Write a short personal reaction to the movement, photographer or term you researched. What is interesting or not interesting about the work (50 – 75 words).

I love the frost on the window because it brings out so much detail. I liked how he brought out the white of the frost and then the window was dark so you kept your eye on the bright spots. I also love the way it actually looks like actual frost on a car window or something. The frost looks like it was taken with a different type of light source like the moon because it kind of looks like there is a reflection of the moon in the glass.
