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!)

  1. I am so proud of you!! I didn't realize the photo that HJ ran was yours!! Wow! That is great! I hope you will win something with the HubBub contest too!
    Your thesis is on the right track although a little rough right now. I will be happy to help you next week- check with me.
