Mr. Ronald MacDonald smiles at one too many people in the small town of Winchestertinsonville Ohio.He came here with the attempt to motivate the people of Winchestertinsonville to come to MacDonald's. Obviously his mission failed..(looks like were going to burger king.)



The graduating class of 2005 gets a very "wet" gift from their fellow peers. some of the non graduating seniors wanted to send the others to a water park as a going away present. but due to budget cuts this was all the could afford.

repetition

The Blues
Performers rehearse for the opening ceremony of the 6th National City Games in Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei province. The sporting meet will begin on Oct. 25 in Wuhan.

this photo shows repetition because the sheets are the same size and there is the same amount of people holding each side of the sheet. the gaps around the material draw your eyes to the middle.

Bike-a-paloozza
Cyclists hold up their bicycles during a 'Critical Mass' demonstration on the European Car Free Day in Budapest, Hungary.
this photo shows repetition because its a picture with a bunch of the same size and shape bike tires. on ht bottom middle there is a gap and that gap draws your eye to the middle.


Doe-Eyed
Lisa Simpson appears on television screens on a new Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 after its inaugural passenger flight from Singapore to Sydney, Australia.

this photo shows repetition in the way that its just a bunch of the same shapes. all the t.v.s in the middle have the same thing on, and the color draws your eyes to the middle.

Sugar Hill

A. What skills in addition to photography did Melanie Burford utilize to produce this slideshow?
she recorded people talking, and singing with a tape recorder for the slide show so that the pictures would more clearly tell a story.

B. What was the effect (added power or meaning) of the multimedia effects of the slideshow.
the singing in the background really gave the pictures meaning. what she was saying was so sad and..real. that when you were looking at the pictures you weren't just sitting at your computer looking at someone else's life you were really in that room, or in that house with them.it really made you feel for them.and the way that she had the pastor talking in between her singing it really brought the pictures to life.
