5. I not really a fan of this photographer because how she sometimes focuses on the dark side and it just gives off a weary, and dark mood.
Video 2
1. Travis Haughton
2. Activities
3. A lot if kids, off focus pictures, pictures with signs
4. Pictures that did not look staged, different levels of background
5. I think some pictures were tight but i liked the creativity on some of the pictures.
Video 3
1. Nick Adams
2. Journalism / story.

3.
a. briefly describe the process the judges went through in deciding the winner.
1. They looked at the strengths and the weaknesses of the portfolios and eliminated the bad ones. They picked Dustin's portfolio because he had no bad pictures and had skill and used his skills while taking and editing his pictures.

1. I agree with the judges on the base ball picture with the 3 holes showing a subject each. I agree that the picture was not very strong and needed more action. ( portfolio #2)
2. Assuming "1" is the best picture, I disagree with the sumo wrestler getting 1st on the 4th video. I thought the baseball player under the rainbow showed great lighting from the yellow sky to the subject being a silhouette.

The sumo wrestler picture was great with the originality and the black and white, but I think the Baseball player under the rainbow should've gotten first.
