Protraits&&Self Protrait Tips&&Ideas

I liked these pictures because there very interesting and catched my eyes. There very unique and odd at the same time. But I like them. I picked them since all the other photos weren't that interesting to me.




I like these pictures because there very complex and there not just like any photos ive seen before. There unique in every way and the subject is in a unsual place but still are great photos. I picked them becuase of there unique style and creativeness.    










I like these photos becuase even though they are casual they are still strong and very interesting. Meaning just because there casual there still interesting to me.



For my portraits I want to take them of someone else; of who I don't really know right now. I just know there not going to be of me. And I hope there better than the ones from my previces shooting. My plan to make my photos come out the best they can is to make sure my photos are in focus and have the right amount of light.

Transition from 2010 to 2011

I like this picture because is sad and touching. This a picture you can just look at and already know what is happening without seeing a caption. It's a picture that tells a story without words. The story is as people see it.

I like this photo because it shows how one minute an object could one thing then the next it is nothing. Such as the car, it was once a moving vechile now it seems that it is nothing. In just a short amount of time it was demolished.            http://totallycoolpix.com/2010/12/top-100-sports-pictures-of-2010/   (#21)



I like this picture because it's very interesting to see. To me it's as if im there, i'm the one taking the photo. Becuase looking at her facial expression and the point from which the photographer took the picture. I can't really explain why I enjot looking at the picture, I just do.





Part 2

Best Song of 2010?

In my opinion the best song of 2010 was "Unthinkable" by Alicia Keys. To me that song was very original and many people enjoyed to hear it. And it was played through out the whole year, never getting old, in my opinion.



Best movie of 2010?

I think the best movie of 2010 was "Alice in Wonderland." It was very interesting to see how the people from the 21st century changed the old tale. It evolved in every way. It was also cool to see how they animation interact with the actors. To me it was the best movie of 2010.






Best news story?

The biggest story, I think of 2010 was the giant oil spill in the gulf of Mexico. It was very tragic but at the ame time interesting to see all these people from everywhere come together to help, and clean up. It also was very devastating to know that that happen not that far away from us.












Most important person of 2010?

The most important person of 2010, to me is Betty White. I know that sounds funny but to me she has made a huge come back. For a while she wasn't doing nothing and now shes on everything. She has always been around but now she is heading to the top again, in my opinion.



Most important sports news?

To me I don't really know anything about sports but I think whats very interesting is how Dallas cowboys haven't been wining that many games. Because most times people are so proud of their cowboys, now you don't ever really hear nothing from those cowboys lovers.



This break I really didn't do nothing but stay with family which was awsome because I saw some people I haven't seen in years so it was realy fun sharing my break with family. Also on my break my birthday past. It was a boring birthday but I got a camera which was awsome because I love taking photos so this will help me, I hope. This year I want to be more open and have more fun then I did last year. Last year was okay but very fast, it was too fast I did'nt even get to have fun.

Choice Sheets

I think I see myself in Yearbook, because I'm not really into writing about people. I would rather take pictures and put them together as a yearbook. But then again I don't know what i want to do next year. I might not even take this class to be honest. I probably will try something else then maybe if all fails ill come back to this.

Abandoned Theme Parks

{Unable to get the photo}

The place I would want to go to is Takakanonuma Greenland, Japan. The reason that I picked that place was because I think its would be interesting to see an old theme park fall apart in the hills of Fukushima, located in Japan. It seem very interesting not only because its a foreign country but because I think it would be nice to see how the forest is trying to take back control of the land.
Other places I would enjoy to go to is old ghost town with old movie theaters,falling apart schools, and old antique stores. Another place would probably be Seattle. Not only because its a beautiful city but because supposedly there is a town right under the city. It would probably the only place i could take photos at, because I have family there and all I would need to do is go and take a camera with me. To me it would be very fascinating to go underground and take pictures of what use to be a city.

Portraits and self-portraits

 <><>
<>
<><>
I think a good photo should have an interesting subject. Something that isn't natural. To me a picture is like a movie, it shows you what you don't see on a regular baises. An image lets your mind wonder. It makes you think and actually give you different prespective. To me a good picture should have some sort of feeling, or an image that triggers the viewers imagination.
My next photos I take I want to be a portrait of someone. Someone who can bring an intresting story to the camera. I want my next 12 shots to be better than my last, but I also want them to have feeling. Also I want them to be clear,and  visable to everyone.
