The obvious movements of the people and the way the camera focuses on them, yet blurs them slightly are used repeatedly to create a sporty feeling associated with the scene.

This photo shows variety. First of all, there's a lot of blending with colors to make the photo more interesting. The circle in the middle immediately catches the viewer's attention. The eye moves around the circle and sees the shape of the flower in the middle and follows its petals around the circle. The musical notes are repeated in the lower left quadrant of the circle and the staff lines lead back to the center of the circle and flower. The circular shape is repeated at the bottom in the yin-yang circle. Outside of the circle, the green at the top leads to the Great Wall of china, which then leads the eye to all the incredible infrastructure on the left side.

Lens Photo - Variety

Our group chose this photo from Lens as the best one that used the variety principle of design in the slideshow.

1. It has balance with the two people in the foreground balanced out by the four in the background.
2. There's repetition in both the two people with flutes in the foreground and the people enjoying the music in the background.
3. There's movement as well. The eye is drawn to the drummer and the flautist playing in the foreground. The angle of the girl's flute leads the eye to the people in the back, and from them you look at the people along the side of the photo.
4. The photo also has rhythm. You can see the movement in the photo in the stance of the musicians and the swaying of the people in the background.

Movie Monday Half Past Autumn Part 3 and 4

1. Success, to me, is having a fulfilling job, preferably in the medical or biomedical industries, my intelligence, a healthy lifestyle, and enough money to live comfortably while taking occasional vacations. 
2. Due to my "dream" job, I've given up a lot of social life. I don't have a choice other than work as hard as I can and learn everything I need to know. I also need to manage my time well since I have other extra-curriculars in addition to school, so I don't have much free time.
3. Parks gave up social life as well, needing quiet and solitude in order to develop his skill and talent in visual arts. Because of his dedication to his job, he lost Elizabeth as a wife. 
4. Genevieve's stepfather was Ambassador V.K. Wellington Koo, who was one of the founders of the United Nations. 
5. Parks was given $10K in advance for his first book. He turned down offers of $5K and $7.5K.
6. Muhammad offered Parks half a million dollars to write and produce a book and movie on the black Muslim movement. 
7. He refused because he wanted to remain impartial to his supporters and sponsors. 
8. His choice of weapons: photography, writing, and music. 
9. Shaft was a black superhero who wasn't afraid of anything and inspired a generation of young black people.
10. The Learning Tree was extremely significant because it was the first Hollywood picture written and directed by a black man. Later, it was preserved in the US National Film Industry by the Library of Congress as being historically, culturally, and aesthetically significant.
11. Genevieve Young asked for a divorce because his lifestyle was too much for her with its lack of a schedule and spontaneity. 
12. "12 Years a Slave" told a similar story to Solomon Northrup's "Odyssey". 
13. Gordon Parks Jr. was an incredible filmmaker who debuted with "Superfly".
14. My favorite Gordon Parks photo is Normal Fontelle Sr. taken in Harlem, New York in 1967 because of the incredible sadness in his expression, yet his display of his dignity in the face of such oppression. 
15. I will remember Gordon Parks as an extremely influential, non-violent figure who stood as a figurehead for the sadly underrepresented, misrepresented black population. In a way, his work was his protest against the stigma against African Americans.

Here, the structure of the lock is sharply emphasized against a fairly plane and simple background. The contrast was decreased to decrease the shadow originally covering the face of the lock.

The shape of the leaf is literally, simple (the name of the shape is "simple"). It's a slightly elliptical shape encompassing the veins.
