Jersey Shore


Beach Commet

This is another David Fokos photograph. It struck me because it reminded me of a picture I took when I was at the Jersey Shore. I really like how there is just one single item in a large body of sand, yet it is trailing behind. I also think that the lighting of the photograph is perfect, as the rock has a shadow to the left. I would say my favorite part of the photo though, is the horizon because of how straight it is, yet it looks like it has a lot of different shadows and shades going on.

David Fokos

What I really appreciate about David Fokos photopraphy is the tranquility of it. The clouds in the sky make it seem almost like a dream. There are many elements of the composition that make the picture as well. First, it always makes a very powerful photograph when there is a leading line from the beginning of the photo, going outwards to the end. Also the repetition of the dock makes it very interesting. Finally I really like how there are two fences framing the picture on each side, and they are a darker color making the center alluminate more.

World Trade Center

I really wanted to give credit to this photograph, especially after the historical event that has taken place. I know that all pictures taken during the World Trade Center are very emotioinal, and some very saddening. Yet this picture gives hope to citizens. The rubble all over the place gives note of the tragedy, yet the flag still hanging shows how America will prevail, and can make it through anything with the help and love for our nation.
