Windows to the soul: What I've seen in my peers

Trevor_R, Mike B, Alicia L
Before I start my comments on every one’s post I like to say that I really enjoyed watching every ones pattern assignment. I felt like writing comments anyway, only later to find out that leaving feedback is actually a requirement. Going through the photographs of patterns that people had put through, I think I got to know them a little better, like peeking through a window to the souls of the classmates.

Trevor R: I like the back ground of your blog. I also like the unique name for your blog, “Jacket Color Guard”. From your pattern album, the weathered look of the bench is really artistic. The flowing pattern looks like a river frozen in time. You definitely have nice way of writing your captions for the patterns, which I enjoyed a lot. I also thought the last picture of railings was interesting, with each post representing a year of human life, the ones in close up being the early formative years, and the further in the distance, all of them seems like a blur, are the later years.

Mike B: we r not the same card but I really like his photograph of patterns. I have to admit he has a nice tactic of taking picture. All the patterns look very organized but Pine Cone and Storm Drain are my favorite ones. I like the pine cone most is because it is something so common that nobody pays any attention but even in it there is a beautiful pattern to enjoy for those who seek it. I also like his comments on cracks on roads pattern and the patterns on an ivy leaf, and how they appear to be similar. Actually I think (given my biology background from another life), there is similarity because I think, both are caused by flow of ‘water’. In case of the road, cracks are formed by water seeping in and freezing and breaking. The patterns on the leaf are made by veins and arteries, which carries food and nutrients from and to the leaves.

Alicia L: You photos of modern living room accessories are really eye catching. I particularly like that you have chosen to highlight colors in patterns, which to me adds a third dimension to the patterns in flat sheets.
