Near and far assignment

The near and far assignment was pretty rad. i liked how people used different angles to get tremendous shots. The only problem i faced with this was i wanted to shoot on the water and it was about 20 degrees and freezing but im pretty happy on my work.A lot of people did different things and i think that what made this assignment fun to me. The challenge was fun and the shots were good.

Hand Held Essay And Romania And The Romanian Orphans Today

A few days ago we watched a movie called hand held and it was about a photographer from mass who was invited to Romania and was set to try and take pictures of the city and show that everything was not okay. He ended up finding out that the children were not even remotely safe. The nurses are giving 2 needles a year and are not equipped with the proper knowledge of how to treat babies and how to treat them with the proper care that they need. Mike Carrol a Photographer from Massachusetts was invited on a trip of a life time to Romania where little did he know his life would be changed forever. Romania today is still a povertable country and they are still under the map as so called by a few people who visit the country annually. Around 700 to 900 children are being adopted from Romania out of the 1200 to 1400 available for adoption. After watching the movie and it being filmed about 15 to 20 years ago i figured that by now the country would be blooming with things and children and that they would be out of poverty but it turns out that things only got a little better but hopes are still high and people are whats going to make this change that is needed for this country. When you are asked what country's do you think are in poverty most people focus on Africa and around there witch is true but little do the know that places like Romania and little places around Europe are just as bad. Mike Carroll is a very skilled photographer. The way he captures the sorrow and cadged feelings of these orphans is tremendous and its photos like this that made America think and changed Romania tremendously  its a brutal aspect in life but the human mind doesn't think much about anything until the eye itself recognizes the horror and fear of an image, then the mind starts to think ''okay this is not write and something needs to happen and something needs to change''. So who knows what could of happened if Mike was never brought over as the first photographer to take photos in Romania.
 These images are the most stunning pictures to me. They show how every kid is looking and wanting something but can not have it. all they really wanted was to be held and shown that they do mean something to someone. And these pictures show it well.
