The Big Day
Who- a cute boy
What- trying to get to his wedding
Where- england
When- march, 30th 2008
Why- so he can marry the girl of his dreams
How- by driving fast
So the woman just barely convinced her dad that she should marry the first guy, Fox. Her dad really disapproves of this guy and wants her to marry the other guy who just so happens to be at the wedding. She is getting ready for her wedding when her groom-to-be has not shown up yet. Her dad is getting antsy and irritated. At first, she's shire he's going to show up but when its 10 minutes till the wedding she starts to panic. Her dad proposes the idea that she marry Joel, the other guy who is there. Just as Fox opens the door she is standing there with Joel saying their vows.
Moral: don't marry a girl who would drop you in a second because you're late.
Student of the Month Story
Who - Sarah Nguyen
What - Student of the Month
Where - Bowie High School
When - April 20th, 2015
Why - For a newspaper article
How - Face to face conversation
On April 20th, 2015, I got the opportunity to interview the student of the month from James Bowie High School, Sarah Nguyen.
Since she has never been student of the month before, she was really shocked to find out that she was.
Sarah has spent a lot of time helping out the younger students here at bowie. "Being part of my school's PALS program has really contributed to the student of the month achievement." Even though she's not a part of any clubs outside of school, she continues to be involved in school activities and keeps her grades up. "I have gotten straight A's every year since I've been here," Sarah told us. Her parents were extremely proud of her for achieving this award. "This is not something I was expecting and it's the biggest award I've ever gotten, so I think they were a little surprised when the envelope came in the mail," she laughed. All of her friends were super supportive of this accomplishment. "My friends came over with a cake, actually," Sarah told us. She has continued to strive in school and will continue to even though she's already been recognized for it. Lastly, she had some advice for the freshmen. "Always try to do better, try to participate in as many extracurricular activities as possible."

My First HDR/Preview
1. What manipulations to the camera will you need to make to create an HDR image?
First you would change the settings, then take photos, and there are three dials in both directions from the middle point
2. What equipment will we use to take this type of image?
Camera, tripod, and photoshop.
3. What is the reason someone might take an HDR image?
This gives it a more 3D look, super defined.
4. What can we expect to happen with the images once we merge them together, what will we see that we might not have seen with just one photo?
The image looks more defined and you can see more angles when you add all the pics together.

Portfolio Analysis
1. Melissa Golden
a) She had a diverse subject, but it was journalism, I think.
b) In one of the pictures the focal point was blurry. Too much going on in a couple of the pictures. They mostly just sighed a lot.
c) The judges liked the portrait of the old man, they also liked the picture of the boy sliding into third base.
d) I didn't really like this photographer at all, the pictures were over edited in my opinion.
2. Dustin Snipes
a) His pictures were centered around sports but also featured some other things.
b) They didn't particularly hate any of his pictures, they did mention how one of his pictures was a little too over edited. One of the swimming pictures was too chaotic. The picture of the boys laying in shoes was not a favorite.
c) They really liked the picture of those girls sitting on the bench during the game because it had so much emotion.
d) I guess this one was the best, but I actually hated all of them. I don't really like this type of photography.
3. Alyssa Schukar
a) This girls pictures were kind of like a documentary type.
b) They actually really hated this girls pictures, they didn't really have anything good to say. They complained about her pictures being distant. They did not like the bulimia story because it was too depressing.
c) They liked that one picture of the guy sweeping, but honestly that was it.
The judges kind of just reminded themselves and each other of their favorite and least favorite pictures. They brought up a lot of factors before deciding that Dustin Snipes was the best.
Second Video
I also liked the picture of the 2 people standing on escalators. The composition was really nice.

Architecture Preview 2
I think that this building meets all of the requirements because it is so interesting and has a lot of weird things in it, about it. Its such a strange shape so it's able to create all of those requirements.
Sensory Overload
1. The last sentence of the story says
"I believe that more and more, we are defining our environments not as the spaces themselves, in terms of the buildings or architecture, but rather by the objects and devices that we buy and surround ourselves with. ... I would like that message to carry through universally," Seymour said.
What do you think about this statement?
I think that this statement is very true. He brings up a very good point that I don't think many people think about.
Do you agree or disagree?
I think I agree.
As an aspiring photographer how does this make you feel about your photography?
I think that this makes you take into account all of the details in the picture. I still think that the actual environment matters A LOT.
2. When you looked through the images, did you want to visit this place and take your camera?
I don't really like the look of this place. I think that there was too much to look at. It kind of hurt my eyes.
3. What do you think it would be like to be the child of someone who worked at this place?
As a child I feel like this would look like some type of dreamworld.
4. Describe your favorite photo to me.
My favorite photo is the one with all of the flowers. I like the way flowers look, I think I liked it the most because it wasn't neon plastic like the rest of them.

Newspaper Intro
1. My favorite newspaper front page was the REDEYE newspaper from Chicago, Illinois. I picked this one because I like how one picture covers the entire page, making you have to physically pick up the newspaper and open it to find out any of the stories.
2. My favorite headlines the main one, the theory of winning, because it is referencing the movie Eddie Redmayne won for, which I think is cool.
3. In this particular one, there are no stories, just previews of what the inside will show.
4. Most of the newspapers have a headline, a dominant photo, and then lots of print around the photo. This specific one that I picked was a bit different, but most of them were the same.
5. Some of the newspapers have the dominant photo in the center, while others have it on one of the sides with all of the print on the opposite side.

Magazine Cover (peer review)
The magazine cover that I looked at is called Bijou. I believe that Jackie Vargas took it. I really liked the pose of the model, and the placement of the title. In my opinion, It might've looked better, or more professional, if the picture was in black and white. I picked this cover because I love up close portraits. There is a barcode. I think the placement/font of the title makes it look like a magazine, but the barcode definitely helps. I honestly can't tell if this is the portrait or self-portrait, but if I would have to guess, I'd say portrait?

Peer Review

My favorite photo from her blog is the "The End" photo because it was very creative, and cute, and all around interesting to look at. I guess I would say that my least favorite photo of hers is the "Yummy" one, only because I think it could've been taken at a different angle, but other than that I really enjoyed her pictures (as well as the rest of her blog, seems we have similar interests). Overall, I like her photography style and the way she handles prompt shoots. I guess something she could work on is capturing the moment at an interesting angle, but really it's not that big of a deal. She did the best at portraying the "The End" prompt, in my opinion. The prompt that she portrayed the least successfully is the "Pose" one, only because of the angle. Maybe if it was taken from the side profile? But, like I said, still loved them all!

Great Portraits
This website is all about the different types of portraits and how many different ways you can take a picture of someone. I learned that it's sometimes okay to break the rules of photography.
I'm not able to save any of the pictures but i really liked the one of the close-up portrait of the lady. In this one i see simplicity, and rule of thirds.
Photos everyone should know how to make
This website is basically a list of cool tricks in photography that everyone should know how to do. It names a trick and then describes how to do it.
I learned how to make a 360 panorama, which did not know how to do before.
This is my favorite photo from this website. picked this photo because I love the idea of combining two photos together. I see point of view, and simplicity in this photo. Brian Tomlinson took this photo.

2014
My favorite song:
Robbers - The 1975
This is my favorite song because it holds a lot of importance to me, and I saw them live twice this year so it's a really good memory. They are my favorite band right now, and this song is their best one and means a lot to me.
My favorite movie:
Palo Alto
This is my favorite movie of 2014 because I loved the cast and the storyline. I also really enjoyed the soundtrack. This movie is about the truth of high school in California, and how it's not what everyone glorifies it up to be. The director of this movie is my favorite person, and I look up to her immensely. This movie is based off of a book that James Franco wrote.
Most important news story of 2014:
Ferguson
This was the most important news story of 2014 because it made people realize the importance of equality how much we lack it. I think this story is horribly wrong and more people need to realize just how messed up our system is.
Most important person of 2014:
Harry Styles
The most important person of 2014 (to me) is Harry Styles for many different reasons, but for me, he has always held importance and he is one of the kindest celebrities right now.
The best thing in entertainment of 2014:
Robbers - The 1975
My favorite movie:
Palo Alto
Most important news story of 2014:
Ferguson
Most important person of 2014:
Harry Styles
The best thing in entertainment of 2014:
The release and then unrelease of the James Franco and Seth Rogen movie, The Interview. I just think this is funny.
