Sensory Overload

1. I believe this statement is true because people are noticing more devices and things as opposed to backgrounds and buildings. This makes me want to take pictures of more things.

3. It would probably be very fun because there are so many toys and colors.

4. I like the photo of the women in their booth with all their bags and toys there were a lot.
