Sweet Victory
"Sweet Victory" comes from the song performed by Van Halen from the 1980s. These photos were taken at different places in the environment. Some of them were hard to find but I think they are effective.

Photo Essay
I chose the photo essay "Phonies! Movies Inspired by J.D. Salinger"
1.Did the photographer use staged photos, candid photos or both?
*The photograper used candid photos.
2.Color or B&W? Did it make a difference? What factors contributed to the selection of one over the other?
*Some of the photos were colored but there was one black and white one. I think it does make a difference if the color scheme was changed because the first picture looks like an old photograph of 1967 and the photographs with bright colors, it is important to the photo.
3.Find examples of good framing and composition and point them out. How close does the subject feel in the photo?
*A photo with good framing and composition is the photograph from the movie "Ordinary People" because he seems very close and is the focus point of the photograph. The one picture from "Conspiracy Theory" with Mel Gibson is another one with good framing and composition.
4.Find examples of good use of color and light. Do you see backlighting? Were the photos taken early or late in the day?
*The photo from "Taxi Driver" has backlighting to brighten up the hallways but it is hard to tell if it was taken in the morning or evening. It seems like evening though because it is dark in the door.
5.How is narration and text used to support the essay?
*The text helps to see the tribute to "The Catcher in the Rye" by showing different things from the book and explaining how they are influenced by it.
6.Do the photos in the essay stand alone or do they need to be seen as a part of the whole?
*I think that the photos in the essay can be seen as the whole because they have connections and support the book, "The Catcher in the Rye".
7.Describe your reaction to the essay. Do all photo essays illicit a reaction in the viewer?
*I was very surprised that these had been influence by the book that we are reading in Miss Wilson's class. I like the essay because it is interesting and they are good photo's that tell a story. I think that photo essays illicit a reation in the viewer because it gives strong emotions and tells a story.
