Warm Up - Sensory Overload

1. I think that the statement shares a valid point and I agree with it. As an aspiring photographer this makes me feel that photographers should take more pictures of the environment to show how important it is.
2. When I saw the images, it made me want to visit that place and take pictures to show how people are only surrounding themselves with materialistic things instead of their environment outside.
3. I would find that it would be interesting and fun to be able to play with all the toys but would probably get tired of being indoors all day.
4.  My favorite photo is the one with all the stuffed animals because there is a lot of color and it caught my eye.

Warm Up - iPhone Photos

1. Although all the pictures were amazing, I really enjoyed the 5th picture from the top. I love the angle it was taken and how all the white leading lines stand out. Also, I think that making the image black and white made the picture more interesting. This picture defiantly caught my eye.
2. No, these images look like they were taken on professional cameras not iPhones.
3. The apps they used probably enhanced their image.
4. 2 tips I would use for my own photography would be to try different perspectives and to create depth.
