In class, we made a mosaic out of a picture of ourself and put pictures of ourselves and pictures that relate to us in the mosaic.

The view from below.

The sky is a beautiful sight, always. But taking a picture of it makes it a little harder to catch it's beauty. In this picture, the sun was poking through the tree's and the sky was a little overcast and I was able to capture a nice picture of the leaves on the branches as well as the sky. This angle is "worms eye view", and I was able to capture a little more than just the sky itself.

Framing.

Shoes can make a good photo. The color, the detail, the designs, the texture, and so on. You can capture that easily but you can add more to make the picture stronger. In this picture, I chose "framing" because I was able to frame the shoe by the red bar and my jeans but the red in the shoe stands out more than the bar and it brings your eye more to the shoe.

Fill the Frame.

I chose "fill the frame" for this photo because there are enough rocks to where you are not focusing on anything else but them. I liked that one of the rocks stands out a little more than most and has purple and then there's a lot of repetition and a worms eye view since they're on the ground.

I chose these 3 pictures because they stood out most to me. The lock I chose because I like the colors and the white background with it. The rocks I chose because they all fill the frame and look good together. I chose the flower because it's stands out from the leaves.

All About Me

In photojournalism, we had an assignment called "All About Me". And we made a collage out of photos showing what represent us and what we like. In a few pictures, I have people who are very important to me such as my family, friends, and my dogs. In others, I have items that I love such as the beach: we go to New York every summer and the beach is my favorite part. Arizona Tea: I love this drink because it's sweet and I love mangos. My camera: I love photography and hope to be one and I bought a new camera recently and I can't wait to really use it. Sushi: I love sushi. It's healthy and I think it's delicious. It's one of my favorite foods and something I crave a lot. The Vampire Diaries: A TV show about vampires and a girl that is in love with both of them. Definitely one of my addictions. My tattoo: It's a symbol of me being free to be who I am and to love and accept that about myself.

I got this image from google and I chose it because you can see the other plane and the damage it did in just two pictures. It evokes such a strong emotion to me because if the other plane hadn't hit, the other building would have been safe and the first image and second image show how long after the second plane hit because the fire in the second image where as in the first image, it's only smoking then.

I haven't seen anything on TV recently but I have seen pictures on the internet lately. It's terrifying really. I could never imagine having someone I love in there or myself and how scary that would be for your life to just be gone like that. I believe the media gives it just enough attention because it'll be the whole day to recognize the day but they don't carry it out for days or weeks.

I remember I was at school and my mom came and picked me and my brothers up and I really had no idea what was happening. I remember being scared because my dad's family lives up there but I wasn't that impacted by it because I was just 6 and I didn't understand. I learned that it was terrorists that were attacking but weren't really heading for NY but it still did happen and it is awful and so many peoples lives were impacted.

Some of the images can be a little too graphic but it really makes you understand how serious it was and makes you more emotional about it rather than not seeing anything and just hearing about it, it wouldn't have such a great impact. I do think the media chooses what to show on TV because they're the ones who decide.
