4. The one single photograph that I took that changed my entire view on photography is the following photograph which I took during the first month of the school year.

This Photograph changed my entire view on photography because it is the very first photograph where I was able to capture depth accurately. The accomplishment of capturing depth was a surreal feeling and made me appreciate what photographers in the field do in order to create a great picture. Though this is not a great picture by any means, it gave me the passion to continue to try to create great photographs.

5. In photography, shape and form are two completely different, but oddly related concepts. Shape refers to the concrete physical shape of the subject or other aspects of the picture, such as a basketball being spherical. Form on the other hand, does not refer to only the physical aspect of the objects in the photograph, form also refers to the role the subject of the photograph plays in the photograph itself.

6. The difference between pattern, and repetition, is that pattern refers to a noticeable reccurrance in a photograph, where this constantly repeating aspect of the photograph creates a certain design or pleasurable viewing phenomena. Repetition on the other hand, is the repeating aspect of the photograph that involves the exact same aspect of the photograph being constantly repeated, and this does not always create a larger pleasurable viewing phenomena.

I believe that out of these three projects, that my Multicultural Week Story Project is my best project. There are a multitude of reasons as to why I believe this, but the main reason is that this project shows the human side of photography. I believe that the point of photography is to tell stories through pictures, and no one can tell stories better than people themselves. The pictures that I took during the week of festivities shows the human side and the vulnerable side to the people we see every day, and those we don't see as often. These individuals have their own stories, and they combine to create one big story, and I am extremely proud that I was given the honor to capture these photographs of individuals who play a large role in our community, especially during a week of diversity and acceptance.

Student Website Reviews

Period 1 Weebly Site Review: Salik Himmati

The best photo was the photo of the body of water, with a city on the hill on the other side of the water. This is the best photo because it shows the beauty of the bay and life around such a peaceful place.

Period 2 Weebly Site Review: Ethan Hsu

The best photo was the photo was of the boy playing football, as he reaching to catch the football itself. This is the best photo because it shows a passion for the game and how it feels to be a part of this.

Period 3 Weebly Site Review: Ethan Hu

The best photo was the photo of the mountain pass, while it was cloudy, which gives it a great sense of nature and beauty.

Multi-Cultural Week Photo Story

Story with a Photo - Buying My Friend Food

On Wednesday of Multicultural week, I bought my friend, Abbas, food, as he did not have enough money to buy his own food. Out of an act of kindness I bought him food, and a day later, he payed me back by buying me food as well.

MSJMCW Story

This week is a special one at Mission San Jose, it is Multicultural Week , a week of appreciation for different cultures and an opportunity for students to buy food from multiple different stands. On Monday I bought a gyro from the Muslim Student Association, and also helped the club carry the gyros to the stand itself. Helping the club and also buying food from the club made me feel as if I made a positive impact on their multicultural week.

Principles of Design- Rythm

Principles of Design Variety

Principles of Design - Balance

Principles of Design - Pattern

This photograph shows pattern because the photograph contains many rods that lead into walkways, but these rods are not all exactly alike, and this similarity but slight difference creates a pattern.

Principle of Design - Repetition

Repetition in this case is shown by the poles on the right side of the photograph, these poles are exactly identical, and do not create a pattern.

Principles of Design - Movement

Shutter Speed and Everything After

Partner - Karthik
1. The shutter speed in this case is fast, the motion is captured clearly, no blurry lines.
2. Karthik-The one rule of composition that I see in this photograph is the rule of depth, this picture exhibits depth masterfully, with the background behind the trucks giving the photo a new feeling.
Yuvraj- The one rule of Composition that I saw was that the subject was off center.
3. In this picture there are many lines seen, this includes the outlines of the trucks themselves and the divider of the highway.
4. Yes there is repetition in this picture, there are multiple trucks throughout the photo itself.

No Picture with Mr. Farley's children since I was absent Tuesday.

Best Use of Variety

Photo #7 in the gallery, "Documenting the Blues in the Mississippi Delta" is the photo my group chose that represents the best Variety. I chose this photograph because the mother is holding two children, and though they are twins, they are not the same. There is also a background that represents variety, with trees and then grass.
