P.O.W #3

'Faith'

Reflection:  I took this picture with a school issued canon.  It was taken at 8:15 a.m with natural lighting.  I like that the sky has no clouds in it, but i dislike that there is a tree in the shot.  I would improve the angle.

I got the icture to be a square by taking a screen shot of the portion that would make it look like a square.   You can do that by pressing 'command, shift 4' at once.  I like tat the picture has the focus on what i wanted it to, the track, but i dislike that it isn't a straight picture.

Reflection: I like that the pictures all flow together. We made it at school with a canon.  The shutter speed was high and it took multiple pictures.

current event #2

A five year old girl named Nailla Robinson was kidnapped from her school in Philadelphia by a woman who introduced herself to Nailla as 'Tiffany'.  The police found that she was missing at about 3 p.m. on monday when a caretaker came to pick her up.  She was found just outside the city by a man who was walking down the street on Tuesday morning and heard a cry for help coming from under a jungle gym in a park.  Nailla was taken to the hospital to be checked out but is okay.

P.O.W. #2

'Its a small world'

Reflection

The thing I like about this photo is the background.  I really dislike the fact that the picture is blurry.  The person in this photo is my good friend Ayla, and it was taken in Michigan during the summer.  The camera was on the sunset setting and was taken at sundown.  If i could change one thing about this picture would be the crispness of it.

P.O.W #1

Beach Art

This photo was taken in the middle of the night with the flash of my camera on.  My camera setting was on action shot.  I couldn't think of anything to improve and i like that it was night when i took the picture.  I came across this set up while walking on the beach in Michigan at night with my friends, i thought it would make a good picture, which im my opinion, it has.

Current event

Texas public schools are allowed to require students to wear a locator chip while on the grounds of the school.  The decision to make students wear chips was ruled on Tuesday.  Judge Orlando Garcia said that the San Antonio North side School District was allowed to expel a certain sophomore because she refused to wear the chip, which everyone has to wear when on the school's property.

Ben Baltz's story

     Ben Baltz was diagnosed with bone cancer in his right leg at the age of six and had to have his leg amputated.  At the age of eleven, he competed in the Sea Turtle Tri Kids Triathlon.  During the running portion of the race, a screw in his prosthetic leg came loose and that led to his prosthetic leg breaking in half.  Marine Matthew Morgan couldn't just stand on the side lines and do nothing, so he carried Ben on his back for the rest of the race while other marines ran by their side.  At the end of the race Ben told his mother that he was embarrassed that he could not finish the race by himself, but his mom reassured him that that day was an inspiration to people everywhere.
