1. I think a few of the photos are pretty interesting and i wonder how long a few of the pieces took to create.

2. The kids are reoccurring in many photos i wonder if he knows these children or they are random strangers.

3. Since a lot of it is black and white i feel like he does that for a reason and theres meaning behind all the things he does .

4. I notice his work is featured in several different exhibits which means he must always be working hard.

5. There were a few portraits with no people in them.

 I thought that the Skype meeting with Mr. Roda was very interesting. I never had done something like that before. Before meeting him through Skype i was curious to why he created the things he did. After listening to him explain his works and a little bit of his background i started to understand his pieces a little bit better. I thought that it wasn't boring and he made it interesting. I think its cool that he includes his family in his work. Since he has a lot of work on display it seems he is a hard worker and always is coming up with different ideas. He told us that his favorite work is the next one because every other work is the past and he's always excited for his next one and what he will make of it. I think the Skype call made me understand the artist and his work. I would look forward to any future Skype calls with other artists.
