- Summarise what the photographer and critics have said about the photograph you have chosen.
- What does the photo say about the way the photographer sees today's world do you think (write down your answer)?
- How much do you share his way of seeing things (write down your answer)?
- Record your conversation about the photo on your cell phone (make sure the recording is very clear), each saying clearly why he likes or dislikes the picture.
