7. I picked this structure because it seemed super unique and I immediately wanted to learn more. The name itself was kinda cool, so I thought I'd check it out. I really loved the bright colors and nature feel of it. The architecture was so one of a kind and I couldn't not share it on my blog.

3. Bilbao, Northern Spain

4. Open to the public

5. It costed 89 million dollars to build

6. It would be a good income source

7. I picked this building because it looked so cool and it deemed difficult to photograph. It almost has a mind of it's own, that's what it looks like to me at least. It just kind of spirals put of control in a totally cool way.

7. I picked this particular architecture because it sounded really unique, like a really cool movie. Once I looked it up I knew I had to do it because it looked like it was straight out of a science- fiction cartoon.

Sensory Overload Warm Up

1. I think this quote is sharing how humans are defined by the smaller things we buy, not only architecture. I agree with what Seymour was saying. As an aspiring photographer, this project makes me feel more interested to see what else the world contains that could be really awesome to shoot.
2. I would love to go and get some cool shots at Commodity City, it seems like so much to take in and I'd love to be given the opportunity to capture those moments.
3. I think growing up with your parents working at some of these booths would be really cool and would really open up a child's eyes to the world and what's out there for them to experience, create or do.
4. My favorite photo was the one capturing the booth with all of the plates and baskets. I really liked how he got the little girl in there because it reminds me of my childhood and how my grandma would give me little picnic sets with plates like those. The colors are super bright and happy, giving off a fantastic, fun vibe.

Action/Sports/Motion PPT Warm Up Answers

Slide 1: The photo is significant to sports because it captures the football tradition to pour a bucket of a drink, such as Gatorade, onto the coach after a win.
Slide 2: The shutter speed has to be fast in order to capture the image quick enough.
Slide 3: Because it's tradition, the moment was at least expected, but the shot wasn't planned, however it could've been a key moment if it was a big game.
Slide 4: There was most likely a special lens used to capture this shot, however some present techniques being used were shutter speed and motion stopping.
