Finally!

Finally turned in rough draft of research paper it still needs a lot of work but I finally feel like I accomplished something. Tonight I went to take pictures of Erica Rohlmans Senior Project as apart of my project I am taking pictures for other seniors Senior Projects. So far I have taken some for both Erica and Carrie and have many up coming. I now have five different families to schedule for pictures and I am pretty excited! Glad I have  finished rough draft of my paper. Cannot wait to get started on taking family pictures! Knightly News is still going great each week and shooting Oakbrook events is keeping be busy but going great. Also my mentor Mrs. Ledbetter is keeping me busy but I enjoy being busy.

Good News and Research Paper

After entering photo contest I ended up only being able to enter two photos, but I won second place and honorable mention in the same category! Along with that all those pictures I have been taking paid off. I got published in the Hearld Journal with my picture from the boys soccer team winning state. It was like a dream come true seeing my name in the paper.  I put my senior project in the Knightly News telling about how I am taking pictures any one interested please call me and the money goes to my a yearbook camera. It goes out to the whole school tomorrow but a few hours after it got sent to teachers and staff I already got someone already wanting pictures. I cannot wait for the results for my project. I hope to get a lot of customers. For my research paper I am thinking my topic will be about photo journalist and how they should not edit their photos.

Thesis:  Photojournalist should not use photo editing programs to alter photographs in anyway by contrasting, cropping, and other editing tools photos are changed entirely from their original format making photo viewers/readers no longer believe the things they see in pictures and making things that are not real appear to be  thus giving photojournalist a bad name all of which changing photojournalism forever. (STILLWORKING!)

Pictures....More Pictures

Today I entered a photo contest for the Piedmont State Fair. I really would love to win the photo contest but my main point is to get my pictures out in public view.  Tomorrow I will be going on a field trip with k-4 to the Apple Farm and to the Fire Station to take pictures. After the Field Trip I am going to Grandparents Day then I am going to get my Senior Pictures taken. I am really looking forward to talking to the professional photographer about my project and about his career because I really want to do something with Photography when I am older. Along with Knightly News this week I have been busy organizing photos and helping put new pictures on Oakbrook Brochures. After I get my Senior Pictures taken I am going to the Boys Soccer Game to.....well you guessed it TAKE MORE PICTURES.....no worries I am enjoying it!
