Academic Shoot

Simplicity
I chose this photo for simplicity because the background is blurry so it makes your eyes focus on the object in the front, which is clear.  The background isn't that busy, and the blurriness takes away most of the business, so your main view is the faucet.  The subject is the faucet in the science room.  On first glance, its hard to know what the subject is because it doesn't look like a normal faucet.   Maybe for my simplicity photo i could have done a less busier background. 

Rule of Thirds
I had a lot of fun taking this photo :) and it was accidental.  So i was leaning up against a wall, and then this fly came at me it landed on this sheet of paper that was on the door.  I slapped it and killed it :( but i found it ironic that this sheet of paper has the word "flick" on it and a dead fly. This applies to the rule of thirds because the fly is in the lower left hand side, which makes it look better because then you can see the names and other academic words.   The subject is obviously the fly. 

Framing
I chose this photo for framing because i took this photo through a door window into a book room and the door edges are the framing.  I like how the lines are clear and the books and shelves in the room is blurry.  There really isn't a subject in this photo and i think it was a good example of framing.

Lines
I chose this photo for lines because i really like how the lines of the shelves lead off the picture and make you wonder. I also like how the we can read the first label, which makes it academics.  I think making it black and white was a good idea because it makes it more simple but prettier i think.  The subject is the shelves, and thats pretty obvious.

Balance
This was also a fun picture to take because while i was in the room  the kids were trying to not look at the camera and it was hard for them to actually act normal, but they tried.  I chose this photo for balance because kids and desks are taking up the whole framing. The several different heads create balance.  The subjects are probably all the kids, especial John and Jackson.
