2009 review

Favorite Picture: Lunar eclipse

I like this picture because it seems like the photographer took the picture at the perfect moment.













Favorite story: Balloon Boy




A couple had claimed that their son had floated off in a hot air balloon. Later the boy was found in their own attic. The parents were being sued for false statements.








Favorite song: I'm in Miami Trick - LMFAO



These guys are so funny in all their music videos. They released the album with this song this year. It's kind of a pointles song but it's about partying and just living life as crazy as possible.
















Favorite Movie: The Hangover



This movie was named one of the top 10 movies of this year. I love it bcause it is so stupid and pointless but it doesn't stop you from laughing throughout the whole movie.

Tips on Self-portraits and portraits

1) Use your imagination! A self-portrait can reveal a lot about you, by including props and even other people that are meaningful in your life. If you've never attempted to shoot a self-portrait, expand your creative horizons and give it a try.

2) Looking off camera – have your subject focus their attention on something unseen and outside the field of view of your camera. This can create a feeling of candidness and also create a little intrigue and interest as the viewer of the shot wonders what they are looking at. This intrigue is particularly drawn about when the subject is showing some kind of emotion.

I think for my pictures, I want to go on a eye direction picture. I want to have my subject, if not me, looking out of the frame. or maybe at something in the frame. I just don't want my subject, again if not me, looking directly at the camera unless I play with the lighting and get their eyes to be vibrant.

Portraits and Self Portraits

I love this picture mainly because she has a dress on her already made of some other pictures. It makes the picture intreging to the eye. I enjoy looking at the picture because of the backround and how she's holding a camera to take a picture of herself.

I like this picture because the lighting and surroundings around him makes the picture seem nice and peaceful.
There are flowers surrounding him and the sky looks as though it's about to rain.

I think I want to have an outside theme, I'm not sure because I want to avoid too much exposure to light. I just want to have a scenery to go off of.

Photos of 2009

I like this picture becauseit's taken from a lower point of view. as if a person was taking the picture of this band from the floor looking up at the stage.


i chose this picture because I like that you can tell how everyone is having a lot of fun playing and how everyone around them is centering their attention on them.

I chose this picture because it really looks interesting. Basically, everything is being reflected off of the water. Also, you can clearly tell the subject of the picture is the guys with the dog. There are no distractions.

1. During my holiday break, my favorite memory was when we were getting ready for New Years. It was about 11:56 and we were doing Sparklers. It was so windy that when I turned it on I was on the grass and a spark fell on the grass and started a fire. My friends didn't notice until they saw me trying to put it out. we missed 12:00.

2. A few friends and I went down town to Barton Springs and we just hung out and played at the creek. Then we stayed there till night so we could go to the Trail of Lights. It was a very nice day. but VERY cold.

3. I think, I will always keep in mind prior events of 2009 more than anything in the actual year but one thing I do think is that with this year, I have grown older and stronger. I have learned so much this year.
