1. When you discover new subject matter on your journey as a photographer but then get tired of your new subject matter, then what? Will you try to draw it out as possible or would you try to move on to something new to photograph?
Answer: Well if I do begin to start photographing a new discovery and get bored with it, then I will simply have to move on and photograph new things. The mind constantly wanders and imagines and the best part is that you can make those dreams and imaginations realistic. All you have to do it get up and go find what you want.
2. Why is photography considered a journey when it's simply just taking photographs of something interesting?
Answer: Photography is considered a journey because it's constant. Everyday is a new day and not everything in this world will stay they same as it was when you last started. It's like people; we are born, we live and then we die. Photography is a journey of not just finding something interesting to take pictures of but finding yourself in the photographs you take. Time plays an important role in photography and that will never change.
1. Shore himself does not want his own photography students cropping. He wants to set a challenge for himself and his students. For commercial work he explains how they always wants to crop work but when it's not commercial work he strategically stays away from cropping.
2. Different places to stand when taking a photograph can differ. The distances are important in taking a photograph and it's a personal decision as well. A person will ask how the picture was taken because of the distance of the subject matter looking bizarre in place like a car parked in the road.
3. When Shore uses the terms "fuzzy thinking" he means artificial or easy thinking. When commercial jobs talk about taking care of the post by cropping it themselves it's as though they never fully leave pictures natural or realistic. Everything always has to be altered to appeal to viewers but if you continue to do that it gets boring and looks unoriginal.

This photograph was not successful because of the subject matter. Everyone in the world knows what McDonalds is and when they order a meal they know what it looks like. So seeing a picture of a McDonalds meal is not really interesting. The names carved on the patio table where the foods sits is also common on todays food tables.
This photograph is successful because of the isolated colors included. The flowers are closely matched to the flooring it's rested upon. I like how it brightens the wall that it's leaning against too.
Another photograph of Shore's that is successful is this landscape photo. The horizon line running on a slope through the picture is astonishing. The bright blue sky with white fluffy clouds is relaxing as well as the green grass hills.
