Yolanda is playing the accordion right now on the streets for money. Every Sunday, she sits on the street and just plays for hours. Sherrie is 100 and healthy as can be. After 100 years, Sherrie can finally say she's lived to be 100. Pauls dentures are about to fall out of his mouth. Paul had a hard day at work and just needed a nap.

1. Think of at least three ideas you have about what your team could take photos of, that are in the same theme? Eyes, because everyones eyes are different in one way or another. Flowers, because there are so many types and they are beautiful. Nature in general because there are so many different settings and places to go and take a picture. 2. You will be using the school cameras or your own similar camera. You will need to shoot in Manual. What are three things you will have to think about when you are out shooting?

1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them?        What caught my eyes about these pictures were the look of them. They look old and you can assume a sort of story about them.  3.) I want to make posters of all the pictures or murals I make. To show people what I'm feeling without saying anything. I see a spotlight on the city. The sun points out this city for the whole world. I smell hotdogs on the streets. The 10 dollar pizza that this city is known for. I hear taxis honking. Honking at the pedestrians or homeless people. I taste the mouthwatering smell of food carts. The smell of the food coming out of the restaurants. I feel claustrophobic. 10,000 people all walking on the same sidewalk as me. I see words. Words that in someones heart, has great meaning to them. I smell fear. The fear of never getting this person back. I hear yelling. The yelling

1. What emotions did you feel as you worked your way through these images? I felt the pain that they were both feeling. I couldn't even imagine battling breast cancer for almost half of your life. 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 think that those 10 words really define these pictures and basically their whole life. It shows that he really tried to capture themselves and showed their true colors and didn't fake any of the emotions just for the picture. 3. Do you think you could shoot photos like this if you were in this situation? I think that if I was in a situation like this with such meaning, I could take these pictures not even just for the challenge but just to show the story. 4. If you could write Angelo a letter, what would you say to him? If I could write Angelo a letter, I would explain how sorry I am for his loss and that he

Aperture F2.8 1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture? Aperture is very closely related to pupils because most cameras are based off of human eyes. 2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the f-stop, the larger the Aperture . 3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field? Aperture affects the focus of the rest of the picture, other than the main target of your picture.

1. I think it is very fascinating how hard people actually work to get these kinds of pictures. Taking pictures is fun for me so I feel like traveling around the world to take pictures would be so cool. He really does capture the feelings of these animals. 2. 3. Describe it and tell me why its your favorite. I think that this picture just does such an amazing job at showing the meaning behind it. It's very sad but also interesting at the same time. 4. What rules of photography are evident in the photos you selected, be sure to explain the rule to me? The rule that this picture is using is balance because the whole picture is exactly how it's supposed to look and it has this really creative look to it. 5.

He wanted to be close enough so that he could understand them and really tell their story which is why
