Story with a photo- Stand Still

I actually took this photo by accident, which is something I try to remember- that good things can often come out of mistakes. I was up late finishing an application when I took this, and in a rush to finish before the deadline. The swirling, out of control movement is representative of how I feel right now. These next few weeks of my junior year i going to very hectic. From SATs to AP tests, I have a lot my plate.

MSJMCW Story

Where did our onion rings come from? My mom. But before that a nice lady working in a hot, stuffy little stand carefully fried thirty bags of onion rings. She fried them in hot oil after dipping them in batter. And before that she carefully cut dozens of onions. Did her eyes cry? Or was she used to the sting. Where the onions from from a private farmer or a large supermarket chain? Someone unloaded tons of onions out of the truck onto the market shelves. Preceding that, an individual drove the gas guzzling truck from who knows where. Did the same person who loaded the onions also pick them? How long do to onions take to grow? A machine or a person planted the seeds in the blistering heat of the early summer. I sold the small bag of rings for three dollars, but how much was it worth to the earth?

Shutter Speed and Everything After

Partner: Aarti Panda

1. Shutter speed is quite fast, possibly around 1/500.
2. One rule of composition displayed in this photo is the use of diagonals. The lines of the freeway create a diagonal bringing your eye toward the key component, the trucks.
3. An element of art seen in this photo is color. The cool gray ombre background creates a chilling effect. The bright crisp white lines contrast with the bright colored trucks. The color may not be screaming at you but is a key component to the photo's beauty. The second rule of composition seen here is perspective. As the photo was taken in the center of the highway, the lines of the side of the highway are drawing your eye into the center.
4. A principle of design reflected in this photo is emphasis because the trucks catch your attention and stands out,the bright trucks contrasting with the cool sky. The fading gray draws attention to the trucks as the freeway angle and lines emphasizes them too.

"Tuesday with Farley's Kids"

The shutter speed is a medium speed maybe about 1/250
