Critique:
I love Aline Smithton's photography. Those pictures is when she went to her husband's parents apartment. But when she took those picture her parents in law already pass away. I can see a lot old furniture, old style phone and pad fashion things. Her picture is very simple, but there is a lot stories in the picture. The color of the picture shows sad and missing. I feel she took those picture is because she want do use camera to record all the memorize with her parents in law.

Reflection:
This picture I tried to recreate or retake it based on the second picture. I don't want to make the two picture looks same, so when I was looking around my house, I decide to take this picture. Aline Simthson teaches me that not every picture need do be fancy or have a lot color. It could me very simple. My pictures record what my house looks like when I was 16 years old, so when I was 20 or 30 years old I could find this picture then I will remember how my piano looks like. I think from doing artist research, I have chance to look over other people photo and their experiment. Every pictures have their own story, I feel I am reading the story from all the picture.
