-To me, the article talked about third spaces. My personal family is spread all across New England, so there is not a space like this for my family. However, my Girlfriends family has two locations that serve this purpose. One of which is a family beach where, once a week over the summer, everybody meets and enjoys a beach day together in coastal Maine.\u00a0 The other location is a house called Edgehill that has been in their family for over a hundred years, and as family visits from all over during the summer, there is always a dinner or event at that house.\u00a0 I’ve gone multiple times to play with my girlfriend’s little cousins and at the big barn they have, and it is a very laid-back, relaxed family gathering that I believe serves as a third space. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Q: Why are third places disappearing?<\/div>\n
A: I think that third place is our disappearance due to a sense of efficiency.\u00a0 If you look in a city, every bench has anti-homeless technology built into it, and every cement structure has anti-skating functions built into it as well.\u00a0 There are thousands of no-loitering signs wherever you go, and if you try to sit in a restaurant for too long, you will be asked to leave to make room for a customer.\u00a0 Every other third space, such as malls or movie theaters, has removed human connection and increased security to stop loitering.\u00a0 I think that these third spaces have begun to move online and that it has resulted in a loss of connection<\/span><\/div>\n

Based on tips from this video,
Make a list of changes that would improve you photographs?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you can’t take new photos, Explain at least three changes you would make to your photos that could improve them. Then keep this in mind for your next photos.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Some changes I can make to improve them are focusing more on composition. I think there is “no such thing” as too much composition practice, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be reminded to practice them.\u00a0 I think in my photography I can try to better understand the rule of thirds and try hard to use them more than I already do. I think in relation to my project, the next time I would take similar photos, I would focus more on leading lines. With the photos I took at the bleachers I could have used the railing and the lines bleachers to create visually appealing images. I think a third composition tool I could use is symatry with the stairs, on both sides of a group going up at the same time .<\/div>\n
