This day was a remember-able day because this was BHS Prom and it was really fun. That day is a day to remember because of everything that happened that night.

Ten years

In ten years, I see myself being behind a camera. Either being a professional photographer or being behind a camera for filming. I included pictures with myself and my camera because I love using my camera. Freshmen year is when I started to enjoy taking pictures. Sophomore year is when i got my very first camera which is the one i use today.

 spicy Laos food

Sushi

the lighting on the tacos and torta really define the food. the lighting makes it look more juicy. The photographer of the tacos and torta placed the food in a certain way to get the best lighting.


having fresh food on a plate looks better than if it was a couple of days late. Using natural lighting looks better if it was done in a dark area with horrible lighting. Food looks ten times better in natural lighting than using light bulbs. When having natural lighting and a shallow depth of field, it creates more interest to the picture of food. After having natural lighting and a shallow depth of field, props are a must. Having the right types of props is the  way to have a successful picture of food. After that, taking the picture in a certain angle can really improve the picture. Then to top it off, you'll need to focus on something that is eye catching. If you see something that stands out, focus on that specific subject to get the best picture.

vacation photos

some photos that i took in St Louis over spring break.

these beautiful hands holding this unique, dope, cool hat.

As you can see, i picked Mr. Lawler as my favorite teacher in the school. Mr. Lawler is not like the rest of the teachers in this school. His personality can make anyone laugh, feel trustworthy, or be relaxed. Lawler can joke around and make you laugh but also teach the class or anyone that needs help. He is a unique teacher.

His personality shaped how i am today. Being in high school and having Lawler as my teacher made my years. Im glad i had Lawler as my teacher. If he wasn't my teacher, school would be very dull and slow. He is a great teacher and very creative.

 This one grabbed my attention because Obama is reading and he is a president

 I like this one because Taylor Swift is on the cover. shes gorgeous

I like this one because this is snoopy. Who doesn't like snoopy? Also there are many other snoopys doing random stuff

 

It all started when i met this girl named Sonia. Ive known her since 8th grade but we became best friends when freshmen year started. 

After i became friends with Sonia, Ive seen this girl named Alegna in the school hallways. Sonia was an acquaintance with her. Sonia introduced me to Alegna. After that all three of us became best friends.

After i met Alegna, i knew this kid named Alex. He was in my English class freshman year but we never talked to each other. Alex was friends with my friends and from there he has also been a really good friend of mine.

  Then there came Oliver. Oliver is that one guy that randomly shows up and becomes friends with you. From there we became a family. In this picture we decided to go out and eat on the east side of Joliet. Someone mention that have 5 people is odd and that we need one more person to have an even number.

So Alex and Oliver invited a guy named Gio (the kid in the red shirt). Gio was the perfect person to join the family. Gio was friends with Oliver and Alegna. 

The family that we have wanted to go to homecoming but Sonia and Gio did not want to go. So we decided to go without them and have a good time at homecoming with the four of us plus other people.

This picture was taken at Dennys after Finals. We wanted to get breakfast after finals. We had a good times at dennys. As you can see there is also another person behind Gio and that is david. He tagged along.  

Whats a family Without a christmas card! On the last day of Christmas we had a secret Santa between the six of us. On that day we decided to go to alegna's house and open the gifts. Alegna had a smart idea and said we need a family christmas card! We took the picture and from there we are still a family of 6.

photographer story

My first one that i picked was the day in the life of Laurinda by sightsavers. The reason i chose this one was because right away the Cover picture drew my attention and made me want to read about it. Seeing pictures of the third world makes me upset but also wants me to keep on reading because it is interesting. I like to see how the third world lives and on how they manage to survive. 

My second story that i picked was The Faroe Islands by jeppe Kuld.The reason why i chose this story because anything about nature amuses me Especially anything that is about island because island pictures are really amazing to see. Seeing pictures of nature is a beautiful thing.

Took this picture because i like the sunset

Tree in Chicago.

The stadium in Chicago.
