo have interesting color, but Joel Satore uses a very interesting angle to capture the bright blue underside of the frog. The frog is also a very interesting composition when looking at the biodiversity set as a whole. It accompanies rare colorful birds, endangered animals, a few other species of frogs, crazy insects, and some very interesting mammals.

AMURICA!

Reflection

Critical Response

Both images capture motion.

Eadweard Muybridge:

Motion is shown with reference points, which is the previous frame.

The purpose is to show motion. Edweard Muybridge was a pioneer in the field of motion pictures.

Marcel Duchamp:

Motion is showed with time lapse. Each image of him is after the one before it. It also uses a reference point, which is the stairs.

I believe the purpose of the second photo is to relate to Marcel Duchamp's studies in kinetic art and studies of movement.
