Part I
1. What is your reaction to his work?
I liked the way he would take the pictures of the buildings and use three shots at different angles and put them together. I think that its cool because I've never seen any photos taken this way before and I think that they are pretty unique as well.
2. How do you think he made these photos?
Maybe he took one shot of a building and used a photo editor to change the transparency and make three clones of the building. He positioned the copies as a specific angle to get the desired affect he wanted.
3. Think about some buildings you have seen, which ones would be good to take a photo like this? Tell me about those buildings, where are they, could you get easy access to them?
You could probably do one on the Tower of the Americas in San Antonio, Texas. It's a 750-ft tower with a large observation area and a restaurant at the top. You can easily take photos of this tower at even a greater distance from its base on the highways.

Part III
It is good to be able to take pictures of scenes with more than one thing going on at a time, where many things happening at once without distraction into the other going ons. Another important suggestion, is that a photographer should be able to take shots of quiet moments as well as ones that have a lot of energy. It is also important that a photographer should be able to also get good shots of nature too.
I think that the photographer had followed the suggestion by getting all the power of the waves into the shot, showing the power and action of some nature. The suggestion that influences me the most, would definitely be the one where the photographer should be able to get good shots of quiet, still moments.
