Kenny Gram #3

Sunshine
Reflection
I like this photo because of the the way the sun makes the statue look silhouetted.  I do not dislike anything about this photo.  It was taken on a school issued camera in the morning at school in front of the chapel.

I like this photo because Amanda looks happy.  I dislike this photo because the right side of her face has a shadow on it.  I took it with an iphone.  It was using indirect light.

Current event #2



A 9 year old girl crawled out of an SUV after she had been in a crash.  She walked a mile in the dark to  find help after the crash had killed her father.  They were in southern california.

The vehicle was launched 200 feet down an embankment on the Sierra Highway at about 1 a.m on sunday.  "She walked quite a distance in a very threatening environment" says CHP Sgt. Tom Lackey. I feel very bad for this little girl, she is so brave.

Photo of the week #1

Camp Immokalee
Reflection
This is a photo of my co-counselor blowing the horn to end a game of capture the flag boys vs girls that the girls had won.

I like this photo because its an action shot and you can really tell how enthused she is about winning.  I dislike this photo because it is a little blurry and there is someone in the background distracting from the main focal point.

 It was taken on an iphone at about five at night with natural lighting.  The location is Camp Immokalee in keystone heights.

Reflection

Current event #1


A 37 year old man from Russia was found with some 26,000 diamonds in his carry-on luggage.  The diamonds were worth at least $162,000 and were held in transparent plastic bags.

Russian federal custom agents say that he was transporting the jewels from Dubai.  I dont really know what to think about this story, but if they belonged to him, then i am all for him.

Fair Use Quiz

1.  Walk Disney Pictures
2.
3.  No because you aren't making another copy of the CD or DVD and selling that one, you are simply finished with the item and want to sell it to maybe be able to buy something else.
4.  I think the purpose of copyrighting is to be able to make money on a copy of something you still want to keep and use.
5.  If Paul didn't leave the people on his site access or a link to the original photographers website where he found the pictures, or if he didn't tell people who took the pictures, then yes he is infringing on the photographers copyright.
6.  When the owner gives you permission to do so.
7.  Says that portions of the piece can be used without copyright permission.
8.  It lets you have a say in how others can use your work.
9.  Its never acceptable.
10.  True, because you rented it and it doesn't matter who you let watch it, because for that time period you own it.
11.  When something is publicly available.
12.
13.  True, because he isn't getting permission from the original creator, and then he is putting it in his song as his own.
14.  It is automatic once you take the picture.  It can last 95-100 years.

P.O.W. #9


One happy dog

Reflection:
This is my dog lily waiting to be allowed to get on the trampoline.  She loves jumping on it everyday.  It was taken with an iphone in the middle of the day with natural lighting.

 I like this photo because of the contrast of the light sun hit leaves with the dark color of her fur.  I also like it because she just looks so happy to be able to jump again.  I dislike this photo because of how the outer bar of the trampoline doesn't go straight across the foreground.

Gladys the gorilla


Some zoo workers in Cincinnati are playing the role of this baby gorillas mother by wearing all black outfits, grunting affectionately, and imitating mother gorillas to help the baby adjust to a new home.  When she gets older, they will take it a step further and wear hairy vests and carry the baby gorilla on their backs.

"Whatever a gorilla mom would do with her baby s what we have to do with this baby" says Ron Evans who is the zoo's primate team leader.  Ron heads a team of 10 people who switch our every eight hours to provide 24 hour care.
