Merger Photo
1. I think the photographer might be standing in the street and that could make them have to move if a car comes and try to find the exact spot again.
2. On the track field where there are no intersecting forces.
3. Something creative would be starting on a higher ground and taking photos jumping down so it looks like motion in a picture.
4. I don't think a certain type of clothing would help with the photo.

HDR photography
1. You will need to change the speed/aperture and exposure levels to create an HDR photo.
2. You need a tripod so all of the images will align correctly.
3. Someone might take these kinds of photos to make them look more realistic and sharper/clearer to look at through a screen.
4. When we merge the photos, it will turn into a more clear photo and just better quality overall, where as a single photo is less precise and of good quality.

Final exam planning
1. I might shoot it next week or either the weekend of may 5th(not this weekend but the next).
2. I will shoot at my house.
3. I will hopefully be documenting my sister painting something.
4. I will need something to hold my camera sturdy in order to take a time lapse of the process as well as another camera, but I have one of my own and a gopro so I might just use a gopro and speed it up for the time lapse.
5. For the process I'm going to start off with still photos and narrate during that then the time lapse will be at the end. I will probably have 20 photos.

My opinion story
How many hours of homework do you do a week? I know I spend at least 6-7 hours of my week getting homework done. I think that our school gives out too much homework and expects it to be done too early. Some homework is necessary, but not so much that it takes over 45 minutes.
My after-school routine includes coming home, resting for a solid hour, eating dinner, then trying to start on homework. Homework, for me, tends to take a good 2 hours without having to study extra time if there is a test the next day. I then have to fit in after-school activities, and of course more time to sit on my phone because lets be real I'm a teenager and its what I do and that all leaves me going to bed at around 11:30-12:00.
Some students or teachers might say to get it done right after school and I wouldn't have to stay up late to squeeze it in, or do it while I'm motivated from school. But when I get home my brain needs a rest from constantly thinking about work and learning for 8 hours! I think its reasonable to say we all do, even teachers.
It's healthy for our bodies to get 8 hours of sleep a night and staying up doing homework does not help that. Doing homework prevents me from being able to learn as well as I should be. Cutting back on the amount of homework given would improve my ability to do better in school. With sleep, I am more energized and able to take information in easier. I could use coffee for more energy, but that would wear off and eventually make me even more tired.
Even assigning homework on weekends when we have a full 2 days, sometimes 3, to do stuff is unnecessary and even a little unfair. A weekend is supposed to be a break. Just like how most workers are off on the weekend, students should be too. Its our time to rest and actually get away from school. Its also nice to have family time and room for activities, but sometimes homework takes away from that. Its stressful going on a weekend trip and having to think about when I'll have time to study for a test or do homework.
Students already have to go learn for 8 hours a day and assigning extra stuff is not needed all the time. I think that an hour and 30 minutes per class period is enough time to practice and fully learn a subject.
To solve this problem, teachers can assign homework, but nothing that would take up to 45 minutes.
I think some of them forget that just about every single class assigns homework every day and its hard to keep up with all of it. They could even set the date due further away so that if we do get a lot of homework, we have time.
Getting over an hour of homework everyday is unnecessary. It takes time away from whats supposed to be a break from school. Teachers should consider reducing the amount of homework assigned in the future.

Student of the Month Story
First time ever, sophomore, Brian Anicua talks about his accomplishment of getting the March Student of the Month award. Earning the award takes hard work and dedication; a few qualities that Brian has. Bowie High school's school board has been doing this once a month since 2014 to reward the students who have worked hard to succeed greatly in academics. The winner was announced the morning of April 4th.
Anicua strives to be top of his class in hopes of going to a great college. The school board felt that it was time to reward him after noticing his partake in the National Honor Society, Volunteering at the tutoring center, and his astonishing grades. Friends and family are proud of Anicua and how far he's gotten in and out of academics.
Bowies new Student of the Month was surprised at the announcement of his winning.
"I felt really accomplished and I didn't expect to win so it was really refreshing," said Brian Anicua.
Brian looks forward to using his Student of the Month reward.
"I will take off all of the stupid rules around here so we have more freedom as students," said Anicua.
Teachers of Anicua were very happy for him.
"I think he's a great student and deserved this award," said Anicua's english teach. "I could tell he had been working for a long time to achieve it."
Brian is excited about how Student of the Month will affect his future.
"I am most excited about being at a higher level," said Anicua.
Anicua thinks getting the award will help him to work harder.
"This can push me to work harder, because I will know that I can do it.. since I will have won before," said Anicua.
The next Student of the Month will be announced on May 4th.

Nut Graf
Nut Graf:
Also known as the nutshell paragraph, the Nut Graf of a story is the second paragraph that explains the leads connection to the rest of the story. It's called the Nut Graf because it contains the "kernel" or essential theme of the story. It tells the readers why the story is timely and why the readers should care. This section normally helps the reader decide if they want to read the story.
The Nut Graf is also generally followed with a flashy quotation. When writing it, its suggested to put one or two facts in the first sentence. After the first few sentences, it contains supporting material that helps readers see why the story is important. Nut Grafs are used in every story structure.

Portfolios
1)
a. Alyssa Schukar
b. Story
c. The photos werent close enlough to the subject and they were all of a certain distance, not enough strong singles, it was more of a dark story instead of one filled with optism.
d. The caribbean photo of the man sweeping had a pretty background and the girl who fell over the hurdles was one they liked because of how much it captured and a good angle.
e. I like how she captured different emotions like some of joy and some that were more dark people. I didnt like that she didnt use very many rules of photography.
a. Travis Haughton
b. Photo j and sports
c. They didnt like pictures that had the back of peoples heads because they were off putting, pictures of signs, and not capturing all of the faces as well as many photos were too tight.
d. They liked the levels in the photos and the moments that dont look staged.
e. I like how this person really captured happy moments and the photography still itself was really good.
a. Nick Adams
b. Stories
c. They didnt like that a handfull of the photos werent in focus, too many kids, and photos werent telling them anything.
d. They liked the originality and there was good composition
e. I didnt like how some of he photos were just pointless like they didnt tell me anything as the judges were saying but there was good lighting.
a. Jordan Murph
b. Sports
c. There were repeated photos in terms of background, they didnt like shilouette photos, and they werent telling the story in the caption.
d. They had good color and uniqueness in photos they have seen a lot of times.
e. This was my favorite portfolio. I thought that all of the photos were great and had good composition. The photographer used a lot of rules and I liked every photo.
2)Dustin Snipes portfolio
a. The judges pointed out the good color, he captured moments where everybody was doing something but not too chaotic, and good moments
b. A strength that i saw was the creativity. Dustin was very creative when choosing how he wanted to photograph something or someone. For a weakness I would say a lot of wide shot photos with too much going on.
3)
a. Some things the judges asked themselves if the story was good, if the photos had a variety of feel, diversity, and good editing.
Part 2
1) I agreed with the judges on the photo of the football field empty at night with the lights going straight through the yellow goal. Its just not a good photo composition wise and the judges were saying he could have at least used a fish eye and tilted the lense which I agree with.
2) I don't like the photo of the tennis player that the judges liked. It has a girl in a red uniform with her head completely back and out of the photo with her fist up in the air and her rack is in mid air. I think it just doesn't have much composition to it and its just a weird timing to capture it. I mean you cant even see the girls face...

Architecture Preview Assignment #1
Nautilus House, Mexico
1. Javier Senosiain
2. 2007
3. Naucalpan, Mexico
4. You can visit it
5. It cost 218,000 dollars
6. It was build for a four person family who was tired of living in a conventional home. They wanted to change to one integrated to nature.
7. I picked this building because it is very unique. I have never seen anything like it. The two main things that really stood out to me were the giant shell shape and the really pretty and colorful pieced glass window in the front.
Atomium, Belgium
1. Andre and Jean Polak
2. Originally built in 1958 but renovated 2004-2007
3. Brussels, Belgium
4. You can visit this place
5. It cost 93,513 dollars
6. It was built to depict atoms because in the 1950's, when it was first built, there was a lot of faith in scientific progress.
7. I chose this building because when I first saw the name on the list I wanted to see it because it was in Belgium. I have always wanted to go there. Also because it looked like a toy I used to have as a kid, it was just a bunch of little plastic things in this exact shape so I was curious what this was supposed to represent.
Turning Torso, Sweden
1. Santiago Calatrava
2. 2005
3. Malmo, Sweden
4. You can visit this place, but the owner only allows the public to go to one floor and it must be pre scheduled and on limited days.
5. Unknown
6. This building was built I think to be the first turning building as well as a living space.
7. I chose this building because it really stands out with how tall it is and the fact that it looks like an allusion that its going to crash down or break somehow. The building itself twist which is really cool and unique.
Burj Al Arab, Dubai, UAE
1. Tom Wright
2. 1999
3. An artificial island in Dubai
4. This is a hotel, so yes you can visit
5. It cost 1 billion dollars
6. This building was built to be a hotel.
7. I chose this building because its location is really appealing because its really tropical and isolated looking. The building itself is really cool because it reminds me of a sail shape and its just unique in its whole.
Habitat 67, Canada
1. Moshe Safdie
2. 1967
3. Montreal, Canada
4. Yes you can visit, its an apartment complex
5. It cost $22,195,920
6. It was build for housing in a unique way
7. I chose this because I have never seen anything look even close to this. It looks like/kind of is just houses stacked on top of each other in odd ways that looks cool. It looks like a giant lego block formation.

Action Photos
Photo #1
Juliette runs towards the benches to get a drink of water. Juliette likes to jog around the courtyard during her off period.

Juliette tries to make a quick sprint away from the bees on campus. Juliette is allergic to bees and can often swell up if she is stung.

Photo #4
The halls of Bowie Highschool are left empty after the tardy bell has rung. Bowie's wide hallways make for plenty of room for students to pass between periods.

Sensory Overload
1. I think this statement is relatively true. I think what he's trying to say is the environment is less physical but more what happens in the city. I agree with this and this will make me look at photography in a different way by seeing how each little thing defines that certain setting.
2. Looking at the photos did look very cool, but I don't like how its so crowded. It kind of gives me a headache seeing all of the colors. I think it would be better to just view it in person rather through a camera.
3. Being a child in this community with parents who work at these shops I think it would be very chaotic but time probably passes quick if your spending it with other children and there is always going to be stuff to look at.
4. My favorite photo is the one of I think candy in a bunch of sacks all stacked on top of one another. Its taken with a kind of fish eye lense so I can really see everything in the shop.
