American Soldier

A. This is the most powerful image to me because it shows how hard it is to be in the military. They have to sleep in uncomfortable looking sleeping bags, and wake up early in the morning. B. The images are in chronological order from his life before the military, to during, to when he goes to Iraq, and then to when he gets home. C. The captions enhance the photograph because it tells you what you're looking at, and the background to the picture. D. Ian Fisher was a kid who got into a lot of fights at school, and was rowdy growing up. But, when it was time to graduate high school, instead of going to college, he went to the military.

Ethics in fashion photography

1. They lifted her head higher up on her neck, they made her hair look thicker, they made her eyes and eyebrows look bigger, and they made her face thinner. 2. They made her eyes and eyebrows bigger, they made her neck longer, they made her skin tone lighter, they made her legs longer, they made her feet longer, and they made her thinner. 3. The model was made bigger, and then they made her skin tone brighter and yellow, then finally they made her bra pepperoni, and then they turned her into pizza. 4. No it's not ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this because they changed everything about the way the person looks, and it is almost false advertising. 5. Yes, if they showed before and after pictures, that would be more ethically wrong because they would be saying the product could make you look like the model after photoshop. 6. The changes that were ok is making the model's legs longer to make her seem taller. 7. In fashion photography, th

This is my grandpa, in this picture, he's looking at a nice looking girl.  After this was taken, my grandpa walked up to the girl and said, "Sup shawty, let me holla at you for a minute". This old man is with his girlfriend in the picture. His girlfriend (on the left)  is 24 years old and the man (on the right) is 97 years old. They've been together ever since the man has won the lottery. This picture is taken of my Great Uncle Sal looking at a magazine. Before the photo was taken, he seemed to be enjoying the cover girl of the magazine, so we told him, "Hey Sal, you can see her butt if you turn the magazine around!" He then turned the magazine around to find out if this was true.

Mural Project preview

1. Three topics we could take pictures of could be sports, nature, and activities. 2. You have to think about the aperture you're using, the shutter speed, and the ISO. However, while you're thinking about this, you should be thinking of what you're taking a picture of. 3. We could put our pictures on a powerpoint, on a prezi, or we could put them on our blogs.

1. I picked this image because I was wondering what was happening in this picture because people were carrying a gorilla. 2. In this picture people are carrying a silverback gorilla, Senkwekwe, in the air. Before this picture was taken, a fight broke out between park rangers and people illegally harvesting wood. During this fight, the gorilla, Senkwekwe, was unfortunately killed. 3. The picture is supposed to represent the fact that although the gorilla isn't a human at all, he looks like a human in the picture because he's being carried off in a stretcher. After this photo was published, 9 African countries signed a binding treaty to protect the gorillas. 4   5. Brent Stirton was born in South Africa in 1969. He was a self-taught photographer that did not attend any photography school or college.
