Krzywy Domek (The Crooked House), Poland




1. With the planes of Marcin Szancer y Per Dalhberg, as well as the exotic designs of the Catalan Gaudí. Polish architect Szotvnscv Zaleski.

2. Constructed in the near 2003.

3. Sopot, Poland.

4. It's a public building.

5. Not determined.

6. It's more or less a monument to show a horrible past, or pictate one's feelings, your own facade in how you view this building.

7. I choose this house... It speaks to me, it's interesting, looks almost said. It looks very sad. I think it'd look better if it seemed mroe happy, maybe it's me, but it speaks loud and clear.. Almost reminds me of my own self. Much like the own description it speaks to msot, as a view of happy or sad... As your own highlight.

1. Charles Deaton

2. Construction on it began in 1963 and was at last finished in 2000.

3. Colorado

4. This is a public visitor open house.

5. It is not mentioned.


6. The builder was facinated[fasinated] with spirals, nothing straight.


7. I picked this building for it's unique structure. It's a nice weird building, it's perfectly unstraight, it's structured unormally. I like it, it isn't like the lame normal housing, it's really interesting. I prefer this building to the normal rectangle housing.


Hundertwasserhaus (Forest Spiral, The Hundertwasser Building),


1. Friedensreich Hundertwasser

2. Between 1998 and 2000.

3. Darmstadt, Germany

4.It's a public building due to the fact that it's made of apartments.

5. Undetermined.

6. Friedensreich Hundertwasser was a man interested in spirals so he decided to build this house, yes that's the only reason it was built. It became a large apartment building.

7. I like the uniqueness of this house. It's certainly huge and one of a kind. I'd hate to stare at it too long, probably get dizzy. But it's swirly and weird, it's quite interesting and looks cool on the inside of course due to all the spiral works on the outside and inside.


Nautilus House, Mexico

2. Not determined.

3. Mexico City

4. It's an atraction tore, all can visit it.

7. I choose this home since it's unique. It's a giant shell for crying out loud. I like it, it's weird, but seems quite cool, the feel of the ocean.. I'd love to stay in this house, it seems amazing to live in or even stay in. It's built to give the feel of an ocean, unqie, the shape, the way it looks on the inside is just interesting.

La Pedrera, Spain


1. Josep Bayo

2. Built between 1906 and 1910

3. Passeig de Gracia, 92 Barcelona

4. This buildings open to the public but also has private areas.

5. There's no info on the building-cost.

6 .For Milà family.This is one of the main Gaudí residential buildings and one of the most imaginative houses of the history of the architecture, this building is more an sculpture than a building.

7. I choose this building since it looks amazing. Like a sculpture in an oversizing form. It's amazing, simply gorgeous. I also like how big the building is, it's amazing, a work of art. Looking at this is like seeing something in a paiting being brought to life, it's astonishing[austonishing?].

Best Cover

#1 Rolling Stone, #2 Vanity Fair, #3 Esquire, #9 Harpers Bazaar, #10 National Geographic, #13 LIFE Special Edition, #15 Harpers Bazaar, #19 Esquire, #21 LIFE, #22 George, #23 The Nation, #24 Interview, #26 People, #27 Entertainment Weekly, #28 LIFE, #29 (tie) Playboy, #29 (tie) Fortune[Favorite one.], #31 Newsweek, #32 Vogue, #35 New York, #36 People, #37(tie) Details, #37 (tie) Glamour, #37 (tie) National Geographic, #37 (tie) TIME.





#29 (tie) Fortune (October 1, 2001) This special edition of Fortune, entitled Up from the Ashes, shows a man covered in ashes after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Published less than a month after the attacks, the issue discussed the economic ramifications of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City and the world.



It's of a man after a terrorist attack. He stands in ashes, from an attack in New York[NY]. This is showing the strtength of the man who survived or rather something interesting to just catch the readers eye. Typically it's communicating to the people or rather...[higher-up's] that something must be done about the attacks due to the fact that they're doing so much damage to our society. At least this is what I get from this picture and statement.

Cover History

The early magazine covers were those of the early 1700's-1800's. They were mostly the begining types that had more writing then actual pictures on them. The poster cover refers to those created first late 18th century and later mid 1900's. This was when people begin to notice that one picture should dominate the cover, making it the center of attention as to catch the eye. This was when pictures very used more frequently then words on the cover. The Marry to type idea was the fact of covers using headlines to draw eyes to them and pull viewers in while yet including also very artistic pictures for the viewing eye to see. This was the rage of the 20th's century, mostly in the late 1900's. The "In The Forest of Words" method was that refering to the use of the covering having a cover picture that covered the entire cover while being swallowed up by words, used or learned of in the 21st century.

Favorite photo of 2009.~


This is very interesting. He was standing in a fire, engulfing all his surroundings. What did he feel? Was he afraid, was he thinking he'd be okay? So many questions come to my mind, I just can't imagine being him. What would I do..?

Favorite story of 2009.~


My favorite story, well most sadening story would be that of Michael's death! He was a great singer, though maybe not the best historic background, I loved his songs, as a fan I was pretty devistated. But learning how he died.. I can't help but have some slike regret in liking of him..

Favorite movie of 2009.~ Avatar


This is my favorite movie of the year! AVATAR! I loved this action thriller. The story behind it was great! I loved the story as well how the movie had just the right amount of action.~

Favorite song of 2009~


This picture is of Linkin Park. My favorite American band who sang my favorite song called "The Great Divide". I heard this song on the second Transformer movie and had to hear it. I loved the song.~

What I plan for my portriat.

I plan to shoot, myself. Or.. My own family, of course. Either at my own home, with of course a photo of them all in a big group. I plan to shoot with good angling, for a shot close and fear. Shots of all angles with goo d lighting. I plan to not take photo's in too bright of light or too dark. Iplan to make sure there's good background of my subjects, maybe like.. Add leading lines of something to draw someone's attention? I'll think of techniques that will serve well.

Three favorite tips of photgraphy.

1. Alter Your Perspective
5. Move Your Subject Out of their Comfort Zone.
7. Introduce a Prop

A good photo must be one that shows character. A good photo must be original and from the heart. You must be close, and capture feeling either in a background or of the person your shooting. You need to get it close, and it must seem real. A weird funny distorted picture will be hated.
I wany to try for croping, background, many styles in my next shot. I want it to be good. When formating I want to try a self portriat, of something like the photo on the left. That's awesome.
