Grandma on motor scooter is slowing down traffic on road because she refuses to let cars pass her. Berta May, 86, slowed down traffic on Slaughter Ln. at 5:30 in the afternoon because she refused to let cars pass her 9mph motor scooter as she headed home from the grocery store. Old man is falling asleep as his cake is burning up with over 85 candles on his birthday at his family home. Schubert Smith, who just turned 89 yrs old, fell asleep at the table on Thursday the 27th as his birthday cake blew up into flames after all the candles conjoined, but his family said the fire was put out immediately. Grandma forces a booth to close down in Six Flags because she refuses to get up and join in the "childish" games this Wednesday. Ruby Ferguson, 81, forces the workers to close down the "Out Of Control" booth after she disagreed with the morals of the game, then continued to mock the workers on Wednesday, Oct. 26th.

Warm-Up

1. I felt upset, sorry, terrible, and like I was unable to do anything. 2. I think that this statement is very accurate because it isn't the definition of them, but their actual lives and what happened to them. 3. I don't think I could take photos in a situation like this. Partly because i would become to emotional, and would have a hard time looking through the photos. I don't think that the pictures I could take would be so full of sadness. I think I would try to capture the happiness in my persons hardest days. 4. I don't think I would have anything to say. Of course I would say something about his loss, but I don't think I could find the words. I might thank him for allowing everyone to see his amazing photos.

Abandoned Theme Parks

1. I would like to visit Takakanonuma Greenland, Hobart, Japan. I would like to visit because it looks really intact. It also looks like you can climb up into the rides and the buildings. It looks fun to explore and crawl around in. The fog makes then park look extra creepy. 2. 3. Some cool places would be like a cave, the glaciers, abandoned older-era building, the jungle, an abandoned mall, and the worlds largest treehouse. 4. 5. It would be fun to take photos there because of all the great places you have to shoot. You can also have a lot of different angles to also shoot the forest outside. I think you could get a lot of beautiful pictures with the natural light. you would end up with a color palette probably made up of browns and greens. 6. The treehouse is located in Tennessee, so i would need money for a plane ticket or another form of transportation. I would probably only need a camera and maybe if it was shaky, a stabilizer. The owner offers tours, so it wouldn

1. I think that the photos he took were amazing and breathtaking. He spent months in Africa and even waited eighteen days for a few photos. I liked how committed he was to his subject. I also like how you can see the landscape in a lot of the photos. I also liked how committed he was to his cause. 2. 3. This is a photo of a cheetah and her cubs on a cliff-like thing thing. This is my favorite photo because you can see the landscape in the back, but you can also see the cheetahs closely. I also like how the light is hitting the cheetahs, and you can see their longer hairs. 4. There is simplicity in this photo because the background is not complicated and the cheetahs are in focus.  5. Brandt photographs using a Pentax 67 camera with a modified lens to create a soft-focus effect. 6. He wanted to show the animals in their environment and in their 'state of being". 7. He hopes that his photography will inspire people to help stop the poaching. 8."There is somet

1. I think that I chose the pictures I chose because of the people in them.  I think that I wanted to pick them because Joel Meyerowitz showed those people and the  world around them. Robert Doisneau- Sunday Morning Joel Meyerowitz- Blind Man, Spain 1967 William Klein- Horn & Hardart, Lexington Avenue New York, 1963 Joel Meyerowitz  NYC New Year's Eve, 1965 Joel Meyerowitz 2. In the first photo titled New York, 1963 by Joel Meyerowitz, I see a kid probably not wanting to get in the car. I see a man holding open the door. I also see the seemingly bland buildings in the back. I smell the city, and the smell of taxi exhaust. I smell the musty inside or the car and maybe an air freshener. I also smell the cologne of the man holding open the door.I hear cars and taxis honking their horns. I hear the sounds of people talking and walking. Also, I hear the person urging the child to get into the car. I taste the smoke in the air, crisp air of what seems like f

Mural Project Questions and Answers

1. One theme that we could do around Bowie is shooting electives, activities, and clubs that go on during and after school. 2. I think that maybe we should do both to have options and different photos. 3. I would want to put the mural is maybe on the sides or behind the stairwells.
