Summer Interview story

Summer vacation is exactly what students and school employees need after a long school year. It’s a time of swimming, sleeping in, and all around relaxing.

No matter how different everyone might be we all have the same common goal to go jump in the pool on a hot Texas summer. “I love swimming at Barton Springs and the lake.” Said senior Catherine Taylor, Senior Mike Canales says “I love the pool, it’s better than Barton.”

When it comes to spending the days some people like to be outside, in the sun getting sweaty, while others would prefer being inside in the AC, playing video games. “I plan on spending my time outside, inside is so boring.” Catherine said, while Mike had to say “Playing video games with my friends” was his favorite part of summer.

Everyone maybe different but over the summer their goals are the same, to stay cool and have fun.

Richard Lee who founded taxcanabis2010.org and the millions of suportors working to legalize marijuana have a very good chance of making it happen in the state of California. They are going through many steps and processes in trying to make the legalization of the healing of the universe legal. They has been many protests and a bill has been introduced. After a lot of fighting, discussion and working towards this goal it is happening, or there is a great chance of it happening.. If they were to legalize marijuana California would make so much money off of this, selling and growing hemp itself. They have their own resource to make everything with. Marijuana smokers and supporters have been working hard to get the chance to smoke freely and feel good and now the chance is coming. The rules for being able to grow is that the room where you grow it has to be 5ft by 5ft. The legal age to put that marijuana to use is 21. I am very happy about this, this is excellent news and I can only hope this revolution will spread to Texas.


Elements of News
Proximity: The county fair and rodeo being in town.
Prominence: Hannah Montana! Is really Miley Cyrus.
Timeliness: The process of the legalization of marijuana in California.
Oddity: A parrot gives birth to a baby bat.
Consequence: Thunderstorm in the Austin Area.
Conflict: The war in Iraq.
Human interest: Marijuana is made legal in all of the U.S. !

favorite portrait-
I like the contrast and simplicity of this picture. The contrast between Muhammad Ali and the floor and his shorts make it better. It's very simple and meaningful at the same time. It produces emotion well. They kept the cover simple too. Just black font.

Cover History

Early magazine covers introduced the table of content and title. They had pictures that were about what they were talking about. Poster covers were used for magazines and books as covers, they were more appealing and caught interest. Pictures married to type is where the text on the magazine and the picture went together. Instead of the text being on top or bottom of the photo they just lay on top. In the forest of words refers to how there is alot of text on the picture, talking about what is inside and everything.

fav-fav-favorite.

I'm very indecisive and I couldn't choice my favorite song. I'm stuck between "Zero" by Yeah Yeah Yeah's and Kid Cudi: "Pursuit of Happiness". Never mind, I love Kid Cudi... But I love the Yeah Yeah Yeah's but "Pursuit of Happiness" was completely amazingg. Ok, I've made my mind up. Kid Cudi "Pursuit of Happiness" was my favorite song of 2009 and will be one of my favorites for a long time.

Where the Wild Things Are is my favorite movie of 2009, it was my favorite book when I was younger and now it's my favorite movie. I fricking love,love,loved it! :)

'Female Viagra' - this is my favorite story of 2009. No, not really. I just don't care enough about the other stuff and this made me laugh.

Favorite photo- Mi Gusta :DD

2009

I'm doing a self portrait,

I am going to do a couple of self portraits and a couple of portraits of maybe Ethan and Catherine.
I am going to shoot the picture outside, maybe at the fields. I have an idea that involves dandelions, there are a lot over by new tech. I want to shoot where I'm comfortable, which is outside in a field with the sun. It's kind of cheesy but I hope to get a picture of me blowing the dandelion. It's one of my favorite plants, even if it's a weed -.- With the sun shining. I don't know what I'm going to wear or anything but I'm sure it will be alright for a picture.

Portraits

For a photo to be good it should be captivating. A person should be able to see it and play a story in their head. Its should be ORIGINAL. Not cliche and over done. A photographer's style and the person in the picture's personality should be clear. They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, and its true. I want to be able to see a picture and be inspired. To me thats what makes a good picture.
For my potraits I want to do an enviromental shot. I want to be able to tell a story or describe either me or the persons personality, and emotions. For my self portrait I want to express myself most defiantly, I'm not sure what to express about myself though. There's nothing too important about me or special that sticks out especially. How do I express non importance? Eh, I'll figure something out.

My Christmas Break (wish it didn't end)

My favorite memory from my break was sitting on the street with some friends New Years Eve and popping fireworks, black cats. It's not that I didn't do other stuff over the break and that's all I have to talk about and I'm not really sure why I liked it so much. It was just calming, but exciting at the same time.
I didn't do too much of anything besides hang out with some friends. Nothing exactly school appropriate. Unless you'd like to hear it. I did have a lot of fun adventuring, wandering wherever our feet would take us, I always appreciate some good air and adventure.
Nothing very interesting has happened to me this year. I'm a boring person in reality. Just a little crazy. Maybe I'll remember a few parties. Oh uhmmm, a four foot something, yeah, I'll remember that..

:)

2009 favorites.

I like this picture because of the kids' faces. Some look excited for their little graduation that has been set up, others confused. The photographer balanced it out with two kids in focus on either side of one little girl. The other kids out of focus in the back more add a lot more depth to the photo and gives it more of a story.











For starters, this picture is more my "scene" you could say. I love how the singer is kneeling down, super into it. The photographer used the good lightning to his advantage. And there is a lot of emotion in this. It seems like the show was much better then it really was, judging by the crowd.
















I love how abstract this is. I would have never guessed it was a shit load of rice. The photographer used really good shapes and shading.
