Year in Review

 This image is an amazing image of the rule of background of mother nature.

 Here a couple passes away in the Rana Plaza earthquake. This image depicts a strong emotion of love.

A group of people gather in the shade of this giant oak tree with a small fire as sun rays skim through the branches creating this lighting effect.

1. My favorite song of 2013. I chose this picture because it's simplicity and is on the album where the song was released. It is a very upbeat song.

Caption Writing

1. Joey Gray kisses Beth Gonzalez on Friday at 2:30 p.m. in Times Square in New York City. Gray excitedly grabbed Gonzalez when the news was announced that the allies had defeated the Nazis, ending World War II.           

2.  Billy bob was strolling down his local college campus through what seemed to be a nice and sunny day, or so he thought. Apparently he would find himself in an altercation with a then stranger Sharkeisha. She would throw one deadly punch. 

3. Here Nikki Yung, age 4, runs from Godzilla. Sunday, October 5th, will be remembered as a day of horror.

4. Tuesday this photo flooded the internet and social media. This man is tortured by American soldiers for being a co-conspirator in terror attacks.

5. Here Japanese drug lord Yung Kim threatens one of his soldiers for coming up short. Kim would later fatally shoot him.

Academics Shoot Reflection

1. One problem I encountered was how to incorporate the rules of composition into every academic picture.

2. I believe something I found myself doing constantly was holding the camera and how to capture the image. Such as the distance, position, and reason behind the picture.

3. I would try to better my rules of composition.

4. I would still find certain subjects and photograph them and shape them so they fit the rules of composition.

5. I believe mergers is one of the easiest to achieve.

6. I believe either balance of rule of thirds is one of the hardest.

7. Mergers, I know it usually has to do with something being cut out of the image, however there is also different types of mergers.

                              "Learn to fly" reads a banner atop of the Akins library at the entrance. Slightly off       center to create the golden ratio effect.

                                              Framing

   The security guard walks the halls to keep Akins High safe. The walls create a frame around him.

Amazing, explosive, and captivating. This image shows a very spectacular image in which the student is experimenting. Notice near the bottom of the image lines are being portrayed.
