5 Qualities

The qualities that I would like to show are...
The first one is, that I am a gymnastics lover.
The second one, is that I am a very ecological person, I like to keep the environment clean.
Thirdly is that I am a very studious person.
The fourth is that I am very brave.
Last but not least is that I am a fan of medicine.

I could show the first qualities, by taking a picture of all the gymnastics medals I have won in past years competing with other schools. This picture would be taken in my room, because all of the medals are putted in a cork in my room's wall, there is a window next to it, so if I take the picture, and it is day time, it will have a natural light.
I could show the second quality, by taking a picture, of my garden, because my garden has all sorts of trees, flowers, and animals. This picture would be taken, by me lying on my garden's floor, and taking the picture kind of upwards, the light will obviously be natural, and there will be a lot of birds and little animals on the trees.
The third quality can be showed by taking a picture of my school bag, because it is always full of books. I think that this picture could be taken by opening my school bag, and organizing the books inside so they are neat, and maybe this picture could be taken at night with flash, so it shows that like I am very studious I stay late at night studying.
The fourth quality can be showed by taking a picture of my scars, because I became very brave after getting crashing that class door. This picture can be taken by me, zooming in my camera, so the details of my scars are shown, the light can be natural or artificial.
The last quality can be described in a photo taking a picture of my shirt that says: "Trust me I am going to be a doctor". I would like to take this picture against a white wall, with natural light, because this shirt has a really bright color, so it will look nice with a white wall behind.

Personal Story

A really important event in my life, is when I was going to third grade, and I went through a glass door. When this happened to me, I was with my best friend, and my best friend’s parents, without my mom. The first thing that her parents told us, was to not run outside, because there were lot of glass doors. We where at their apartment at the beach, my friend Claudia and I were in the pool, her mom Hamdy called us from inside the apartment to tell us that the food was ready. As I said before, her mom told us not to run, but I was so hungry I completely forgot, and I ran to the house. It was about seven pm, when there is a weir light, and you cant see the glass. Like we where in the pool my feet were wet, and the floor was slipery. When I finally realized that the glass door was there, I tried to stop, but like my feet were wet, I couldn’t stop, so I slided and crashed the door. Instead of going through it, I kind of bounced, and all of the glass fell on me. Claudia, was behind me, and she catched me, before I hitted the ground that had all of the glass. But like we had bathing siuts, there was nothing to protect my body from the glass, and I got horrible cuts in my knee and in my arm. When Claudia’s dad, Miguel, relized what happened, he carried me to the car, and took me to the hospital.

In the hospital they didn’t know that I was alergic to a type of anestesia, and it made me have a wrong reaction. Claudia’s parents wanted to take me to a hospital here in Caracas, in an ambulance, but all of the ambulances were in La Guaira, and we were in Higuerote, so her dad, finally decided that they were going to take me in his car, with a nurse. While all of this happened I was unconsious, in the middle of the ride back to Caracas, I woke up, and asked for someone, and I saw a weird person holding me, and then I fell uncomcious again. What I remember after the ride home, was that all my family was there in the emergency room, and I told my mom, that what were they doing in Higuerote. Another thing that I remember, is when they took me to the E.R, that I saw a whole bunch of doctors around me, and a told them to please not cut my new bathing suit (obviouly they didn’t listen, and they cutted it).

The day after I arrived, was when Claudia,and her parents, came to visit me to the hospital, they brought me a big plush toy, that I called Sombra, because it was a Cheetah. I still keep this plush toy, like one of my favorites, because it is really pretty, and I have it since that horrible accident. I think that this is the most important thing that has happened to me in my whole life, because I had the support of my whole family, and friends, and also the support of my best friend that I know since I was in pre-school.

But that was the worst moment to have an accident, because I was changing from a school to another one, and I couldn't do anything, because I had a full leg cast, and my arm was immobilized, so at first it was really hard to meet new people, because of my condition at that moment. I was really lucky that Claudia, and Lucia that were my best friends at my other school, were changing to the same school.

Partner Portrait- Evaluation

· How can photography be used to show something unique about an individual?

Photography, if used correctly can show unique things about people. If you use it correctly, you might be able to express things that other people don't have. 

· What was one difficulty about capturing a unique qualities partner's portrait?

A difficulty about capturing something unique about a person is that people just do it spontaneously, when you are trying to show something that the person does spontaneously, it is hard, because trying to get the exact “feeling” of that unique quality is hard.

· In what way were you successful in capturing your partner's portrait?

I think that I was successful with the picture of my partner, because I followed my plan, of all the pictures we took, that was the one that we liked the most, because it was the one that showed one of her real qualities, because she is sweet, and in the picture she is hugging a Teddy Bear, and that is sweet.

· Describe the subject of your portrait. What is he or she doing? Include information about the setting.

The subject of my portrait is my friend Camila, and she is hugging a teddy bear, trying to show how sweet she is. The setting of the picture was at school, in the green area of the canteen. On the background there are some trees, and there is a building that is the computer lab.

· Describe the lighting of your portrait. Is the lighting natural or artificial? From what direction is the light coming?

The lighting of my portrait is natural daylight, it is noticeable, because we were out in a yard, and we weren’t inside a building. The light of the picture, is giving light to the right side of her face, so that means that the direction that the light is coming, is the East.

· Describe the composition of your portrait. Did you use the rule of thirds? Explain how your composition helps make your portrait more interesting.

When I took the picture, I was not using the rule of thirds, I thought that this picture was going to be nice if it didn’t have the rule of thirds in it, because I liked the few trees in the background, and that there is also little background because when I took the picture I zoomed in, so the picture only took a little bit of background, and a lot of her face.

· What would you do differently if you could do this project again?

I think that what I would do differently, would be to take the pictures in the morning, because there is not so much sun light, so the picture would not have so many shadows in her face. I also would like to change the quality I was describing, because she wanted to have a picture that described her as a girly girl, we had taken that picture, but as i didn't have on my sketches we couldn't do it. Other things I would like to change, is the background, because if it was a background that had more things, that just trees, it would look better.

Describe A Portrait

The portrait I chose is portrait number 13, that is about a girl. The light in this picture, is a natural daylight, and has a natural background. The position of the light with the girl is really nice because it makes a beautiful effect of showing only one side of her face lit, and the other side of her face half lightened. The subject, in this case, the girl, is completely centered, but it is nice, because there is not much background left, because the photo was taken in a vertically. What I liked about the picture was that the colors are really combined, because there are all sorts of tones of dark colors, and there aren’t any bright colors in any part of the picture. Another thing that I liked about the picture, was that her eyes, even though they are not the main subject of the picture, are really nice. Yet another thing that I really liked where those white lines she had on her forehead, it was a nice way to call the attention a little bit to her face but not too much. The last thing I liked about the picture, is that the girl was so expontanuos about having her picture taken. If I was the photographer, I don’t think I would have changed anything about the picture, because everything had its place in the picture, nothing was wrong about the picture.  

Internet History Paragraphs

In 2004 a student at Harvard University opened Facebook. Facebook is a webpage, where people can chat with each other, put pictures, or anything they want to share about their life. This is an innovation for the world, because if you have friends that are on the other side of the world, you can leave them messages as notifications, and they can answer you back even though you are not online. This may sound a lot like MSN or AOL, but it is different, because many people don’t check their mail so often, but they check their Facebook every day. People in the range of 12 to 30 years prefer using Facebook rather than a common mail, because everybody is online most of their day if they are not at school or at work, so it is easier to contact a person if you really need them.

In 1995 Amazon.com opens up. Amazon.com, is a web page, that is online shopping, this is a great web page, because if you really need something that is from another country, you can order it by Amazon. People like Amazon, because they can find everything much cheaper than for what they can find them in their own country if it is not USA. Even USA citizens like to use Amazon, because it delivers straight home or to their work, and they don’t need to go out to buy it, and it is easier to do it that way, so they don’t need to do a one our line so they can buy something that they can but in just 10 minutes at Amazon.com.

In 2008 Apple released the iPhone, giving the opportunity to the people around the world to have something small with a wireless. This is an important step in technology, because we are able to have wireless in iPods or our own phones. The iPhone has competition now, because the release of the Blackberry. The Blackberry doesn’t need to be around a wireless so it can connect to the internet, on the other hand iPhones, need to have a wireless around so they can connect to the internet. Obviously people that work prefer having a BB than an iPhone, because if they need to work they can work on their BBs. iPhones are really great, because of they have a big screen, and they are touch, and they are at the same time iPods, so you don’t need to have a phone separately from your IPod.
