1. Explain what happened to the man that was killed by the subway and how the photographer was able to take the photo.
The man killed by the subway was harassed and pushed into the tracks! The photographer just happened to be at the scene and was able to take the photo with flash in attempt to alert the train driver. (Photographer might have tried to help but nobody is sure).
2. Why did the photographer say he took the photo?
The photographer said he took the photo with his flash to alert the train to stop, that someone was in the tracks.
3. Do you think the photographer should have taken the photo?
Absolutely not.
4. Do you think the photographer did the best thing he could have done in this situation? Why or why not?
No, human instinct is to help others and we need to stay true to that. I feel as though the photographer or any other by stander should have done more to help.
5. Do you agree or disagree with the decision to run the photo on the front page of the New York Post? Explain why or why not.
I think it is such a tragic story, thing, and picture. But if he to such an incredible and once in a lifetime picture…why not post it as a memorial.
6. What is more important to a photojournalist, capturing images of life as it happens or stopping bad things from happening? Why or why not?
A photojournalist job is simply to take pictures of live action…but if someone's life is seriously in danger and they will die right before your eyes and you have the opportunity to save them…but humane.
7. Do you think it is ever ethically acceptable for a photographer to involve himself/herself in a situation that he or she photographs? Explain why or why not.
I think it's ethically acceptable for a photographer to try and save someone...yes, i do.
8. Should photojournalists always avoid influencing events as they happen? Explain your answer.
Photojournalist should try and stay out of the scene but get inside the scene with their camera, but if nobody is helping and a person will be killed I feel they have the right as a human being to inter fear.
9. After reading the responses from the professional photographers, what stands out as the most appropriate response for a photographer to this situation.
Being a photojournalist doesn't give you the right to put aside ethical human behavior and morals, I feel that this picture was tragic, and I feel that the photographer didn't have any intentions of helping this man.

review!
Early~
The magazine contains a table of contents on the cover page and are printed in black and white, unlike modern magazines.
Poster~
a photograph cover that doesn't relate to anything in the magazine yet sets a mood
Married to Text~
Where the title and headlines and any text on the magazine is touching the picture
Forest of Words~
Where there is literally no space on the cover what so ever because there is so many headlines and text everywhere.

review for final
1. In photoshop sharpening an image, using levels or making a photo black and white is totally acceptable. You could even crop the image if need be. What's not ethical is thinking someone's face/body, adding hair to their head, purifying their face, reducing/eliminating blemishes and whatnot.
2. Enviromental~A portrait of someone in their natural and usual environment. ex. president at his desk with the flag behind him
Self~A self portrait is a portrait taken by yourself of yourself.
Casual~ A portait is a photograph you take of someone that is not exactly posed for and it's cute and witty and not formal.
Exposure~The amount of light let in the photo
Depth of Field~Amount of distance that is sharp and clear to the eye in your photograph.
Focal Length~How focused in or zoomed out a photograph is

3 best pics
Adam is pulling the reins on new White Stallion, preparing for the race this weekend, James is pulling on the harness because the horse is so powerful. The White Stallion, Kissy, was found with a wounded leg behind the arena and they took Kissy into intensive care and are more the happy to see how she progressed from her condition.
Sammy grips the chain link fence with his small hands in desperate hope of getting out…he is war sick and yearns to see the maple trees of his old home. Sammy is only 13 but is drafted into the war in the middle east, his brother has escaped through this very fence and he awaits for his return to help him escape.
Nash is on a crowded train in America, on his way to Romania to fight, it is a rainy sunday morning and he shuts his eyes against the cold window in sadness. His family was killed by Romanian soldiers and he has no choice but o fight for his rights and lost loved ones, he sits with 100's of other soldiers with the same story.
1. Rule of thirds
When taking your picture, have the main point of interest in the bottom right hand corner, or the upper left hand corner…it doesn't have to be centered to be perfect and pretty.
2. Balancing Elements
In your picture, have a nice balance of elements and what you take your picture of should e easy and nice to look at, nothing off balance or too busy to one side.
3. Leading Lines
Have lines such as a fence or a long road to guide the readers eyes to the main focus the image
4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)
Symmetry and Patterns connect and mold a picture together, and create interest and intrigue
5. Viewpoint
You can take your picture upside down, from the side, above, anywhere! Don't be boring with your viewpoint…create interest and get into the photograph.
6. Background
The background of your photograph can be simplistic or busy. Don't let it take away from your picture though…the background can be something nice to look at and to post up against the pictures main focus.
7. Create depth
Creating depth is a way to add the 3D look. Creating depth allows the photograph to the net level of making you feel like your right there with the photographer.
8. Framing
Framing a photo can make the viewer feel as if they were inside the photo instead of looking at it.
9. Cropping
Cropping a photo means to cut or trim the image down to a certain set of numbers
10. Mergers and avoiding them
Avoiding mergers means to not have unrealistic or insulting things perceived wrong in your photo. ex. Having a pole coming out of someones head on accident

hanges made part 4
4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not?
Not at all. To change someone's face and body to the point where one is offended watching the process is disgusting. The model was unrecognizable after the makeup and photoshop. It distorts young girls like myself, view of beauty and how we should look.
5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
It is ethically wrong under any circumstance to do this type of manipulation, but I personally feel that when the model is plus size it makes matters worse. It is teaching people that to be pretty you must be skinny and that's just so no right.
6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
Types of changes could be adding a filter to your picture, or sharpening it up, or maybe making colors brighter in your image, or maybe fixing fly away hairs if your doing head shots for someone.
7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
Fashion photography is more of "fixing" and "manipulating" a perfect and appealing image for the public to be attracted to, and photojournalism is about "capturing" that powerful moment and "getting into the action" of life to get heart warming or heart breaking photographs that make you feel something.
8. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
Fashion photography does not even have a type of reality, it is photoshopped and purified to the point of false advertisement and edited models. Photojournalism on the other hand is reality. It is the beating pulse of the people who walk the earth, the cracks and creases of the mud and grass, it is what is real and pure.
9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?
I think you showed us these there videos to show us the dangers of photoshop and editing. We need to know what is ethical and what is not when editing a photograph of someone.
10. Why are none of these videos about guys???
In our society, girls are the ones who need to be pretty. Girls are the ones who need to be skinny. Girls are thrones that need to take suggestive pictures that are edited beyond ethical ways. So much is expected of girls and I think only recently it's starting to take a toll on women; we are just starting to fight back. Everyone is pretty, just the way they are.

blog #4 - magazine part 2
1. Early Magazine Covers
Early magazine covers are just what they sound like; old, early, and nothing like you would see today. They have big bold inky fonts and paper that looks like coffee has been spilled on it, and someone has crumpled it up and tried to flatten it out. The newspaper has a black and white color scheme and a little design.
2. The Poster Cover
The poster cover magazine design is primarily a picture. the page has an eye drawing design or picture full of color, or something abstract that gives off an emotion. The picture has a title above it, and sometimes a small captain underneath it or in the photo itself. This approach is much more artistic, and can be a little much if not done correctly.
3. Pictures Married to Type
Pictures married to type is a new and cool way to incorporate your picture/design into the actual title and words of your magazine cover. You can still read the words, and still see the picture, yet this is a cool and modern way to tie the two elements of the magazine layout together to make a more cohesive cover page, and grab attention from costumers. Personally, this is a great way to give your cover page a little something extra.
4. In the Forest of Words
In the Forest of Wolds the magazine designer is really taking the photos and layout and words of the cover page…and making them go deep into specific people cultures, interests, and ways of life. It is a different and personal approach to creating a magazine cover page and I think people truly appreciate it when done well and the photo does the issue justice.

Blog #3- my favorite cover
Designer: Arem Duplessis
"This cover story by Michael Pollen argues that while we have been obsessed with eradicating germs, there are health advantages to being exposed to them. The cover shot by Hannah Whitaker of a baby being licked by a dog makes graphic the prevalence of germs in our everyday lives." - See more at: http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contest/past-winners-finalists/2014-winners-finalists#sthash.fQkUWZWo.dpuf
This magazine cover is so cute! I love how the blue sky (background) is os blue, the grass is green, the baby's shirt is so red, and the puppy is so golden. The colors and lighting in this picture is spot on. I love how the concept of the photo was to get the point across that even something as a cute as a puppy licking a baby…can carry and be a host for nasty germs and health risks. This photo would have been maybe a little bit more appealing (if that's even possible) if the baby had been looking at the camera and making a cute or funny face. Overall this photo really captured my heart and eyes.

Ian and his friends hold each other as Ian returns home for a few days, a rare occasion. His friends are still dealing with the realness of it all, Ian risking his life everyday in Iraq for his country…and they wish he would just stay with them here at home, in Denver.
Ian walks alone to his new army camp base, heaving a long his heavy bags and looking forward, only forward. If he looks back on the hardships he has faced, and the people he has left behind, walking to his new army camp might be the hardest part of this all.
Ian is not familiar with his surrounding, and his squad is gong over procedures to reassure they know what they are getting themselves into. Ian is thinking about his training, his family, and his country which he is here for. He is ready.

Photography tips
1. Get closer; getting closer allows you to see incredible details on someones face, or a houses exterior.
2. Alter your perspective; taking the photo from a different angle can change the thoughts and emotions connotated with it.
3. Introduce a prop; a prop can make the photo more interesting and get a point across.

Environmental Photo's
I love this photo because the berries are such a pretty shade of red and the sky is a dull yet bright and beautiful sight. The man looks happy to be doing his artsy job and the tree's add nature in the background to look at.
I am in love with this photo! The house in the background is so rustic and enchanting, the car adds a little bit of luxury in the photo, and the couple looks absolutely stunning and in love. The tree's and greenery look beautiful against the house.
Self Portrait
I think this is the best photo I have ever seen. I love that it's in black and white, and how it's from his shoulders up. The fuzzy and woodsy background adds to it and gives it a wintery madness vibe. His muddy body and exhausted face create interest.
This photo creates interest and curiosity. I love how it is both underwater and above sea level, and her body is dirty, and her hair is wet and falling over her face. This is an amazing photo.
Casual Portrait
This little girl is so cute and I love the fact that use is grabbing grass laughing without a care in the world according to this photo.
This girl is so pretty, and she is laughing in this photo which makes it so light, casual, and elegant. Her hair is blowing in the wind and she looks interested in what is going on to the side of her, not in the photo being taken.
I will be shooting my older sister Madison. She is a senior here at Bowie. I will shoot in our backyard, and at cool places around Austin. I will have her put on multiple outfits and introduce a few props, and have her just do natural poses or whatever she chooses feels right. My sister has blonde hair and green eyes so I will probably get some close ups with her hair blowing and her eyes being the main focus.

Shutter Speed
Fast shutter speed
Slow Shutter speed
1. If you were assigned to shoot at Bulldogs and Hotdogs night, which was a few months ago, what shutter speeds do you think you would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations:
At the beginning while the sun was still up and the courtyard had reasonable good light
a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree
At the beginning while the sun was still up and the courtyard had reasonable good light
a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree

2. List the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed (these are found at #5 on the Shutter Speed website. Explain how each works - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words.
1 - Shutter priority- the camera atom aticaly selects the aperture
2 - Manual - you set both shutter and aperture yourself
3 - aperture priority - the camera calculates shutter speed
Aperture
F2.8
1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?
The pupil
2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture the more blurry the background is , the higher the Aperture the more clear the background is.
3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?
3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?
It effects the Depth the Field because if you really want to focus on your main model or center piece of a photo; you need to have a small aperture to make the background blurry. Vise versa if you want to focus on the background and purity of your photo.

1. What emotions did you feel as you worked your way through these images?
My heart was so happy watching the couple drink beer and cuddle, and slowly I watched her smile, along with
My heart was so happy watching the couple drink beer and cuddle, and slowly I watched her smile, along with
his fade away as her wrinkles depend and hair fell. My heart became heavy and vulnerable.

2. The photographer said this: "These photographs do not define us, but they are us." What do you think
about this comment now that you have looked at the photos?
I wholly agree. I was lost and drowning as I scrolled down the photos. I became a pat of the story, I was the story.
3. Do you think you could shoot photos like this if you were in this situation?
I feel like I could, it would be difficult to see a person in so much love or pain or loss and selfishly photograph

Africa and Abandoned theme parks
1. My reactions after seeing his photographs is absolutely indescribable. I am floored at the power of his images…the beauty of wild animals in their element is stunning. I am shocked by how long it took for him to get some of the photos, and i love that this specific photographer is concerned with the wildlife's well being and really appreciates their beauty.
3. Describe it and tell me why its your favorite.
This is a picture of a wild elephant drinking from a murky watering hole. It is in black and white and centered perfectly, and the beauty of his dirty tusks and wrinkly trunk are spectacular.
4. What rules of photography are evident in the photos you selected, be sure to explain the rule to me?
The rule of simplicity is in place here in the fact that the background of the photo is endless Savannah, dry dirt and brittle plants.
Do a google/wikipedia search for Nick Brandt
5. What kind of camera and lens does he use and why is this important?He uses a Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses. He does not use a telephoto, or zoomed lenses do take his pictures.
6. What is his reason for taking these photos?
He takes these photos to capture wild animals true beauty and spirit up close.
7. What is his hope by taking these type of photos?
He hopes to stop animal hunting and extinction of these beautiful wild animals in Africa.
8. Find something he has to say about Africa, and post the quote on your blog.
"This coming year is going to be the most bleak of all with the terrible drought that East Africa is currently experiencing, and the explosion in poaching as a result of the renewed Chinese demand for ivory."
1. Tell me which amusement park featured in the two articles that you would like to visit and take your camera along and what about that park made you want to go there. Write at least a paragraph.
3. Think of at least FIVE other unusual places you think would be of interest to photographers. List them.
1. Dark Ally in New York
2. Tree houses
3. Underneath tables
4. In a fish tank
5. Sunken ships
4. Use google or another search engine to research ONE of your five places and see if anyone has already started documenting that place. If you find that someone has already started - post at least one photo of their work.
5. Write a paragraph about why you think that it would be fun to document that location. Tell me what interests you about that place and what kind of photos you could expect to take there.
I think it would be so fun to go to cool places around the world such as the forests of California, and Iceland, and Germany, and other neat spots and explore their forests. Trees are so magnificent and powerful, and to have authentic and artsy houses on top and between them make it just that much more of an experience. They have beautiful lines and structure and you can take elegant pictures or make them quirky and rare.
6. Tell me what it would take for you to go and take photos at your location. What would you need as far as equipment goes, travel plans, expenses you might encounter and what laws you would have to take into consideration to take photos at your spot.
I would need a nice camera, like the ones we have here at school, i would travel by plane to take photos of tree houses in 4-5 different continents. I would need equipment to climb trees and get inside them probably.
3. Describe it and tell me why its your favorite.
This is a picture of a wild elephant drinking from a murky watering hole. It is in black and white and centered perfectly, and the beauty of his dirty tusks and wrinkly trunk are spectacular.
4. What rules of photography are evident in the photos you selected, be sure to explain the rule to me?
The rule of simplicity is in place here in the fact that the background of the photo is endless Savannah, dry dirt and brittle plants.

1. Tell me which amusement park featured in the two articles that you would like to visit and take your camera along and what about that park made you want to go there. Write at least a paragraph.
Takakanonuma Greenland is where i would like to take my camera and visit the abandoned theme park. It looks extremely cool and legend has it that the reason they shut down was because their were multiple deaths in their 1st few years of being open. The tree's have grown around and through almost all the rides, and the metal had begun to rust and crumble away slowly. It would be awesome for taking some cool, creepy photos.
2. Post one photo from that park. You may use the photos from the link, or you can google an entirely new photo. I would prefer to see a photo of the park in disrepair and not a photo of it when it was still operating.3. Think of at least FIVE other unusual places you think would be of interest to photographers. List them.
1. Dark Ally in New York
2. Tree houses
3. Underneath tables
4. In a fish tank
5. Sunken ships
5. Write a paragraph about why you think that it would be fun to document that location. Tell me what interests you about that place and what kind of photos you could expect to take there.
I think it would be so fun to go to cool places around the world such as the forests of California, and Iceland, and Germany, and other neat spots and explore their forests. Trees are so magnificent and powerful, and to have authentic and artsy houses on top and between them make it just that much more of an experience. They have beautiful lines and structure and you can take elegant pictures or make them quirky and rare.
