Week 5: Forum

Favorite Photo Story:
What makes it interesting/catches your attention: Photo story about kids with guns, some of the images were compelling and made me think immediately about my opinion about it. 
Two challenges:1.) Had to take pictures in a hospital of blood on the floor
                           2.) Had to get people's permission to take pictures of them, including a police officer.
Describe: Theme/Visual Consistency/Narrative there?
Theme: Gun country, and their pride of guns
Visual Consistency: Pictures all have a pride showing over all the faces and nonchalant care of the weapons with no care of safety.
What techniques/approaches can you take from this photo story? Took non-opinionated photos, with some posed but mostly non-posed, with shots of everyday life
