I felt uninspired by the Ted Talk, as I felt that the focus on each person's skin color, though well-intentioned, created to a separationist view that led to further conflict. I don't know, it just never really resonated with me. Instead of the the standard skin color background, I chose to use each person's clothing choice as their background, because our clothing are the things we have control over. We can't choose where we live, what color our skin, eyes or hair is, but we can control our clothing style. Our skin doesn't represent us, our clothes do.

I learned how to use a distortion filter to make an image look like a planet. Using the Polar Coordinates, I took two photos (an album cover and a landscape photo of my own) and warped them from two perspectives, with the following results.
We spontaneously went to Tangerini's to take photos, after Mrs. H was inspired by Top Photographer. I feel like I did much better on the project overall because I went out and found more interesting perspectives and places to photograph. I tried to use a series of leading lines to pull the viewer into the center photo, which is my favorite of the bunch. In the end, I probably should've increased the saturation values in each of them, But between photo selection (over 130 to go through) and cropping, I was a bit pressed for time. And, in my defense, I interpret cohesive theme as very cohesive. I also liked the dull lighting in all of them, and didn't want to lose it.
