Baraka Movie

Baraka has put a very "moving" feeling.  It made me realize how big the world is, and it makes me wonder how nice it would be to go visit these places.  This movie showed so much art and I couldn't keep my eyes off of it.  It was pretty amazing to see all sorts of people showing how they do their jobs/living at home, which is really different from how we do things here.  It makes you realize how each one of us are different and unique in our own ways.  I really enjoyed this movie.  I wish I could have watched until it was over.

Shadow shot

One Shot

This is my one shot.  It was hard to pick from three other pictures I took but I just picked randomly.  The top of the picture really bothers me since it isn't focused. But the bottom really is, and I guess it makes sense since it is still "new" to this world and that is where it first started to make an appearence.
