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.
