Bertha L. also took a photo of a curtain in her room that I personally thought was really eye-catching. We played with it a little as a class, and it turned out to be an edifying experiment in the impact of a crop. Below is the picture cropped two different ways. Although it's the same image and we changed nothing else about it (lighting, color balance, etc.), the two version have a very different effect. In the first, your eye is drawn up and there's a sense of space. In the second, you see more details and textures. It's all thanks to the crop!

Repetition is one of my favorites! Here's a related photo I took for the school recently: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1633104/visit_to_printer%20%282%29.jpg
"Faces and Fruit" reminds me of something I would see on apartmenttherapy.com. There's something about the frowney-face being the first magnet that comes into focus + that quiet lighting that feels melancholy. I like it.
"Box" has some nice shadows. Is that box from Pier 1? :)
"Crayolas" is just fun. I imagine it in large format - bulletin board size or larger!
Great work. I look forward to more.
I'm inspired! These photos make me want to go buy a camera. Keep up the great work!
