Self-Reflection about workbook

My topic for this workbook is ＂please give the pets more love！＂

For this porject，i went to the S.P.C.A which near the bartely，i want ask people take good care for their pets，and spent more time play with them， dont bit them if you are angry with something，every animal is cute and look forward their own's love.

I decided to take photos from these side that use different ways and angles to take photos）

- whole building

-the animals in cages，stay alone ，sleep（sad ）

-visitors play with them （happy ，exciting）

-the workers feeding the animals

-people filling up forms（adoptting pets）

-my pets cat molly that adoptting it from SPCA，and get along well in my home

but for my whole photos，i find a problem that i just take some photos about the pets stay alone and pitiful，maybe i can catch the time that valunteers and visitors caming here，playing with them（express the animals wantto play with people who really love them，want someone can bring them to home and feed they well），besides these， there is one same way to take photos（the animals werelocked up in the cages）and its important to change the different ways and angles to take） that are still challenging for me.

 

The fourth singapore international photography festival 2014

Teacher took our class to visited fourth singapore international photography festival 2014，All the photographs in the festival presented had thier own style and characteristics，and the display of the works use the nomal way like put the one same style photos together，there many series of photos that explors the topic of work and leisure，however  the photographs grouped in a certain way.

Ron O'Donnells' photographs attracts me most than others.there are somethings about his photos 

when i saw his works ，i had a lot of feeling， As the pictures for his photos that In the soil with junk flowers in full bloom instead of better，but the flowers living in the clean soil are not good ，it led me thougt some truths from our daily lifes，a person who meet some trouble in his life and works that he will becaming more strong，and if a peole never meet some trouble and everything ask therr parents and friends to help，they will die quickly tht someday he cant get some help form others，So it tell us we should learn moen and make yourself more better that can solvution the problemers by yourself and dont afraid it..... 

I think if we have free time that we can go to some exhibits to visit more good things， its good for us to have moregood idea and have a good visal to understand things.
