This is the last blog of the year. I really don't know what to say on this one. I want to thank my teacher for all the hard work and pushing he has done. Also for putting up with my odd quiet self. I want to thank all the fellow photographers who have helped me all year.  Like I said there really isn't much to say. I have all these good memories that I will never forget. God put these people in my life to better me and I feel that they have done just that. I'm really looking for what next year holds for the photography family.

These are some of the pictures I got while on staff assignments. This was when I realized that I know more than I actually thought. I was so nervous about messing something up. Then with the help of a great friend I realized that I actually knew what I was doing. I still have to work  about coming out of my shell and talking to people more. This makes me really look forward to next year even more. I really don't know what to say about these pictures. I really am excited to be on staff next year.

These are all past photo projects. I know that there are quite a few self assigned projects that I didn't complete I really want to do those. The first photo is painting with light. I really grasped the idea and did it quite well. That one was really fun and I plan on doing it again. The second was recreating an ad. This was the photo that taught me how to do a high key, with the teachers help. I think this really helped me in the idea of studio shots. The next one is the creeper project. I didn't do good on this one. I couldn't get the person properly exposed and have the shadow show up in the background.  The next one is the brenizer method. It took me a little bit to be able to do these. These are something that I need to continue doing so I don't forget how to do them. Overall I feel that I learned how to do many different things to change or create images.

These are the headshot/body shots I have taken over the past few years. The first one I took was a year ago. At that time I didn't understand what aperture did. I really didn't understand anything. The second was at the beginning of this school year. We were learning how the aperture changed a photo. This is when everything really clicked with me and aperture. The last one is when we were trying to overpower the sun with a flash. In this photograph I wasn't able to do that, but I do have some that I did. When I look back I realize how much I have learned in the past year. I really do enjoy photography, and I feel like next year will be better.

These are the pictures that I got for the photo assignment of Better Block Texarkana. I'm really not a big fan of the second picture. I don't like it because the background is underexposed. Also there really isn't anything to the picture; it's just trees. I like the first one because it shows a little of what the event was about. It really doesn't show the booths and everything going on, but you can get a general idea from it. I like it because it is properly exposed, and not really off like the second photograph. I really don't know what to say about the photos because there really wasn't anything to getting these pictures.

When I went to Better Bock Texarkana I was assigned to shoot for the online newspaper, but these are the photos I got just for fun. I realize that these are nothing special, but I like them. On the second one I cut off part of the first canister. On the first one I have no idea what is in the very bottom of the picture. I feel really happy with these pictures though. I really feel like my strong point is photographing animals or things not people.

I'm finally catching up on everything with blogs and websites. I hadn't realized that I had gotten so far behind on blogs. When I realized this I got so stressed out about trying to get everything updated. I really am looking forward to next year because even though it will be stressful I know it will be fun. I really wish I had some photos to put on this blog, but I really don't have anything to upload. So here are some photos to look back on my photojournalism year, when I knew almost nothing about photography.

These are the photos of Nakita Marin, she is a really good artist. The assignment was to catch her at lunch, but by the time I saw the assignment lunch was ending, so I had to follow her to class to get the picture. I really wish that I didn't have the background that I have.  also wished that I would have gotten a different angle to get more of her face, but if I did that I would lose the piece of artwork. I kind of wished that she had a piece of art that was colored so it would show up better. I really like her facial expression because it shows that she is into what she does.

These are the pictures of Amanda Hackelman. The assignment was to get a picture of her reading her script. I really wish that I could have gotten her to look up so it doesn't look like she is sleeping. Also I really wish that the script would have had a cover so you could actually tell what she was reading, instead of a binder. I wish that the the lighting was a little better because the left side of the photo is brighter than the other. Also I wish that the railing wasn't in the back of the photo. Other than that I feel like these photos turned out really well.

These are the tigers got talent photos that I got. I'm quite surprised that they turned out so good. I really wish that I would have gotten closer to the stage. I like that I caught the expression on the faces of the singers. I really wish that I could have gotten more pictures with the people's eyes open. Other than that I like the photos I got.
