1.Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That’s part of the point, after all.

Predictin Relationships Within The Frame
A great deal of people photography is understanding human nature and being aware of how people usually react in given situations. If someone is sitting in a café he will usually look up when the waiter approaches. People will generally smile when they see a baby or open a present. Crowds rise when a batter smashes a ball that looks like it's headed for the seats. Think about the situation you are photographing and how people are likely to act in it. Then prepare yourself for the moment.

You can create an especially revealing self-portrait by adding personal memorabilia surrounding your mirrored image, such as photos of yourself at various stages of your life, or anything that tells the viewer about your interests. Besides a mirror, a window can sometimes offer a reflective surface for you to capture your own image.

I liked this picture because it has a lake of cranberry juicy. Its uses the rule of thirds. The sky looks cool. The whole picture is focused.

 This is another cool picture since it looks good, theres nobody in the booths or around the subject except his coffee and merchandise. With a serious look.

This is a cool picture cause its a self portrait and its famous. It is the mona lisa.

I thought this was a cool self portrait because of the way his hair looks. It looks
really good in this photo.


I plan on taking portraits of me first, then moving on to my friend Israel Cruz. We will be taking these portraits at Akins highschool. We will take good pictures, good expressions, etc.

I liked this picture because i thought it was a good picture, on how alot of people dont have enough money to get where they want. So they are willing to sit on a dangerous spot like this woman.









This is a cool picture that i liked cause its a car flying in the air. Going fast.











This was also a cool picture. Because it shows a human skeleton in the middle of a building which is cool.










Grape by young jeezy,cause it had a cool beat and lyrics.















Toy story 3

The most important event of the year was the bp oil spill in the gulf of mexico, it caused so many problems.

Final Exam Review

1. To get the server drives,You click the server drive icon in the desktop. Then you will see other drive in the my computer.

2. We use blogger to make our blogs that we do in class.

3. We got an oatmeal can that we bought for ourselves. Then we put a square in the middle. We emptyed the oatmeal can, put paper and taped the inside, then we taped the lid so no light would go through. Put foil over the square that we cut through the box.

4. The image is transfered by leting the foil reveal into the little square. When you have a white sheet in the oatmeal, you open the foil square, then the light will come in and  make a photo of what it sees depending on how many seconds you let the light through.

Abandoned Theme Parks

If i was to go to an abandoned amusment park with my camera, i would go to
the Russian Village, in Niigata Japan. One because it is in Japan. But the other is because
it was on a big piece of land which means more stuff to do. It has a hotel, life size statues of mammoths, a church where people got married, and a golf course. Which would be good ideas to take photos of.



1. San Zhi, Taiwan is an abandoned vacation resort.
2.
4. nothing has done a documentery, it was abandoned for some fatal accidents.
5. it would be fun, maybe scary but we would never know. Its just cool to be at a place that was just abandoned. They would be some good photos to take since everything was left how it was.
6. i would need money to take, a good camera, food, a plane ticket, film, my chemicals, i would understand the composition rules.
