  1. The photo tells me a story. The drip-drop leaving on the glass states that it is a shower time at 7:30, which fits into the theme--@7:30. Due to the topic, everyone in the class presents intriguing aspects of life. It seems that the life is vibrant with the 7:30 whatever people are enjoying –making coffee or preparing delicious food. A colorful stage of life is shown in an instant. The photo is absolutely within this category.

    The proper composition provides me clues to annotate the story. The yellowish light, which symbolizes the time frame either in the early morning or in the evening, show me exactly when the story was happened. Without the lighting, I will be lost. Moreover, the dripping bath glass screens presented in a vertical way, which bring back the same experience with me. I can easily spot where the story has happened. Like the plot conceived by a writer, the photographer utilizes the light, direction, and color to create real surroundings for the picture.

    The photo attracts me as it builds up the common ground for the viewers. Simple lighting plays the key role within the story. Not only does the lighting signify the time line, but it also manifests the texture on the screen—a translucent glass door dripping with water inside. I even can recognize something inside. Although I am not sure whether it is a real person or a prop, it suggests me that it is a shower time. The shooting angle is straight on, and it generates the natural position for the viewers. Overall, the photo uncovers a personal story, which is suitable to the theme of entire class.
