Dirty City

Posted on December 20, 2010 by maung.aung

I decided to choose to shoot garbage on the street that are around the city. I wonder why people complained about so many rats are running around the city and they did not realize it was done by us. People left messes around that attract rats and roaches. For instance, a picture with the half bitten apple left in the street like that grasp an attention from rats who sense it. If we did not left that apple on the street and throw in garbage. Also, street food vendors leaving food on the street also attract the rats. Another issue that I have is that newspaper on the street. Nowadays, people do not read news from newspaper since there are so many new high tech items are keep coming out. Many people prescribe newspaper on their iphone or internet and we still keep printing so much paper that we do not need. Thus, we could save our environment if people start taking their own action.

: Restaurant makes a lot garbage.

: Street food vendor left messes behind too.

: full of garbage.

: who care about these garbage?

: Sidewalk was block by garbage.

: Did people read newspaper at all?

: who left that apple on the street?

Black Friday Crowds near Herald Square

Posted on December 5, 2010 by maung.aung

I went to shopping on Black Friday to get a deal on the items that I want but there are so many people shopping on that day and so chaotic. So I thought it might be interesting to see the chaotic side of Black Friday. There is one thing that I want to show in this assignment is that only a few items that does not sold out are the one on sale. I have put one of the photo with CK clothes that are 50% off but no one is buying it. First, I thought it was a good deal but when I check the price tag, it was over price. This is another thing that sellers did on Black Friday. They put the price so high and put this percent off and some people thought it was a great deal. As all of you can see that not a lot of people are holding shopping bag, this indicated that the sale for this Black Friday did not go well.

Team Work!!! :)

Posted on October 18, 2010 by maung.aung

I chose to shoot my Baruch swim team as my community assignment. Recently we went to Harriman State Park as team bonding trip which included three miles of hiking, one mile running up and down a hill, and then a BBQ. We created the trip to get to know each other because we have both old and new members. After hiking and running, we divided into two groups to play football while some of our teammates were preparing food. We had a great time on the trip and at the end we really got to know each other. Moreover, we had our first swim meet against William Paterson University and it was a good game. I also chose this because I want to show that we don’t just go to swimming practice and then go home. We do a lot of varied activities with our team.

: Team Photos!!

: Hike!

: Let take a break and discuss what we should do next.

: Who should I throw at?

Baseball Game in Central park on Labor day

Posted on September 28, 2010 by maung.aung

I didn’t know what to do with Labor day assignment so I went to central park to see if there is any social events going on. So I saw these a group of thirty people age ranging from 20 to 70 years old that are playing baseball. I thought it was pretty interesting to shoot. I try to capture shutter speed in this assignment since I am shooting a Baseball game which include a lot of movement. Also, I was kind of impress by this 70 years old man playing a baseball game with a bunch of people that are younger then him and he play pretty well. This show that he like to do a lot of outside activities and it motivated me in a sense.

: in the position to hit the ball

: He may be 80 yrs old but he hits first base

: getting in position

Shopaholic

Posted on September 27, 2010 by maung.aung

So I decided to do a theme about “Shopaholic” for my environment assignment. Her name is Djenane. She is a close friend of mine and she love to go shopping. I tried to show that she did shopping from head to toe which mean she bought earrings, clothes and shoes. One of the thing about a shopaholic that grasp my attention is that if they see something that they like they have to buy it or they will regret it later.
