Action and Emotion

In the picture above the two girls are doing an experiment. The experiment seems to excite and scare them at the same time when it "explodes." Water, or whatever kind of liquid it is, goes almost every direction, looking like a snow globe when its shaken.

Best Story

The girls who are handing out food are helping the homeless on their own time, because they want to. They care enough to help them even if they have to do something else. The first homeless lady in the picture seems to be grateful that she can eat another meal.

Most Interesting Stuff

Two people are wearing gloves and masks while there's this mysterious "glow" near their waists. The "glow" is more like a mist, or a fog, but it really isn't. The picture is focused on what the two people are doing, they kind of take up most of the right and left sides while the mist takes up more of the focus and center of the picture.

Academic and Community Service Picture

The picture I chose it called "Drop the Bass" by Maria Martinez. Theres a girl in the background pouring/putting paint onto a speaker as it plays music with enough bass to make the paint move. The pain practically jumps from the speak into the air and I thought that it was cool that the paint does that. One rule that comes up in this picture is balance, the paint is in the middle of the photo, the speaker is distributed almost evenly among the bottom of the picture, and the girl in the background who is putting the paint on the speaker just seems to balance the picture out too.

Classroom and Around the Campus

1. The pictures I looked at today were focussed on school activities and what happens in the picture, like the action. At Bowie, I think that some of the best places to look at the academic activity would be the gym, work out room, science rooms, color guard, and the JROTC.

2. There no real specific classrooms I would like to go to, it just depends on what that class is doing that day.

3. I, as a photographer, would try to find the "right" moment, like when the flag from the color guard is coming down and the guard is about to catch it. Once again, it just has to be the "right" time.
