1) Zika is in Travis Country, It's linked to birth defects, it has been found accretive in saliva and urine, pregnant women are at risk, there's no vaccine for zika
2) They have an experiment to use more renewable energy, and they're putting in a huge solar plant
3) electrician, plumber, massage therapist
4) Denver Broncos 24-10
5) Cynthia Lee rides on the oil can harry's float in the 2013 gay pride parade in austin

1) My favorite was pedal through the powder, because it;s just a pretty simple picture. It's all white, and then an older man is just riding a bike through all of the snow. I find it a little silly honestly.
2) I think probably an interesting photo would be shadow dancing. I always knew about groundhog day, it's just so weird to see that people actually participate with a groundhog to say whether it;s spring or winter. I find it so random.
3) The most boring picture is probably counted by hand. It does get a little more interesting as you read what the sheets of paper are, but overall just if you're judging if it's pleasing to the eye, it pretty boring looking.

Self Portraits

2. Play with Eye Contact

3. Break the Rules of Composition

Casual portrait

I chose this picture, because it has a lot of simplicity and even though the main subject isn't the lake, it still really shows in the back but still has simple in the front.

Environmental portrait

I like this picture, because it's simple and how its taken and shows the length of the guitar down to the man that plays it.

self portrait

I like this picture, because it makes the boy fit into the background, and they blend the dark with dark and light with light and then right at the horizon it changes with it.

1) an environmental photo is a picture of the subject in their environment where they're comfortable

2) a casual portrait is a picture with just a simple background and a simple picture and an environmental digs a little deeper into the subjects personal life and is taken in their comfortable environment.

3) get good lighting and a good area

There are three children sitting on a log near a stream. One of them looks up at the sky and says...

"What is life all about? What will become of me? I wonder what's bona happen. There's so much life left to live. I have so much to experience. My life has just begun and I want to learn and live. I want to see the world and have a family that loves each other. The kind that may get in fights, but only to make up because they're minor and they love each other too much to stay mad. I want to really truly know who I am. To find my identity and what my destiny is. Not because of what someone tells me to be or because I have role models and follow in their footsteps, but I want to find me. The only me there will ever be. To go through the worst times and the best, and to learn from it all. To grow everyday and learn about myself through it all. I want to fall in love. I want to fell so strongly about a person and not even know what to do with all of the love I have for them. Maybe we don't say together, But I'll have the experience. I'll have had experienced being in love and really learning to love another. The thought of life is exciting, which is why the thought of death is that much scarier. All of the dreams I have are to last an entire lifetime, but what if I don't live long enough to see it all? Death takes it all away just like that. What if I never see the world? Or have a family? Or fall in love? I'll die before I even start to live. Life is so exciting, but so easy to lose."

"No Brooklyn," says another on the log, Paige. "You can't treat death like that. We're here on earth living. We have a life that we can live. Yes, maybe can lose this life, but we haven't yet. Our life is here right now, so live it while you can. You don't know about ten ears, or one year, or even tomorrow, but you've got right now, so live it as fun and freely as you can. Don't give death the option to take you before you begin to live. Start to live right now. You can't think of death as something to hold you back, but as something to push you forward and encourage you to live."

Brooklyn remembered that night and what Paige had told her. She went out and lived her life just as she wanted, and when death came, she did not fear it because she knew that she lived her life well and to all she ever wanted from it.

photo manipulation and ethics

A. This story explains the crops that photographers have done on photos that are unacceptable to do. It explains them sometimes make it look more dramatic or different than what was really happening. The photographers would be fired, but not everyone learns their lesson until it happens to them.

B. This type of cropping and photo editing isn't allowed, because the news is supposed to give all facts, and editing pictures can make others assume that what happened was either more or less intense than it was, and the news needs to say the whole truth.

I think this photo was unacceptable, because it is making this man seem even more black than he is just for an intense story, but they don't have to lie about his skin.

I think this photo was acceptable, because it was just changing a feature to make her teeth look better which really isn't going to affect much.
