Value Scale


Question #2

Q: Which is more descriptive, a text that describes an event, or a photograph? Why?

A: Really, it depends on the event. Someone could write a story with so much detail you feel like you can reach out and touch it and have an awful photo that show no emotion what so ever. If it is a good, emotional photograph, it can be the most descriptive thing in the world. Photos show things that cannot be described when taken correctly. They show emotion, color, sight. Writing just tells about an event that happens at some point. To be able to see it with your own two eyes, you see so much more.
    Typically I read books based off of actors or tv shows I watch. Because I have a physical picture in my head of what each character sounds like and looks like, I can easily paint a photograph in my head of what is going on in that scene. When I read a Torchwood or Doctor Who novel, they typically go into so much detail that I feel like you really are chasing after something.

Question One


Q: Define art and/or photography based on your personal life experience.

A: Art is a way to express yourself in a way of color and feeling. You get your emotions down on paper and out there to be seen later on. It takes time and effort to create something beautiful that you'll be proud of.

Photography is about capturing a moment in time to make it last forever, even after the memory has passed. I believe that by capturing a photo, you can see the world in a different way, a better view. You can show the world who you are and how you feel about the things around you.

Scavenger Hunt: Project 1


Reflection: For this photograph, I took a bird bath and set 
a globe into it so that the sun would make the water
turn all sorts of different colors. 

High Point: This is the sun at its highest point of the day


The End: The last page of one of the funniest books
I've read. It states, Till next time, goodnight and -from
the bottom of my heart- I thank you.

Red: Red makes me think of death. These are poisonous
berries that live in my backyard. 

Three: Three cars, all of which won three trophies 
a piece. 

Electric: I think it describes itself....

Movement

Shadow: My dad's lame soooo 

Cold: Ice cubes sitting in a glass with condensation 
slowly dripping down the side

Hot: In my attempt to make tea, I burned myself
and realized how hot a burner is.

Energy: My dog is a three year old ball of energy 
that never slows down. Don't get in her way, it hurts to
be dive-bombed. 

Oversized: My dog is much too big next to my tiny kitty 

Contemplation: Wondering if she should attack my 
face or not. She did. 

Midnight: Not actually midnight but the moon looked
really nice.

Familiar: Four books of things I love very much.
They feel safe to me. Pictured are, John Barrowman,
Esther Earl, The complete Sherlock Holmes collection, 
and a photography book about Australia. 

Warning: Road work. Must mean slow down...

Sharp: Do not stick your face to this. It hurts. 

Music: Some of my favorite cd's. Featuring, Hank Green, Muse,
Joy Formidable, and Awolnation. 

Community: A graveyard where dead people in a 
community go. 

Soft: Not only the blanket, but yes, the 
cat is too. 

New/Old: One dog is 8, the other 3. Lame I know.

Love: A one year old can love pretty much everything.
Mostly, she just wanted the phone. 
                 
Closed: Old things aren't often opened.

Intimidating: This thing is like 300 of me.
No thank you. 

Single: One dog, one of each flower. Warning, 
dogs do not like things put on their heads. Do not try 
this unless you have a strong bond.
