Deadlines, ARGHH
1. The origins of the word are uncertain, but we think it came from a term from prisoners in the Civil War, meaning a line the prisoners couldn't cross.
2. I will not get as good of a grade if I turn it in late, and while everyone might be having free time, I will be working.
3. Turning in late work always gets you points off, even if you did everything right.
4. I don't usually miss deadlines, but sometimes I do and there are consequences with that, but theres always some way to get extra credit so that doesn't really stop me from doing it lol.
5. I didn't miss the deadline.
6. uhhh not talk to friends and listen to music, focus.
1. Don't get sidetracked - yes, there are plenty of other things that I would love to do besides homework, and I really need to work on just turning my phone off and doing my homework.
2. The toughest one for me would to get a good night's rest. I love watching the walking dead and sometimes it's hard for to just get off and do things I need to do.
3. I'm definitely a morning person. The second I wake up, I'm stuck awake. But I also love sleeping in so...
3A. When I get home, I'm very tired and just want to chill out. I was I had a little bit more motivation to do my homework at night because I have so much more time rather than in the morning when I have to do everything.
4. Maybe the second after school I'll turn my phone off and work on homework.
5. Turn my phone off, put it in another room, drink an energy drink to keep me awake and focused.
1. I have so much time, but I love tv and being on my phone.
2. I love music because it motivates me, and I like to be warm and comfortable, etc. I hate being in a cold classroom.
3. my phone, my tv and just the thought that my friends are having parties and stuff and I'm doing homework.
4. turn my phone off, turn my tv off and know that I can have fun over the weekend and not stress about my grades.
Top 100 Photos of All Time
#1- Bloody Saturday
1. I like how the baby is sitting on the ground just watching the rummage on the ground like he can't do anything about it.
2. The baby's mother died in a bombing and and was laying dead on the tracks nearby. Wong quickly took the picture and helped bring the baby to safety.
3. The photo was viewed by over 136 million people, this picture was part of the start of world war 2.
4. in the second photo, you can see the child's father and the dead mother on the tracks.
5. H.s. (Newsreel) Wong
1900 - March 9, 1981
Japan? Doesn't say.
school ???
#2 - V-J in Times Square
1. I picked this image because it is very famous and I figured I should learn more about it. It is super romantic and adorable.
2. Eisenstaedt was on a mission "to find and capture a storytelling moment," being one of LIFE magazine's first photographers and saw a soldier grab a nurse in the middle of the street and kiss her.
3. LIFE magazine put together a collage of all the different cities where the soldiers kissed different girls.
4. the second photo I picked by Eisenstaedt was a photo of Marilyn Monroe in front of a fence I'm guessing; I picked it because she is very beautiful and her stare is mesmerizing.
5. Alfred Eisenstraedt
December 6, 1898 - August 23, 1995
Dirschau (Tczew) in West Prussia, Imperial Germany
school ???
#3 - Famine in Somalia
1. This photo hurt my heart to look at it. These are real people - people who could have grown up and became these amazing creatures, but they are simply limited by the lack of food in their country.
2. Nachtwey couldn't get the assignment, so he went on his own. He brought back the pictures and showed them to Time magazine, they were haunted and impressed.
3. The photo is of a woman waiting to be wheeled to a feeding center. She is obviously too weak to walk.
4. The second photo is a very skinny, sick boy getting an IV I'm guessing.
5. James Nachtwey
March 14, 1948 - present
Massachusetts
Dartmouth College
#4 - Alan Kurdi
1. I picked this image because the story behind it is super emotional. The boy who is dead laying on the beach is what caught my eye.
2. The boy plus his mother and younger brother were on their way to make a 3 mile journey in an inflatable boat to get out of the War in Syria. They left off of the coast of Turkey and headed for the Greek island Kos.
3. The war by the time the photographer had taken the photo, 220,000 people had been killed.

#5 - 1. I picked this image because I think it is beautiful. Earth is such an interesting planet.
2. It was on December 24, 1968, exactly 75 hours, 48 minutes and 41 seconds after the Apollo 8 spacecraft lifted off from Cape Canaveral en route to becoming the first manned mission to orbit the moon.
3. It was the first photo of the earth.

5 websites
Website #1
http://blog.ted.com/how-to-create-a-killer-timelapse-with-joe-capra/
This website made me realize a lot of things. One, new years isn't stupid. Two, photography takes talent, time. You need to learn different types of photography. Three, equipment isn't an excuse. TAKE PHOTOS. I feel very inspired for this new year coming up to try new things. No more excuses. AND don't be afraid to post them for fear of ridicule.
My favorite tip in here is this one:
"But the gear does not make the photographer. When someone says, “I could take photos like too that if I had your fancy camera,” hand them your camera. Go ahead. They usually snap one or two photos (if that), panic and hand it back. It’s not about the gear itself, it’s knowing how to use it to create the vision you see in your head."
It made me realize I have no excuse for my lack of taking photos. I need to practice.
Website #4
http://blog.ted.com/how-to-create-a-killer-timelapse-with-joe-capra/
On this website I watched a timelapse video that Joe made when he was sent to Rio with a promotion from Panasonic. I also read about his interview with the reporter and his answer are absolutely beautiful. You can tell he's a very educated person. He knows what he's doing. He encourages anyone who is interested to start doing timelapse photography because, "I think it appeals because it's something that you can't see or experience with your own eye. Even if you stand in the same spot for three hours, you don't notice the changes that happened in that time. It has to be shot, and you have to see it in video format to actually enjoy it."
questions:
a: The video is timelapses the photographer, Joe Capra took of Rio on a trip promoted by Panasonic.
b: Joe Capra took the video, he said he used to do just regular photography but when he saw a video that someone did of timelapses he wanted to try it, too.
c: The story is just the interview he had with the journalist; his answers to the questions
d: timelapse is an actual form of photography, I thought it was just for fun.

This photo really affected me because it used to say 13,000 years but now she had to cross it out and say "deceased" because, I figured, of what we do to our environment. Plus to photo is so simple, but the caption is what kills you. You look at it and it just hurts you.

American Soldier
A. I think the most powerful image is the one with the boys looking into the mirror.
B. Everything tells a story of how being in the army is really hard and is very hard to cope with. I feel as though the photographer wants to give the world empathy.
C. The captions make you informed on what is going on in the pictures so that you can understand what the picture actually means.
D. Ian Fisher was recruited to the army in June of 2007. His recruiting commander said he was doing it for, "for God and country." Drill Sergeant Eldridge got attached to Fisher because he was a such good kid. Fisher has faced many difficulties with his personal life, friends, and his recent wife, Devin. “Maybe it’s about learning to soldier up and do your job in life. Maybe that’s what a real soldier is,” he said. Being in the army has taught him many things about life, including how to be a soldier.
E. It is in present tense.F.
1. 1-3
2. names and who they are. basic needed info about the pic
3. a little more detail about the picture, not crucial info
4. a quote
5. Yes
6. yes
G. Pictures tell a thousand words.
H. Some people are more visual and others like to use their own imagination. I believe some stories need pictures to go along with it so the reader has a starting place for their imagination and from there on they can picture everything happening on their own. But I also believe that you can easily tell a story with just pictures. It gives the reader space to interpret things on their own.

Self Portrait and Portraits
tips
- introduce a prop
- frame your subject
- add movement
Environmental Portrait
I like this photo and I picked it because it gives me emotion and makes me wonder about what they are doing, thinking, etc.
I picked this photo because it also has emotion. It's not just a guy sitting at a coffee shop, you can see that there is something on his mind.
Casual Portrait
I picked this photo because it's honestly really cute, but I really like the colors in it, her bright red gums and lips bring a lot into the photo.
I picked this photo because she is very serious. It's obviously posed, but it still gives you emotion and makes you wonder why she's so serious?
Self portraits
I really like this one because it has motion and gives the photo emotion and action.
This is something like I wanted to do with mine, create a "ghost" of you in the background. I really like this one because of the ghost.
Self Portrait plan -
My plan for my self portrait is to do something more abstract, more out of the ordinary. I really like the idea of making "a ghost" of me in the background and just put it on a low shutter speed and move a little bit. I have a blank white wall at my house, but I think it would look way cooler if I set up a black sheet and put the flash on the camera, that will give me even more of the blurred version of me in the background.
