Panoramic Photos

 I like this photo because of how it how it shows several different visual perspectives at once, unlike a regular photo. Panoramic photos  like this give the viewer much more to look at than regular ones. I also like how this photo shows off the curving, geometric patterns in the street tiles and multiple sides of the buildings.
I like this photo because the panorama has made the area being photographed look like a tiny planet floating in space. This allows the framing of a relatively small area, as it stands out from the sky around it and features nothing beyond the "planet". The clear water and mountains in the distance give the "planet" depth.

Found Faces Story

Meet Johnny the Rave. Formerly known as the bland "Johnathan Robertson", Johnny the Rave has been totally transformed by the sweet wraparound shades prescribed to Johnny the Rave by Johnny the Rave's optician. Johnny the Rave is seventeen years old and lives with Johnny the Rave's mom and dad, Tabitha and Phillip, and Johnny the Rave's baby brother and sister, Landon and Katie, who are fraternal twins. When Johnny the Rave isn't mowing lawns for Johnny the Rave's neighbors or working Johnny the Rave's summer shift at Dutch Bros., Johnny the Rave uses his siblings' electronic toys to create dub-step music. Johnny the Rave doesn't really understand this genre of music, but Johnny the Rave is cool and thus needs dub-step to rave to. Aside from raving, Johnny the Rave likes to talk in third person, chill with Johnny the Rave's homies, shred on the the sweet guitar Johnny the Rave got for Christmas, and lean against walls looking cool. Johnny the Rave is incredibly good at looking cool and always manages to put Johnny the Rave's sunglasses back on and hide Johnny the Rave's special edition copy of Gone With the Wind well whenever someone passes the wall Johnny the Rave leans on. Truth be told, Johnny the Rave thinks Scarlet O'Hara is one rad lady. Reading and writing poetry (mostly Haikus) and fiction are two things Johnny the Rave does very well. Only Johnny the Rave's mom and dad know that and they are sworn to secrecy. None of Johnny the Rave's poems and stories involve dub-step, guitars, or leaning against walls. They're all either about the pioneers, the state park near Johnny the Rave's home, or occasionally Johnny the Rave's cat. Currently, Johnny the Rave is saving up to buy a used Delorian. For the license plate, Johnny the Rave plans to buy one inscribed with the characters: 575SOH.

Favorite Picture Post

I love this picture because the camera lens used makes the construction vehicles look like toys. It gives me the same perspective of when I look at an ant hill or figurines of the same objects, except I know these ones are big. The focus of the picture follows the rule of thirds and makes the center bulldozer the focal point. The bright orange barricades nearby also draw the eye to this spot. The photo manages to show off a lot tiny details, such as the markings on the bulldozers. The construction worker almost ant-like and the rubble looks like crumbs, making the hard work that goes into removing it seem very insignificant.
