Architecture shoot preview assignment

Details / Greyscale:

This is a good picture for detail because it is just a detail of part of the building.

Surroundings:

 I chose this picture for surrounding because it shows what the building is.

Angels and shapes:

 I took this picture for angles and shapes because it isn't a right angle and it has a couple of different shapes put onto it.

Patterns:

 This is a good picture for patterns because the lines and the lights repeat.

 Light:

 I chose this photo for light because it has a lot of windows and shows how the light interacts with the building.

Action Shoot Final

Picture 1:

Damon Griffin is a senior at Akins High School who enjoys playing outside, and likes being active. If it was up to him he would stay outside and play all day long.

Photo 2:

Jonatan Aguilar, a junior at Akins High School drives his car to school on a cloudy day in may. He didn't realize that he was driving 10mph above the speed limit, a cop saw and he got a ticket for speeding in a school zone.

Picture 3:

A very talented student named Damon Griffin is practicing his kicking in order to get better. Recently he had twisted his ankle and is trying to get better.

Architecture Preview 5-4-2011

This is a good picture for "detail" because it doesn't show all of the building and it is close up to the building.

I chose this picture for "light" because the top of the building is basically a bunch of windows and has a lot of natural light coming in through them.

I think that this is a good picture for "patterns" because the yellow and the white but also the building itself, part of it looks horizontal and others look vertical.

This is a good picture for "angels and shapes" because the view point of the picture changed, and also the building has different shapes.

I chose this picture for "surrounding" because the house or building looks like a big rock, and the ground and background blend in with it.

Austin District Holds Community Budget Forum Tonight:

Who? Who is involved? Who does/did the situation affect? Who said so?

All of the Austin ISD Schools.

What? What is happening? What did happen? What are the consequences? What is different about this? What are the choices?

They are cutting teachers, because there budget has been lowered.

When? When did or will this happen? When was this discovered?

In between the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011.

Where? Where did or will this happen?

In the Austin ISD School District.

Why? Why did this happen or will it happen?

Because they can't afford to pay all of the teachers.

How? How did it or will it happen? How much does it cost? How many people does this affect? How do you feel about this?

This will affect the teachers that will lose their job, but also the kids because their classes would have to get bigger and that will make it harder to learn. I think that they could try their best on not cutting off any of the teachers because it is much easier to learn in a classroom with a small number of students.
