New Years in Pictures



this was my favourite picture because it shows how much the people are excited
and also the balloons look cool..... :)

the event is of people freeing balloons to celebrate the New Years
at Tokyo's Zojoji temple on Jan.1, 2011

the image documents the event by capturing the moment when the poeple let go of their balloons
and wish their new year's wishes
(and the people at the bottom taking pictures look really excited)

the subject is obviously the balloons that are set free

the subject is emphasized by repetition and also framing with the people on the bottom
the people on the bottom makes the balloons stand out :)

my new year's resolutions :
1. get fit
2. get successful academically
3. be a responsible person





Year in Photos





this picture was my favourite because it makes you take another look at the picture,
including the trees on the back

the event was a volcanic erruption in Muntilan, central Java, Indonesia
from Mount Merapi
the farmer is walking through the ash-covered cornfield
(Nov.8th, 2010)

the image perfectly documents the event because it shows how the crops were ruined by the erruption
and the farmer's devastated state
the palm trees in the back also shows the serious situation

the subject is the farmer, but I think that the subject is more of the crops
because that's the most important aspect of the people's lives

repitiion plays a huge role in the picture, and also the emphisis on the subject(farmer)
