Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A:One of the main points regarding photo manipulation is that it is unethical to change photos. Another point is that as long as it doesn't change the photo's intent it's fine.
B: The philosophy of newspapers like the Washington Post is that they have strict guidelines on manipulating photos.
C: I think an acceptable way to manipulate a picture is if it's touching up the photo to make it look more of the intent. However if the picture is about a person you shouldn't change the way they look. Also if the picture is manipulated too much that is unethical for at least newspapers or articles.
D:I think this is a really unethical picture is because they changed it to make the girl more attractive. I think that's an awful thing to do because it shows that the person isn't important and it's how they look to the reader.
E: This picture isn't as unethical because it just combines the pictures of both people. This doesn't alter the people in the photo and isn't unethical to them.

Composition 9/11 Discussion and Post Shoot Reflection

 Lines
The lines of the tower is vertical to the person falling, drawing attention to the person.
Simplicity
A person is falling in the picture with not much of a background other than the lines of the building. The picture is simple, yet shows a the desperation people had during 9/11.
Rule of Thirds
The towers match up the the invisible lines called the rule of thirds. This draws attention to the towers.
Balance
This picture shows balance because the falling debris doesn't leave much empty space.
Framing
This photo is framed in a way to show the part of the building that is collapsing which shows lots of depth to the image.
Avoiding Mergers
The people in the photo don't merge together to make the image look weird or distracting.










Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)


The towers are symmetrical to each other. The big difference is the explosion on the left tower.
 Viewpoint
The photo is from a low angle. This shows how tall the buildings are.
Depth
This image has a lot of depth because there are people in the foreground  with buildings and smoke in the background.

Cropping
The image is cropped to bring attention to the shoes on the tree.

Welcome Back 2019

I like this photo cause you see one guy who isn't wearing a shirt and the others are in freezing temperatures.

The photo is very appealing with the fish swimming in the water.

The photo is very terrifying as you see the lava flowing out of the volcano.






My favorite song of 2018 is "Lightning Strike" on the album Firepower. The reasons its my favorite song of 2018 are the guitar work, fun and intense lyrics, and great singing. Also as a big fan of Judas Priest, this surprised me because they haven't done a song this since the 90's.

My favorite movie of 2018 is "Won't You be my Neighbor?". The reason is because it shows the person that Mr Rodgers was and what he believed in. Also it was the only movie that made me tear up this year.




The most important news story is the policy of Trump's policy of family separation at the border. This caused lots of immigrants who lived in the U.S. to go back without their families.

The most important person of 2018 in my opinion is Robert Mueller. The former FBI director has investigated Russian meddling in the 2016 election. His investigation led to more than 191 criminal charges against 32 people and three companies.

The biggest entertainment story of 2018 is the MeToo movement. Many big people in the entertainment industry were convicted of sexual assault in 2018 because of the MeToo movement. This movement was humongous in 2018 as many people told their stories of what happened to them.




1. One thing that happened during Winter Break that I will remember is that I went skiing.
2. My resolution for 2019 is to learn to play bass and get a girlfriend.
3.I am looking forward to hanging out with new friends.
