Extra Credit - Website Review and Rating

PetaPixel - 

          While looking over this website just from a quick glance over, you can that there's a lot going on, which could be resolved by simply having a more put together kind of stationary look. However, I like the way that the website is put together. Its purpose seems to be a type of blog/informational site that has links to articles all regarding photography styles or stories. When gathering these types of information, it's critical to get details correctly so that the articles get more links, but the hardest part would probably be the fact the ad-space is all over the place and taking up spots where more information to articles should be. Any average viewer interested in astonishing stories or breathtaking photograph styles would love this website, and it would be a great opportunity to add this to your bookmarks and recommend this website to a friend or family member that may be interested in the world of photography. I can say that I, myself, will add it to my 'Google Bookmarks' and will be recommending it to a fellow friend of photography when I get the chance. My overall rating of this website would definitely be a 4.5, with my only two problems about it being the cluttered header and too may ads covering the page.
          Out of the many intriguing articles on this website, I believe that he most eye-catching one that caught my interest best, would have been the one about a Russian Model by the name of Viktoria Odinstova who is getting 'harshly criticized' because she was dangled willingly off a 1,000 tall skyscraper in Dubai for photoshoot without any permission, nor safety equipment to do such a thing. Not supposed to be allowed, she has been getting criticism and a few other people in her sponsoring pool took thought into if somebody with such a reckless spirit deserved the work that the com many had in store for her. This will definitely put a damper on her career and the possibility for her to have a good reputation for the rest of her modeling career. Though I believe that the photoshoot seemed to go well, she should have been more care and gotten the proper safety equipment just in case something went wrong. You can never be too careful. And in situation, I would rather look silly in a large amount of safety gear than to have none and slip to fall to my death unexpectedly.
