When Currier told us that we'd be watching a movie, I was a little uncertain on how interesting it would be. The words "no dialogue" and "I find it interesting" that came from Currier didn't really sit too well with me. However, I really liked the movie. Not only were the various scenes beautiful, but it was a great way to start off my days. I did, however, find it difficult to not be lulled to sleep by the relaxing music. I really wanted to keep my eyes open to be able to see all of the beautiful scenes, but it got really difficult to do so with the calming music in the background.

For the parts I did get to keep my eyes open for, I had mixed feelings about them. My favorite part was that group of guys singing and dancing with their hands. It was really cool, and it really woke me up. My least favorite part was the creepy guy with the white face. Paired with the eerie music, that scene had me wishing that I had kept my eyes closed for that part. I'm going to have a nightmare about him some time in the near future. Other than that, nothing else really stood out to me like these two parts did. Everything else was just as beautiful and interesting and all, but those two scenes really captured my attention.

Overall, everything about this silent film was amazingly beautiful. I never knew that I could enjoy a movie without words. I'm glad that I got the chance to see the many things that happen around the world. And maybe next time when Currier says that he finds something interesting, I'll think on it with curiosity rather than uncertainty!

Dear Jordan...

Dear Jordan,

I very much enjoyed looking through your photos on Facebook because it's so different from what I'm used to seeing in Photography class. I feel like your photos tell me that you are very friend and family oriented. Although not all of your photos were taken of people, I noticed that of the places you went, you had your friends or family with you all the time. I liked how you incorporated many of the elements and principles even through random shooting. I saw a lot of emphasis, value, color, and expression. My absolute favorite photo in the album that I took a gander at was the one of Tina at BJs attacking a mozerella stick. I loved the fact that it was black and white. I'd like it if this random but delicate type of shooting from you was brought into our Photography class.

Sincerely,
Michelle
