The first STAC Icebreaker


Something is distracting her and I want to know what it is...
This was close to the last picture of Jillian and as you can see here, the photos went on and Jillian became more comfortable with the Camera.
The expression she's making is so realistic. A person usually makes that half-open smile when they've just been insulted.
I wasn't in the room when this picture was taken but this is such a rare expression for Meesh. I'm guessing that she was asked a weird question. I like it because it's an innovative expression for Michelle.
The first of many photographs that have an object as the center of attention. I like it.

The simple bite of the lip makes her seem so interested in whatever it is that's in front of her (obviously ruling out the camera and photographer in this case).
This is a pretty awesome angle. It makes her look like a giant looking down at the lens.
If we were playing charades, he is experiencing an overwhelming allergic reaction?
This reminds me of Zach as Mather in the One Act Plays. Very animated and sensitive.

A common Nina "creeper face" that tends to make me giggle.
I like how there really isn't that much background shown and you can mostly focus on her.

Usually the use of a hand could kill the mood of a photograph, but it works perfectly here for Jess. Fierce!

If there was a little bubble to the left side of Bobby right now displaying his thoughts, this picture would be complete.
Dialogue for this photo: "who are you talking to? Me or Molly? A confused smile, very rare, yet effective.
Again, the photo shows a total different side of the STACie. Here, she comes across as fairly pompous or in a strong disagreement with something. Even though her eyes are closed, I can still get that idea.
I picked this one because it reminds me of an expression Megan would make to get me laughing.
Does anyone else think this kid looks sorta- kinda like me? Especially here!
This is such a typical pose for Jack. If one didn't know him, the photo could reveal a lot about his personality.

For those who know Matt, this is not something he would regularly do. It was cool to make him escape from his comfort zone for a single shot.



This photo of me is one of the few that looks more like a posed photograph as opposed to one taken mid-conversation. I didn't know I was that animated...
Even though we weren't asked to capture the people in the background, I think the contrast between Alex's petrified expression and the three happy students behind him makes the photo seem very original and far from cliche.
Evidence that a picture's worth a thousand words
Her face is so animated here, it could easily be transformed into a cartoon character and blend right in.

It's awesome how the background of this photograph is blurry, yet Liz is crystal clear. Sort of like the world is moving incredibly fast around her, but she is in her own zone, calm and collective.
Hilarious! It's almost like she's imitating what an average fake smile looks like
This photo makes me laugh because not only is it spontaneous, it also makes the viewer wonder what she is about to say or what she's talking about. And the fact that her shirt says "Got Questions?" really helps the reader create dialogue for Becky's photograph
The shot angle of this photo is really professional. It almost looks as if this could be Ashley's headshot.
Most of the pictures that were taken of Nicole were not a bit original. This photograph shows me a whole new side of Nicole. A little bit of an attitude is shown. Perhaps she is distracted or ignoring the camera. I like pictures that show new sides of an individual.
Her facial expressions are one thing, but the actual shot is stupendous. The angle is perfect and the picture portrays bravery, horror, and just plain humor to me (as a viewer).

This picture is truly unique because Leah is in mid- conversation, yet still has an excellent smile that the camera managed to capture. It's almost like this picture was spontaneous to the photographer and Leah.

  1. Hey you, some great observations here. The shot of Alex you picked - that stands out. That is a very complex picture, with a lot of implied narrative to it, and I love it that you found it. It is the one picture that looks like a scene from a movie, doesn't it? You comments about your own picture were very interesting as well - that picture does look posed in a weird sort of way. Great.
