Hey folks, this is my submission for the next topic. while jordonna and mike were in town we went here and I thought that this would be a perfect example of interaction, everyone interacting with the sculptures and all that... these, of course, are photojournalistic in style and i deff like the portraits better.

The top one works best in this whole interactions theme. You take a picture of Mike taking a picture of Jordana in front of a gigantic picture that seems to be looking back at its subjects. So you brought people to a place where you thought they could take photographs and took photographs of them doing this. The whole thing really just pokes fun at or makes light of a simple touristy interaction. This doesn't seem like a photograph that Mike would make except to simply do visitor stuff. Shoot the person in front of something they like. There's no narrative connection except that the subject found something new and wants to document that they saw it and were there. And now you documented that with almost the same premise. I'm not sure which interaction I'm being led to or how these fun, casual shutter snaps treat the theme.
I can get some joy out of the near/far relation and the large poster man and his huge bubbly grin looking back towards the cameras. I love over-sized images in public spaces that stare at you. I wish you had other visitors here that I don't know, while they made their simple shots. But I doubt they would have positioned themselves as far away. And your presence might very well have altered their photo-shoot.
Maybe you should hop on a tour bus around the city and get all the juicy interactions of fanny-packs and hard rock cafe shirts.
I'm glad you had visitors, Jana.
