Look at the Photo Extra Page SA1-SA4.

Which is your favorite photo? Why?

My favorite is the photo of the Lutheran Trinity Church in Manning, Iowa. It's well framed and makes me think of snow, which we don't get a lot of down here. It uses cool colors to convey a feeling of peacefulness. 


Which photo had the most interesting stuff going on?


The most interesting photo was the photo of the church meeting in Flint, Michigan. It's chaotic and conveys emotion and desperation. 

Which photo was the most boring?


The most boring photo was the photo of Ted Cruz. I've seen a million photos like it and every campaign photo is beginning to blend together.

Which photo had the most interesting subject?


The most interesting subject was Deirdre Culbreath speaking about homelessness in Seattle. The photo creates an emotional, isolated portrait.
