Two photos taken at UW-Madison were used to make one photo that was suppose to showcase diversity in the school. In one photo, there were nothing but white students at a football game, the other photo was of a black student at a ethnic minority icebreaker activity. They took the face of the black student and pasted it into the football picture. After finding out about the controversy, Barrows changed the photo and appologized for the screw up.


I believe this photo is unethical because it's two different photos, taken at different times under different circumstances, combined to apply another message than that from either original photo.

I don't believe this photo is unethical because all they did was push the pyramids in the background closer. They're still the same pyramids and it is still the same message, therefore there shouldn't be any problem.

Greg the ram entangles himself in a telephone wire in mid jump during a high-jump competition for rams in New Zealand. Greg has been the champion of these high-jump events for the past 3 years. That is, until he jumped a bit too high.

Futbol player Bernardo Silva yells at referee Ricardo Cruz as he steals Gonzales' extra pair of socks after the championship game in Portugal. Gonzales has been known to take his socks seriously and proved this accusation in 2006 when he kicked a fellow futbol player, demanding him to return his socks.

Officer Tony White sits atop Stan, the new addition to the police force in Chicago, Illinois. Trained in Ethiopia, Stan is considered a police-giraffe wonder as he has made it extremely difficult for anyone to miss him or Tony.

Is This Seat Taken?
A deputy waits before French President Nicolas Sarkozy's speech to members of the ruling party UMP (Union for a Popular Movement) at the Elysée Palace.

The rows and on going pattern of the seats lead your eyes from the right of the frame to the left, where the man is sitting.

Hats Off
People's Liberation Army soldiers attend a grand rally to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the foundation of the PLA at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

The pattern of people sitting in chairs and their hats in front of them is continuous throughout the entire photo and gradually get smaller as they get further away, leading your eyes through the photo.

2. A. Melanie Burford used multimedia skills to put together her slideshow in addition to photography skills. While watching the slideshow, you listen to a recording of singing and speaking.
B. The multimedia effects in this slideshow gave more meaning to the pictures and actual story. It gave us a sort of 1st person point of view on the story.
3. The police videos are interesting because they show the violence on the streets that is ironically being taken out on officers.
