The photographer's use of light draws the eye directly to the top cd and the leading lines lead your eye down the stack of cds. The medium shot gives us the idea of the environment but it is not as important as the cds, obviously.

The photographer using a low angle quite nicely to give the viewer a feel of respect for music and maybe more specificaly the red hot chile peppers (because their disc is easily spotted and has the largest title). The close up draws us even closer into the music and detaches us from the enviroment. Finaly the photographer uses the books along the side to pull your eyes up and down the stack of cds. the topic of this photo is obviously music and the theme is music has a large amount of power.

I love this photo Kate! The low camera angle does bring a feeling of awe, and makes you think of the wonders of music. The low camera angle also makes it seem like this stack of CDs goes on forever, which is how music is, a never ending masterpiece. The Stadium Arcadium album draws my eye in, making if seem like your choice was to say that it was the best or favorite music of yours. The close up angle suggests that these CDs are the only things that matter.

Kate this is a cool photo. The use of light makes the stack of CDs look almost "heavenly" making me use the analogy that music is pure and awesome. Also the low angle shot compliments the light by adding more to the feeling of music being something worth listening to. Did you choose Stadium Arcadium album to stand out?

The power of books seem to be the message radiating from this bold picture. A tall stack of books glittering in the light look down on me with my low camera angle. The close up makes the books look even bigger and gives a much bolder appearence when paired with the low angle and the light that reflects off the spines of the books. The picture is full no matter where you start with your eyes but they always end up looking farther up giving off the sense that power lies within the lines of books.
