Sports/Action Finale

1. The last sentence of the story says

"I believe that more and more, we are defining our environments not as the spaces themselves, in terms of the buildings or architecture, but rather by the objects and devices that we buy and surround ourselves with. ... I would like that message to carry through universally," Seymour said.


What do you think about this statement?

I think this statement is true and that the content of a building is more important than the architecture although architecture of some buildings is very pretty.
Do you agree or disagree?

I agree with this message.
As an aspiring photographer how does this make you feel about your photography?
I feel like photographers should focus on architecture, buildings,  objects, and devices equally.
2. When you looked through the images, did you want to visit this place and take your camera?
Yes it looked very fun and good to shoot. The rooms were compact and they all made good use of them.
3. What do you think it would be like to be the child of someone who worked at this place?
I think it would be a good time going through the building checking out nearby shops and helping sell product.
4. Describe your favorite photo to me.

My favorite photo is the one with all the buttons lining the walls. The store looks very simple but all the buttons look cool.
