Humans of UTSA

What do you want to do after you graduate? "I just want to travel. I've lived in San Antonio for five years and I really like it here, but I don't like to be in one place for very long. I'm looking forward to visiting other places and seeing what's out there".

Do you have a happiest memory you can share? "I don't want to think that I've got one happiest memory. I have a collection of many happy memories but don't want to isolate one as the happiest, because it might cheapen the others".

Do you have a happy memory from your childhood? "Probably when I was a freshman in high school and played soccer. They were giving out awards for the year and I got the MVP award. I think that stands out because it was totally unexpected".

Do you have a happy childhood memory? "When I was 13 and my mother took my brother and I to a Weezer concert in Austin".

Does anything stand out as an event from your childhood that you feel changed your life? "When I was 16 I traveled to Belgium, and it was an amazing experience".

Color critique

Crystal Martinez's photos were overall very successful. She did a good job of cropping her photos to emphasize the areas of interest. There was variety to her shots with the color emphasis being in the foreground, mid and background on different photos. Good color reinforcement as well, where she had her pop of color , she either had the same color show up, moving your eye throughout the photo, or a complimentary color to provide some contrast.

Johnathan Salas had a good variety of photos that had a playfullness about them. His first photo was a good choice and I think the best of the five. Great complimentary color between the truck and the brick in the background, with some heavily shadowed areas that keep your eyes moving throughout the photo. Overall successful five shots with my only critique being that he could have cropped a couple of perimeter items for a more successful composition.
