What do you love most about this time of year? Explain why you love it.

My favorite thing about this time of year is the nicer weather and lacrosse.  This is when high school lacrosse is in season and then right after this season ends I start playing with my traveling team.  So it's a time filled with lacrosse and I really love to play lacrosse. I have to say that there is one thing that I hat about this time of the year.  I hate the end of the school year. Yes, I wan't to keep life going and keep progressing and moving forward, but I really hate to say goodbye to all of my teachers and school friends that I might not see next school year or out of school. Just in general, I hate saying goodbye.

Did you complete the photo scavenger hunt? What kind of fun pictures were you able to capture? Did you do all your photos at school or did you do some at home over the weekend? Share one of your favorites.

Yes, I did finish the photo scavenger hunt. I was able to explore the school more and take a lot of pictures that I wouldn't normally take. I did most of my photos at school, but then I had to do two at home over the weekend. Going on the photo scavenger hunt definitely made me open up my eyes and actually pay attention and look at what was around me and all the different possibilities it could hold. 

 

I chose this photo as my favorite because it's just centered and it has a gold lettered word with a tiger foot print too. It represents all the colors of the school.

What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest?

I don't know anything at all about photography, but I do take a lot of pictures at family events and just with family and friends. I'm one of the only people in my family who takes a lot of pictures on vacations and at events. So without me, there probably wouldn't be any pictures at all anymore because my Dad was also one of the only people who took pictures. I will occasionally take some nature pictures, but not too often. Sometimes I will filter photos if it looks better with the filter, otherwise I don't add anything to my photos. Actually, most of the time I don't add any filters because I want anyone who sees it to see it how I saw it. I do post on social media every few weeks, usually Facebook and Instagram, which all run through my phone most of the time. I don't usually use my laptop for social media purposes though. So, if I do any editing, it's on my phone, not my laptop. I do like taking photos because I love to go back and look at them later in life and I do have an interest in learning more about photography and maybe how to edit and take better quality pictures. The pictures below are from my trip to California.

Welcome back! Go ahead. Tell me all about your Spring Break. Include photos!

(I shouldn't have to tell you this, but keep it school appropriate. Thank you, seniors.)

I didn't really do anything special for Spring Break. It was actually pretty nice to have a break from school, but Spring Break wasn't in my favor this year. It was quite ironic actually. On Friday the 13th I pulled my hamstring and for about the first week it was very painful and hurt constantly, was horrible to walk on. My mom made me go see a sports medicine doctor for it and by what he said, I could be out of a physical activity (running mostly) for two to four weeks. But it already is mostly painless again so hopefully it won't take that long. So it was a bummer that I couldn't go out and practice lacrosse (which was what I was planning on doing over Spring Break). If we wouldn't of had Spring Break, I probably wouldn't have had the free time to be outside playing lacrosse and then I probably wouldn't have pulled and wouldn't have been pulled out of gym and sports, but it happened so I guess I have to try to make the best out of it and hope it heals quick so that I can get back out on the field. I did accomplish something over Spring Break though. I learned how to juggle (hand eye coordination for goalie) in about five days. So that kept me busy. I also did my Honors Bio year long project over break, so that's out of the way. I only went out one night over break. Of course, I went with Grace to go see Insurgent. I personally loved the movie and would even go see it again. It wasn't the best Spring Break for personal records, but I'm alive and happy and that's all I could ask for.
