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.

cover history
in forest of words(below):at this time the designers were just trying to intrigue thier readers with big intense pictures and lots of vivid headlines.once the 21st century hit cover lines were really impotant; they were just as important as the cover art itself.some covers of this time period actually had cover lines bigger than the cover title itself.but powerful pictures were hardly enough to catch the attention anymore ( like half naked women ) because sometimes the cover lines were so big and distracting they would intrude with the picture.
pictures married to type(below):in this time is when cover lines really started to appear in magazines.also this is when artist started to figure out how to really capture a readers eye in the magazines.most of the magazines have the model covering up the title name or something of the model covering up the name.
the poster cover(above):from 1890's-1960's the poster cover was the most popular;now it wasnt the only cover but it iver ran every other cover.this cover published so many covers on so many covers of alot of magazines.many of these covers of these over-sized magazines looked as if they were meant to be posted in a frame.most of these poster covers from the 1890-1940 didnt even relate to what any of the stories had to say they just pictured a season or a mood.
early magazine cover(above):when magazines first started they really sisnt even have covers they just had an opening page and a title and that was basically thier title. when the early magazine first started they tried to make thier "covers" look like book covers.unlike magazines now they didnt have any contens on the page telling them what your were going to be reading in the magazine.it wasnt until 1844 that they started to get illustrations on the cover.covre lines began to appear on covers in the later 1800's.

2009 in review
best photo of 2009( above )in my opinion this was the best photo because it shows that not only adults are into music but so are little kids.
biggest story of year: micheal jacksons death ( above ) of course once micheal jackson died that was the biggest story. i mean he was the prince of pop ( am i right ) i mean for like a whole month they played nothing but micheal jackson songs. so pretty much once the death of this artist happened it was the most tragic things that happened.
best movie: hangover ( above )
I loved the movie hangover because it was reallt funny. i loved how just one situation always leads to another. MOst of all i like that this movie keeps you laughing the whole time.

PLAN FOR PORTRAIT ASSINGNMENT
1.) ALTER YOUR PERSPECTIVE:
Most portraits are taken with the camera at (or around) the eye level of the subject. While this is good common sense – completely changing the angle that you shoot from can give your portrait a real WOW factor.
2.) EXPERIMENT WITH LIGHTING:
Another element of randomness that you can introduce to your portraits is the way that you light them. There are almost unlimited possibilities when it comes to using light in portraits.
Side-lighting can create mood, backlighting and silhouetting your subject to hide their features can be powerful.
3.)TAKE A SERIES OF SHOTS:
Switch your camera into ‘burst’ or ‘continuous shooting’ mode and fire off more than one shot at a time.
In doing this you create a series of images that could be presented together instead of just one static image.
This technique can work very well when you’re photographing children – or really any active subject that is changing their position or pose in quick succession.
MY SUBJECT:
I chose my subject to be my friend Amber or i want a picuture of people laughing together almost like a family momment.
WHERE I AM SHOOTING:
I want to take the photo of my subject at the big rock in front of the cafeteria by the big tree. My plan for this portrait is to take a picture of her from an angle ( possibly from a down angle ) and i either want her looking straight at the camera or looking out of the frame.
TO MAKE THE SHOOT SUCCESSFUL:

WHAT MAKES A GOOD PICTURE:
TO MAKE A GOOD PHOTO I THINK THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING WACKY IN YOUR PHOTO WELL NOT REALLY WACKY BUT YOU JUST DONT WANT YOUR SUBJECT LOOKING STRAIGHT AT YOU AND IF THE SUBJECT IS YOU WANNT THEM DOING SOMETHING LIKE IN THE PROFFESSIONAL PICTURE I PICKED. I ALSO THINK THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE JUST A PLAIN BACK ROUND. IF YOU DONT TO ME THE BACK ROUND NEEDS BE FILLED IF ITS NOT PLAIN. I WANT TO TAKE PICTURES LIKE THE ONES ABOVE SIMPLE AND GOOD OR FUN AND COLOFUL.

photos of year 2009
I picked this photo because i like how the pictures and the boots are lined up and what these people did for the fallen soliders as in they put there portraits up so there loved ones can go see there loved one that fought for this country just as this family is doing. IN this photo the photographer used the rule of repetition.
I dont know why i just like this picture because of the angle that it is at and how the lighting is on the subject.Also i like how the subjecy was caught in the air and not positioned on the ground. The photographer used angleing in this photo and the rule of thirds. 
The reason for me picking this photo is because to me it has sentimental value in a way because all those people gathered there for a reason. The photograher used the backround rule for this picture because its just plain black and in a way i feel as if he used the repetition rule.1.)my most favorite memory of the holiday was being with my freinds but i think i spent a little to much time with them.
2.)on new years i went to my church because the teens had a party and i know that that sounds boring because i mean people think how much fun can you have at a church but trust me we had a lot of fun.
3.)when i look back at 2009 when im old and at the age of 225 i wont really think of certain events because i know that i had a great year and one thing i know i will look back on though is all the great freinds i had that year and hoping i wil have them forever also that i got to the 9th grade and knowing that i will complete the rest of my high school years.
