Reflections and Impressions on Websites.

In the first website I looked at entitled revealing Chicago I thought the pictures were nice, interesting and pretty but to be honest they didn't really stand out. I can say my favorite picture was the one of Lake Shore Drive where it meets Sheridan Road. That picture was pretty and nice and I think it does captivate the city really well but for the most part those pictures did not motivate me to want to take pictures of the city. I believe a picture one states should be motivated as well as breath taking to some degree by the picture taker.

The second website I looked at entitled picturing Chicago was a great site. I love it. Just looking at the album entitled North Shore North Side was diverse and culturally interesting. It was not just pictures of people, places, trees, or empty buildings but rather it was pictures of signs attached to building in black and white. I love black and white. I think it makes the building or picture itself more full of imagination for the viewer. The pictures show a culture and the people who live in that culture. I believe to the fullest that is the way pictures should be taken in a society and city. Especially one as big, full and diverse as Chicago. This site makes me want to go out and take pictures to see what my city has to offer.

The last website I didn't really enjoy either. I felt it was to bland and boring. There was not imagination and or intrigue to make a person want to look at what they have to offer.
