Reflection

I like this photo because of the pillars.  I dislike it because of the carpet.  I took it with a school issued camera in the morning with natural lighting. 

Current Event #6

An example of the new whiteboards

A Minnesota school lost two students in 2003 due to a shooting.  To make the school safer for teachers and students they installed bullet proof white boards.

The school received nearly 200 18x20 whiteboards, which are made of a material that is stronger than that in police issued vests.  The boards will act as shields in any emergency.

"We put this board to the test, and quite frankly, that was the day I became a believer" said Chief Jones.  I think that the boards are a very good idea, but i feel as though they would benefit more if the boards were bigger.

This is a photo of the 100 building's second entrance.  I like this photo because of the trees, i dislike it because it is a little crooked.  It was taken with a school issued camera during the morning.  I took it with natural lighting.

Current Event #5

An eleven year old boy saved his mothers life my dialing 911 then performing CPR.  He found his mother unconscious after he got home from school Friday.

He followed the 911 instructors directions to save his mothers life.  The police then came and took over CPR until the paramedics arrived.

I think this little boy is very brave and mature.  He kept his calm during the whole thing, which is how he was able to save his mothers life.

Photo of the week #4

'Dogs'

This is a picture of my puppies on the day we adopted them from the pound 

'Couple together/love'

 This is a photo I took at a wedding I went to this past weekend.  I like how the new bride and groom are in between the brides mother and father.

'Path in the woods'

 I took this photo while working a paintball birthday party for a little boy at camp immokalee.

'Someone sitting alone'

 This is a photo I took over the summer of my mother sitting on the beach, alone, in Michigan.

'Path'

This is the sidewalk in front of my families cottage in Michigan.  The little kids next door to us got creative on a summer day.

Mo walking down the hallway

Reflection
I like that this photo is clear and that mo is in the middle of the isle.  I dislike that the support beams are off centered.  I took this photo with a school issued camera at 8 in the morning on a rainy friday.

Current Event #4

The girls that saved their father

A man from Oregon was trapped under a 3,000 pound tractor  and his two daughters managed to just lift it off of him.  He said he was just doing yard work when he was pinned to the ground the steering wheel.

His two daughters, ages 16 and 14, had just got home from school when they heard their father scream.  The girls ran to their fathers side.  They called 911 but decided they couldn't wait for the emergency crew so they each grabbed a side of the tractor and started lifting.

I think the girls had a lot of adrenaline rushing through their bodies, which is why they were able to lift the tractor.  They were very brave.

Spring is in the air

Reflection
I like this photo because of the different layers of color.  I dislike it because of the tag in the bottom right corner.  I took this photo with an iphone during the afternoon with natural lighting.
