Kaitlyn Manire's Blog:
http://kaitlynsphotojournalisblog.blogspot.com
1. What is the name of the magazine that you looked at and who made it?
Music Illustrated
2. List two things you liked about the magazine cover
The black and white definitely sets the tone for the whole cover, and it adds a lot for the whole effect.

2. List two things you liked about the magazine cover
The black and white definitely sets the tone for the whole cover, and it adds a lot for the whole effect.
3. Suggest something to the creator to improve the cover
Although the text would be covering the image partly, maybe she could have put all of the text on the left side where she is sitting, so that at least you could still see the piano.
4. Why did you pick this cover? Specifically what attracted your eyes.
I picked this magazine because I myself play an instrument, and I can relate to this magazine.
5. Is there a bar code?
Yes, there is a barcode, in the lower left corner.
6. Did that make it more "magazine-like"?
Yes, it contributed to the overall affect in a positive way.
7. Can you tell if it was a portrait or self-portrait?
Self portrait because she is one of the subjects in the photo. She must have used the timer.
5 Websites
Good portraits
There is a photo of a man leaning his forehead on an instrument, which looks to be a cello(?) or bass. He has his eyes closed, and his lips are still.
1. I like this photo because it involves a relationship between a person and an instrument, which can sometimes be stressful. Maybe he is praying to it, or just exhausted or something.
2. Simplicity is a composition rule evident in this photo. The background is plain white, and isn't busy at all. it being plain doesn't distract from the subject .
3. This portrait was taken by taken by an unknown artist from Pinterest.
Oldest Things in the World
There is a photo of Mountains but it is taken from a low angle, and the mountains are white and blue, with specks of green. There is water at the bottom of the image, and it is a cool aqua, which reminds me of calm.
1. I like this photo because the ocean and mountains and this photo sort of reminds me of Oregon and Norway put together. Thats cool because they are like thousands of miles apart. I like the colors, the blue with the white. This is a beautiful picture, and apparently this is 5,500 years old, and its in Antarctica.
2. A rule of photography I see in here is balance. Instead of the photographer just taking a photo of the ocean, they positioned the camera so there were mountains in the background, balancing the whole photo.
3. This photographer was taken by a photographer named Rachel Sussmen.
Eagle Flying
This is a picture of an eagle flying with his wings spread wide, and you can see his white body, and reddish beak, with the wingtips feathered and majestic.
1. Eagles are one of my favorite animals, which is why I chose this picture. The eagle looks so relaxed and with now stress and stuff.
2. A rule of photography here is the Rule of Thirds. The eagle is situated on the right side of the shot and is looking at the left, showing where he is going, and there is space for him to go.
3. This photograph was taken by Gord Aker.
Spiral Staircase
1. I really liked this photo because the stairs in the picture are old and curving. The railing and the yellowish color of the photo make it look old and interesting. Spiral staircases are cool, so this is a cool site.
2. One rule of photography I see is leading lines. The lines of the stair railing lead the viewers eyes to the center of the photo. Other rules of photography evident here are depth and pattern. There are patterns on the wall and there is a different level of staircase in top middle and bottom of the photo.
3. Photographer Christian Richter took this photo.
Time lapse Video
1. In the video there was a time lapse of many scenic attractions in Rio de Janeiro. there was a lot of places were it was at the ocean, so there were some cool shots of waves rolling in super fast.
2. The photographer was Kate May and as been a regular photographer for a long time and was inspired to do a time lapse by a video from Tom Lowe. She uses her vacation days from work to go to places like Iceland and Rio to shoot time lapses.
3. Panasonic saw May's Iceland video and wanted her to do a time-lapse fore them. She chose to go to Rio, which has been on the top of her list for a while.
4. I learned that some cool things take time to make, and that you have to be patient and stuff.
The pictures wouldn't post, for some odd reason. Something to with "{[ERROR 4056]}clienthost15:unable to process #17 request"?

Spiral Staircase
This is a photo of a huge spiral staircase, which the arch is gently curving around the top of the photo. The golden he's and soft reds draw the eye further and further down into the depths of the photo.

Photo Shoot Review 2015
Kaitlyn Manire's Blog:
http://kaitlynsphotojournalisblog.blogspot.com
My favorite photo from her blog was the connected photo that was black and white, because it seemed simple and yet it had a deeper meaning that I could find, that the two subjects are supporting each other, physically and spiritually.
My least favorite image was the "8" photo, because it seemed cliched and I think she may have run out of things to take for 8. But I am guilty of that as well,so I can't talk.
Overall, make two positive statements about their pictures.
Her pictures exhibit understanding for the material in a way more than the average student would. The pictures are the majority of the time of a high quality than normally seen from people from her experience.
Overall, what is one area that this person could improve upon in your opinion.
I have only compliments for her pictures, and I do not see an area that she could improve upon.
Which prompt do you think they did the best portraying, from your perspective?
The best photo that portrayed the prompt was in my opinion the "Connected" photo because it can be interpreted multiple different ways. Photos with multiple interpretations are in my opinion the best because it leaves the interpretation up to the viewer, something that few photographers have the ability to do.
Which prompt do you think they did the least successfully portray, from your perspective?
The least successful portrayal of the content was the "8" photo, because it is an overused cliche, using cell phones in images, and unless they are used in a unique way, they should be, in my opinion, be avoided as props in a photograph.

| This was one of my photos because it represents people fighting for what they believe in, and that is a fundamental core of humanity, belief in oneself, and the determination so see your goal completed. |
 |
| This was one of my photos because the man's hand symbolizes his truffle to survive, and with it the rest of people people living all over the world living in unfair conditions. |
 |
| This symbolizes to me the power that nature still has over us, for we have come from nature and nature will always be our master. |
2. The best movie of 2014 was BY FAR "Interstellar" by Christopher Nolan. It was about how the Earth will eventually become inhabitable so NASA sends an aging pilot and crew through a journey across the universe to find a habitable planet. It is about how we as humans are designed to survive, and designed to adapt. It pushes the understanding of what we know as right and wrong. This is truly an edge-of-your-seat thriller.
3. The most important news story of 2014 was the Ferguson protests and inappropriate police response. The gross display by the police of Ferguson and similar one by the NYPD is a sign that the police forces of America are not in the right place. The overuse of force and crack down on First Amendment rights are a sign that more and more, this country is turning into a non-free state.
4. The most important person of 2014 was Barack Obama, because he stopped what would have been a broader conflict in the Russian theater, and he responded to the Ebola and Ferguson crisis with the determination and grace that a leader of the United States should have. No Person could claim a better feat than that, and he is perhaps the best president of the United States.
5. The most important entertainment story for me was when Robin Willaims committed suicide, not because he was especially important to me but that he committed suicide. o person should have to feel unwanted or unloved, and it is especially sad when someone who has so much feels this way.

1. I will remember my trip to London with eh band because I got so close to many of my friends, and since I am going to spend the next 4 years of my life with them, it is what I should do
2. My resolution for 2015 is to not eat Takis anymore because they are VERY BAD for my health. Like, they are literally crap.
3. I am looking forward to not being a Freshman anymore! I really don't like being the youngest, and that really sucks.
