The flower picture is my photo that I took during class. I chose it because I love color. Outside that day was pretty gloomy day so I wanted to find something that would show a brighter side to the day. I chose to make the flower take up most of the picture so that you could not see the grayness of the sky.
This photo of the android phone open to a bible app in front of a Bible is a photo that I created to illustrate my topic of faith and technology. I chose to take the picture at this angle to be able to see more of the text in the Bible even though you cannot read it. It represents the text that is available in the Bible app itself and how much information it is actually holding, considering the text that we can see from just one page of the Bible. I also put the phone in front to show that android phones may seem a lot more readily accessible and more appealing to read than the book itself, even though you are getting the same information from both sources. This photo is a depiction of how you can see a lot more of technology than of written text, however still showing that the written text is not completely gone. I am using the positioning of the android phone to not only show the Bible being in the phone through app but also the computer itself being in the phone as well.

I liked these photos because they were creative and not just "shots" of objects. It was particularly interesting to read the photographer's perspectives and intentions. The angles, light and framing were great. I wonder how a human might be integrated into at least one of the shots. Perhaps you can think about such media in the home stretch of the semester....
