Which photographer's work do you personally prefer? Platon or Dylan McDermott?
~ I liked Platons photographs more.
Where does Dylan McDermott go to take the best photos and why is it so fantastic to photograph? 
~In Africa, There's something to always capture

Platon says he does not think of himself as a photographer anymore. What does he say he is?
~A storyteller, telling his story through pictures.

Both Platon and Dylan McDermott talk about today's society and how it have been "robbed" by technology. What has technology taken from us according to Platon? Do you agree with the statements they make about communication today? Why or why not?
~Everyone is always documenting their life and the are missing out on cool things because they are always on their phone, I agree entirely, this generation can't stop looking at their phone.

Describe a photo you saw in the episode that you felt was an exceptional photo.
~The man holding his guitar without knowing what actually was happening they see it as something inspiring and it's kind of funny.


The article talked about shutter speeds and the best way to take the photos for the type of action photo you'd like to take. Personally I like the blur phptos esspecially at night. I have an IPhone but I'd like to have a good cera one day and slow down the shutter speed and have good quality pictures. The sharp photos aren't bad just not original
