your story part 2

The one-vacation students here at Akins High School are looking forward to is right around the corner making us all impatient for the for that last school bell to ring. Personally I think that everybody is anxious for this summer; I mean who isn’t. From freshman partying to seniors saying farewell to their fellow classmates. If you don’t believe what I got to say lets just get a word from one of our very own “I cant wait for summer, all the parties. Oh I just can’t wait, because I know I’m bout to throw like 5 parties myself!!!!” Said freshman Josh Carter. Other than partying I asked my three interviewers if they were going to do something other than parting because we all know that’s fun; but at times we might get into trouble for doing those kind of things. For example you might go to jail or you just might get in trouble…. so I asked them if they would get into any of those things and I got “I’m not goin to lie I am going to get In trouble as matter of fact on a scale from 1-10 I would be doing something around a 8” said freshman Ashley Harteman. Of course if you get into that much trouble you would most likely go to jail so I wanted to know who would be the first to bail you out so I asked my good friend who would be the first to bail her out of jail and of course “my momma or cousin” said Amber Amboree was the answer because family would always be the first to be there for you or they are going to be in the jail cell with you. The one other thing most teens get in trouble for during the summer is for DWI. You might or might not do it and if I asked you, you probably might not confess to it but with this boy there is no shame in his game because his answer was “yeah ima be wasted” said Josh Carter. Whether he was playing or he was serious he said it. Others feel different about this situation though they say “hell nah I don’t play that” said Amber Amboree. Other than getting in trouble most teens look at the summer as in getting paid. So I wanted to know how some of you would get paid and the usual answer for a boy “yeah I’m going to get paid. And ima do that by doin what I always be doin: being a pimp” said Josh Carter. Now I think we should a girls point of view for getting paid and her answer was “hell yeah ima get paid and ima do it by doin what I got to do” said Amber Amboree. Although your getting paid your going to want to spend it I mean that’s why you got the job in the first place. So if your one of those people who aren’t for spending money yet you got it your answer would sound something like this “ yeah ima spend money…. Ima spend everybody else’s,” said Amber Amboree. If you are for spending money though cause you got lots of it you would most likely say something like this “ im going to at least spend somewhere around 500.00” said Ashley Hartemen. The main reason for summer is fun and that’s exactly what these teens are planning on doing this summer but then again most of them are big dreamers; but im not saying all of you are im just simply saying that most of you say you are going to do something but don’t do it so for that reason I asked my interviewers if they were just big dreamers like most people. Of course the answer was “ima do it all, everything I just said is going to happen!!” So when that last school bell rings for the year we all know its party time or maybe to some of us its doing a little time for partying to hard; but whatever it means to you or the person beside you its all the same situation for all of us…

action/sports pre- assingment

1.)runner-ups:
name of photographer:alyssa schukar

general focus:sports/illness/happiness

3 problems:
-all pictures are at same distance
-not enough strong singles
-some pictures take down others

2 things that areliked:
-the haiti picture ( alot of color )
-the baseball picture

my impression:i didnt really like some of the pictures that she took beacause they werent really that good and i agree woth the judges they were at the same angle.

2.)winning portfolio:
what did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it?
judges liked the color and composition he took.

what do you see as strengths?do you see weaknesses?
i agree with the judges he strengths were color but as for weaknesses i really didnt catch none.

3.)contest recap video:
the judges were looking for photos with color they did like back and white but mainly they wanted color. also they were looking for porfolios with no repitiion in photos; as in photos that look like they are similiar. also they didnt want any porfolios with blanks.

part 2:

i disagree with the photographers in part 1:category action with the first picture because i liked how the picture had leading lines and i also liked the photo because i havent really seen anything like it.

i agree with the photographers also in part 1:category action with the runners the picture was just all over the place you rally couldnt concentrate on it.

architechture preview assignment

surroundings(above):i belive that this is a "surroundings" because the building is naturally surrounded by the trees and plants.

patterns(above):this is patterns because the builing reapeats itself over again. also you have two differnt patterns going on here.

lighting(above):the reason i picked this photo is because i like the way the architechture of the building interacts with the light.also how the how the lighting is cresent shaped.

detail(above): this picture describes detail because the picture is wide. also its a close up photo of the buiding.

angles and shapes(above): this is a a angle and shape photo because the photo is took at a 90 degree angle also because of the triangle shapes that the wires make.
