1st time watching
In the video you can see a man who is driving really fast and who is nervous. Also you can see a bride getting ready to get married. The man is running late I guess and even has to stop at so many things. Everyone is watching their clocks. When the man is finally arriving at the church it gets revealed that it was not his wedding he's driving to and I assume from his and the bride's face that he was going to crash the wedding.

PhotoJ - Student of the Month Story

Two weeks ago, the freshmen Kaitlyn Manire got named as "Student of the Month" for Bowie High School, Austin, TX. She always works hard and tries to achieve the best she can. As reward she got nominated as the youngest "Student of the Month" in Bowies history.
 


After the rest of the school had around two weeks to vote for their nominees, on April 3, it was clear that Kaitlyn Manire is the next “Student of the Month” of Bowie High.
 

Kaitlyn herself feels really honored that she got nominated by her class mates and teachers because “that makes me feel special” she said.

Talking about school unfortunately she is transferring into Regents next year but when we asked her why she got into it she said “I am really good at Math and Science”.

She put a lot of effort and work into her academics to get to this point. “Working hard and always trying to achieve my goals” she said how she thinks she got nominated for “Student of the Month”.

“I obtain charisma, loyalty, kindness and I am fairly smart”, she says about herself and why she thinks she is qualified for “Student of the Month“

Also her teacher are really pleased by Kaitlyn’s work and effort she puts into school. “She is one of my best students and I am not surprised at all that she got nominated as Student of the Month”, Biology teacher Jessica Davis says about Kaitlyn.

About her future Kaitlyn is not sure what she wants to be or where she wants to go to college but she is definitely continuing to work as hard as she can.

4 major characteristics of paper are paper thickness and opacity, color brilliance, paper finish & paper handling.

ISO Brightness: It's the European standard that quantifies the brightness of paper as it would be perceived in an environment that is illuminated with a mixture of cool-white fluorescence and some unfiltered daylight. The ISO will always be a little brighter than the TAPPI for the same paper.

TAPPI Brightness: It's the North American standard that quantifies the brightness of paper as it would be perceived in an environment that is illuminated with a mixture of cool-white fluorescence and some filtered daylight. The ultra-violet light component of TAPPI brightness is the lowest of any standard.

PhotoJ - Portfolio Analysis

1. 
a. Name of photographer - Daryl Peveto
b. General focus of portfolio (photoj, sports, stories, etc.) - sports/action, trip to Peru/Mexico, old people in sports
c. List three problems that the judges noted with the portfolio - "good commercial photos for medical companies"; "the captions are killing me […] I don't need that many words"; they didn't really talk about the problems, they just skipped the pictures they didn't like
d. List two things the judges like - "nicely lite"; "nice balance of color"
e. What is your overall impression of the photographer? What did you like or not like? I actually really liked the pictures because they were different in my opinion. I think the photographer really experimented with the angles where he shot from and I really liked that.

2.
a. Name of photographer - Nick Adam
b. General focus of portfolio (photoj, sports, stories, etc.) - people, sports
c. List three problems that the judges noted with the portfolio - "out of focus" ; "too tight, cut out his head to much" ; "if you have to read the caption of a picture to figure out what's going on, this is not working"
d. List two things the judges like - "it takes a strong person to take that picture and a even stronger person to pose for a picture like that, credit all around" ; "framed"
e. What is your overall impression of the photographer? What did you like or not like? I liked it but I would say for only one story, the pictures were just too different.


3.
a. Name of photographer - Melissa Goldenb. General focus of portfolio (photoj, sports, stories, etc.) - people
c. List three problems that the judges noted with the portfolio - "the most important part is out of focus"; "way too much going on"; "more than you want to know"
d. List two things the judges like - "very nice portrait […] you got everything you need to know in this picute"; "that's nice"
e. What is your overall impression of the photographer? What did you like or not like? I didn't really like the pictures, because they were kind of boring just like the judges said. They weren't anything special.

4. Winner - Dustin Snipes
a. What did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it? composition, angles the pictures were taken of, the moments
b. What do you see as strengths? Do you see any weaknesses? I agree with all the strengths the judges already mentioned I also like the way he cut most of his pictures and framed those "moments". I think that photographer has a great eye for great pictures and I don't really see any weaknesses with his pictures.

5. Contest Recap
a. Briefly describe the process the judges went through in deciding the winner - They looked through the portfolios of the ones they liked again but in a general view of the stories and put out the ones who had one or more pictures in them the judges didn't like.

6. 
a. The judges didn't like the picture in Part 2: No Pro / No college, because it just has too much going on and you don't really know what to focus on and I totally agree with that.
b. The judges really like the picture with the girl and the goose in Part 5: Best Student Image, but I can't understand why because I think the composition is not really good and I think it was cut too much and that it would look way better if you would see more from the girl and the goose.

I really like these two websites because their designs are both clean and the focus is on the pictures. The first one has more option to choose the style etc. but personally I prefer a white, basic, clean website just like the second link is offering you.

Details - because it is a picture of a small part of the house. A water fountain is definitely a detail, especially when it is such a special one.

Light - because the sunlight is clearly shining trough the colored windows. It is also reflected by the stone/wall.

Patterns - because this room looks like a nautilus shell too. Not only the ground, but also the seats and the walls.

Angles & Shapes - because you can see a lot of different shapes from the outside and inside. You can see that everything in the house is without harsh edges.

Surroundings - because the whole house is shown, even with its garden.

Nautilus House - Mexico

1. Who is the architect (the person who built it)? Javier Senosiain
2. When was it built? 2006
3. Where is it located? Mexico City, Mexico
4. Is it a private building or can you visit it? Private
5. Is there information on how much it cost to build? $218,000
6. Is there a reason the building was created or the history of the building itself? It was built to resemble living in a nautilus nutshell and is a tribute to its architects "Bio-Architecture". Senosiain intends the unusual shape and design to inspire local people about history, tradition and cultural roots and how we are all one with nature.
7. Why did you pick this building? I think it is a "pretty darn cool" house to live in. I'm also really interested in architecture and buildings in general. It seems amazing how to create a house like that where you can even live in.

1. My favorite picture is the one with the baby in the water having the time of its life.

2. No for me some of them are so good that I don't really believe there are just taken with a phone even if I know from experience that you actually could take really good pictures with a phone.

3. I don't think apps might have impacted the pictures so much because I know that when the photo is blurry or bad in any way no app could improve that part.

4. I think it is really important to look at patterns and that I just have to look for spontaneous moments because as we can see they're giving us the best pictures.

Will is running to the cafeteria to get lunch first and not to wait in the long lunch lines. He was always a fast runner when he was in track.

On the way to the cafeteria he is almost tripping over his own feet. Because he saw the girl he liked.

After lunch he has to hurry up get to his classes. The teachers never cared if the lunch line was long or not, they just cared if he was on time or not.

While she is trying to stay still, Shayla notices that the sun is shining. She was really happy about that.
