Merger Photo Preview
1. i think the shadows could be a problem because some of the shadows in the photo are completely cut off and one doesn't even have a shadow and it gives the photo away that it was taken at the same time.
2. I think in front of a brick wall or a solid back ground that cannot move.
3. You could do different jumps or running across the screen or area of the photo taken
4. Something tight that does not move to give away the different photos and something dark to not give away the lighting of the camera/sun on the shirt.

HDR Photography
1. You will have to change the shutter speed so you can have many different pictures with different lighting so when they are mashed together they form a dark or light picture.
2. You will need a camera, a tripod to make sure the photos aren't blurry for when you need to take the photo at a low shutter speed.
3. They might wanna take a HDR photo to make the surrounding are like a painting and not like a photo and make it seem unrealistic.
4. You might see sun streaks in the sky like in many examples that will not show up in just one photo. And with many photos that are infocus can make the picture really in focus that can make small things more clear that you cannot see in just one photo.

My Opinion Story
Foreign Aid
Money sent by foreign aid can help the economy in a
developing country and their poverty. Schools, better structure for government,
and businesses can all be built with foreign aid. The United I believe foreign aid is very helpful to a poor country
and some countries should get more foreign aid.
With the new president Donald
Trump making threats and passing new laws to prevent immigrants from coming
illegally into the United States, the developing countries need more money to
prevent their people from leaving. Many people leave their country to find a
job and get a better life, and with the foreign aid the countries can get a
better economy so their people can stay in their country.
Along with
that since many people living here that are illegal are being sent back to
where they came from they are going to a place with danger, violence and
poverty. Them being sent back endangers their children
unless money or foreign aid can help the government have better structure and
control of their country.
34 million
dollars are given to Guatemala as foreign aid to help them out of the 35
billion dollars the US donates as a whole. While there is a possibility that
some of the countries use the money in the wrong way, many other countries such
as Guatemala depend and rely on the money in order to keep their economy alive
and running for just one more day.
Guatemala,
Mexico, Haiti, Colombia, Honduras and El Salvador are some of the Central
American and Latin American countries that are provided a tiny amount of money
to help them economically, but are reliable trading partners with the USA.
These countries provide the US with resources that we use every day and the
United States can do a lot more by providing them with more money to not have
them not be developing countries anymore. It can be a bigger and better thank you
for what they do for us.
Starbucks
is a popular drink place where many people go to get a good cheap cup of
coffee. Brazil, Colombia, Vietnam and Indonesia are some of the United States
largest and biggest coffee bean traders and sellers. All of those countries are
considered developing countries and none of them get more than 400 million
dollars to help the economy improve their living and poverty. And yet they give
us something a lot of people need and want every day.
Many people
and families that live in Guatemala get paid less than 1 dollar a day to pay
for food, water and shelter. Along with not getting paid very much the families
tend to have 3 or more children living at the house. Money sent by the United
States can bring new job opportunities for a steady income even though many
people cannot read or write.
Schools and
education cost roughly 25 dollars to buy and pay for books, about 30% of all
Guatemalans cannot read or write because they cannot afford the expenses. With the help of foreign aid many banks such
as the Grameen Bank can be built to give out loans to people who are in
desperate need of help. Loans can help a
family begin a new life and start a new business if the loans are paid off and
the business does well.
Foreign aid
can pay for medicines and doctors’ offices for children who become sick in the
poor working and environmental conditions. 19 out of a thousand children die
because of the poor conditions people in Guatemala live in, most only have
concrete walls a wooden roof and some rugs to sleep on. Better health by having
doctors and a better home will lower the amount of deaths of children and will
increase their survival.
One million
dollars could be the life of death of some people in developing countries. With
the help from the US government by giving more, or even you by donating at
charities can help those in need. Even if you don’t own much, a little bit can
go a long way.

Nut Graf
A Nut Graf is the second paragraph or part to the story line. The first paragraph or intro talks about the main points of the story and gives the reader a good sense of what the story is going to be about and background information about the story. The nut graf is a summary of what happened in the situation and why the story is so important. It is not very long, maybe 2 paragraphs. It gives the reader a sense of what happened while the first paragraph explains wha the situation is.
A nut Graf is important because it is what grabs the reader and makes them want to read more to find out about the story. It has facts and important resources of where you got your information but the most important thing is to not give the ending of the story away. The point is to draw the reader in not make them stop by spoiling the ending. Another thing the nut graf does is answer any questions the reader might have while reading the story to make sure they fully understand what is going on.

Video Analysis
PART ONE
Video #1 A. Sam Adams
B. Biking
C. Didn't like where some of the objects where placed in photos, wish there was more action in some, bad lighting, photos don't look realistic
D. Liked Shadow and jay walker in 2 photos
E. The photos were ok, some of the photos didn't do anything for me and didn't grab my attention. The subject in some of the photos were not clear to me.
Video #2
A. Justin Mott
B. Poverty
C. Wished the emotion in some could have been more grabbing, some photos had bad intentional blur, some photos were confusing and didn't know what they were looking at.
D. Some photos had really good emotion, like how the photographer was trying new things with his photos, good composition, mood and light
E. I liked this photographer because he could really capture and tell the story of poverty in other countries and doesn't shoot the ordinary things in life.
Video #3
A. Melissa Golden
B. Old People & Make Up Day
C. Out of focus, missed important parts of photos, too much stuff in the background, distracting power lines in photos
D. Good portrait photo, captures full story in photo
E. I did not like the photographer because it took them a very long time to actually present and show their theme and story. Many photos were boring and never got any of my attention from them.
Video #4
A. Carlos Delgado
B. Hardships and Hard Times
C. Cluttered background, exposure of colors are too bright, can't see faces
D.
E. Many photos were very cluttered with items in the background or foreground. Levels of composition in colored photos were too bright. Many items in photo seemed unrealistic.
2A. Nice color composition, photographer seems to be doing activities along with the people in the photos. very creative
2B. I liked how the photographer really got into the action and wasn't afraid to get dirty. He made the viewers feel like they are in that moment and experiencing that time in the past.
3A. The looked at the story line and if the photographer followed their story or if the story was easily noticeable. They also looked to see if the portfolio was put together nicely and flows with the story. Along with that they made sure no photos were fillers to make the portfolio seem really long.
PART TWO
2. I did not agree with the women being attacked by the goose. The photo didn't make me feel anything and didn't make me want to look at it many different times. The sumo wrestler should have been first because there was line sin the photo from the escalator and also had emotion from other people in the photo. And it made me want to know more about the story and makes me have a lot of questions about the situation.

Architecture Preview #1
Hundertwasserhaus, Germany
1. Artist- Friedensreich Hundertwasser
2. Built in the 1990s
3. Located in Darmstadt, Germany
4. It is a private property and not open for visitors
5. Does not say how much it cost
6. It was created like a onion domes that has many different layers to the building
7. I chose this building because germany to me is a country that has many unique items in it and is something really different and interesting to me. I also really like anything with nature because nature to me is something really important so i like seeing building that promote the growth of plants and nature. One of my favorite eye catchers or eye line is the spiral because it is something that my eyes draw to and love looking at in pictures or stair cases in building. Both nature and spirals are in the title of the building so that is why i chose it.
Eden Project, United Kingdom
1. Nicholas Grimshaw
2. Completed in 2000s
3. Cornwall, England
4. No it is not private, it is a very popular visitor attraction
5. Cost 141 million euros to build
6. It preserves and helps plants to grow and is a mini forest inside two domes
7. I chose this building because i am a Christian and the building is called Eden so i though it was going to be centered around god and his first creation of humans like a church. Along with that in the bible it has a story about The Garden of Eden so i also though the building was going to be covered in trees and mosses and look like a hill but is actually a building. And I have been to the UK before and it is very lush and green over there and is really foggy so I knew the building was going to be around trees but also in a place that created a lot of fog to give the building a haunted look.
Krzywy Domek, Poland
1. Szotynscy and Zaleski
2. Built in 2004
3. Sopot, Poland
4. No it is not private
5. Does not say how much it cost
6. The house was built based on the fairytale of Jan Marcin
7. I chose this house out of the other because the name of the building kind of sounds like crazy so I was thinking the house was going to be different and unique. I have neighbors that were born in Poland and they go there every summer so I thought it would be interesting to see what they see every time they go up to Poland. I also thought it would be cool to have something in common that my neighbors may not know about since this building is in the top 50 most strange buildings.
The Longaberger Company, USA
1. Dave Longaberger
2. Company started in 1973
3. Dresden, Ohio
4. Yes it is private since it is a business
5. Does not say how much it cost
6. The house was built because the company sells wooden baskets
7. My aunt and my mom both have a Longaberger basket that they use when we want to carry something or hold something at the grocery store so I wanted to see what the company building looked like. Because I knew what the company made as a product I knew they had been around for a long time and will continue to be around for a long time. The company/building is also in the United States so it was cool that the US had something unique to offer.
Cubic Houses, Netherlands
1. Piet Bolm
2. 1974 and in 1977
3. Rotterdamn and Helmon in the Netherlands
4. Yes it is private, they are homes
5. Does not say the cost of building
6. One house represents one tree so all the houses combined represent a forest. The idea for the cubes was to save space but have lots of room to for comfort inside.
7. When I first read the title "Cubic Houses" it really confused me because I couldn't how a house that was a cube could be so unique and out of the world. My house studied abroad in the Netherlands so she got to visit there and said that it was really pretty and amazing to see, so I thought I would get a look at what made it so unique.

Sensory Overload
1. I think this statement is very accurate because the people we surround our selves with our the items we buy at the store defines us and tells people what our personality is. And as we buy more things because of our personality that is how the environment will look like. So i would agree with this statement. This quote makes me feel like our picture we take are like the objects or devices we buy and the pictures help shape what the environment is like.
2. I would want to visit this place because i went to a flea market in Hawaii and it looked very similar to the photos on the website.
3. If i were a child i think it would be very hard to grow up with the ability to want and by things because the competition for the parents to sell their items is very hard because there is so many people selling stuff at the same time.
4. My favorite photo is the one where the shop has a bunch of China and good plates. But what i really like about it is that there is a little girl and her mom sitting at a table with calculators and papers around her and it looks like the little girl is doing her homework. i like the shop because the colors are not too overwhelming to where you can't see anything but just enough brightness to catch your eyes.

Celeste Hermes. this quote came from the middle of the story when she was describing her horse, it made me want to read more about their friendship and experiences together.
Yes the leading sentence made me want to keep reading because it had a lot of imagery of the hooves beating against the ground, it makes you wonder what is happening.
Science Fair Rules On Campus:

The winner of the bowie science fair was Connor Larkin in the computer science category for "Wife Signals Strength Through Different Building Materials and Humidity." the winners of the science fair were called up one by one for their awards according to the project category.

Quote " Honestly I did not have fun doing the project but I like how it turned out" Alex Paulson. This quote is in the middle of the story and it is good because it made u want to read about how kids don't like the science fair but they like how it turned out.
I believe the sentence starter for this article as ok, it could have grabbed me in a little better by not starting off by talking about the science fair and the date.
Inherit Fortunes with Netflix's "A Series of Unfortunate Events":
About the cast of a series of unfortunate events and the story line. The series was released on netflix on Friday the 13 and is about a family with unordinary traits live in their orphanage after their parents died in a fire. One girl has sharp teeth and can cut anything and another one has the brains of a genus. It is based off a book by Snicket and his 13 book series.
Who- Narrator of book, Cast of A Series of Unfortunate Events
What- The new Netflix TV series
When- Friday the 13
Where- Netflix
Why - A very popular TV show and is based off a 13 series long book and has a very interesting plot that people haven't seen before
How- They get the peoples attention in the beginning of the shows by have a theme song for each episode after one book.
Who was quoted- Justine Lockhart
The most interning part of the story was paragraph 4 when they were describing the characters and what they do and how they are special and different then anyone else.
I don't believe the beginning sentence is a good one and makes me want to read more because if someone was actually interested in reading a happy story they might actually skip the story and read something else.
The photo on B7 is the eye catcher, it is the main photo on the page because it is the biggest. The yoyo in the picture creates lines in the photo because the string is catching your eyes first in the left corner of the photo. The photo really shows how good of a yoyoer he is.
I see lines in the photo with his shirt and the yoyo its self.
The boy Matthew Lane is the main subject of the story.
The photo is in black and white so i don't know if it is exposed properly, but it is in focus and even when its in black and white its not bright enough to where u cant see it but not dark enough its black.
Shallow depth of field because the boy and the yoyo is the only thing in the photo.
The photo in A2 that i chose is the one where

Front Pages of the Magazine
1. I liked the Post Star from Glens Falls New York because the focal point of the magazine is the picture placed directly in the middle of the newspaper. The stories are also very easy to follow and easy to see were they start and end and the separation of each story.
2. The most interesting headline in the newspaper is the one that is titled "Drugs Have Vanished From Some VA Hospitals." I am interested in it because it is a really big deal to have drugs gone missing and i want to know how it happened and what people are going to do to catch who ever did it or fix the problem.
3. There are 4 stories posted on the front of this magazine
4. Most of them are very similar to the yearbook designs. The all mostly have a main photo that catches peoples eye that is bigger then everything else. The titles are bigger then the text to draw attention to it. Along with having a main photo each story has a small photo to go along with it and has something to do with the story being told.
5. Some front pages are mainly photographs and others are mainly text. Some front pages have different adds for other companies and coupons attached to them too. Some newspapers have quotes bolded in the stories told by people and other stories don't include that.
