Website Review

The website that I looked at was called Lens. This website is a part/extension of the New York Times, but it’s main use is photography. My first impression of this website was that it would include good photographs, but stories that weren’t that interesting to read. That, however, is not true; the articles and captions are very well written. The intention that is behind this website is to show important events that occurred with photographs and stories. On this website, the articles are written about events that have happened all around the world. The average viewer, by viewing the website, can receive information about interesting events, and high quality photographs to go with the story. The stories, on this website, vary in length and topics, so one can find something that interests them. If you were to view this website, then you can also see the pictures of that week, and the captions provide information about what happened in that particular photograph. The pictures of the week are always very well taken, and cool to look at. That is not only because they describe what occurred that week, but because those pictures are the best ones to do so. I don’t think that I will add this website to my bookmarks because I don’t enjoy reading articles very much. However, the website has very good photos that are captivating to look at and find the story behind them out. I would recommend this website if you want to learn about important events that have happened around the world, and look at some great photographs.

I would rate this website a five out of a scale of five. I gave it that rating because the stories are well written, and pictures are well taken.

This is one of my favorite photos from this website. It was part of The Week in Pictures: Feb10, 2017 post, and I think that it describes what’s going on right now very well. It is a picture of a border wall that is already put up in Harlingen Texas. This photo is really well taken because it shows the beautiful starry sky and then you can see the fence sticking up. It looks kind of unreal because it was taken so well. It’s a simple picture, but it speaks for itself about what is going on. I chose to share this picture on my blog because I really like how it looks and the angle it was taken at. I especially like how it was taken at night so you can see all the stars. I think that it perfectly encompasses what is going on in the United States these days.
