from my freshmen to the ending of my sophomore year. I was
proud being a Tartan Titan. I enjoy going to sports events,
especially football games. This was at Tartans homecoming
game of 2014. Although we lost, I was proud of our team and glad
to represent Tartan Titans.

17. 3 Photographs that intrigue

me:
A. This photo intrigues me because (paste image
here):

This intrigues me because it shows the creativity and

colors. Wedding are to be perfect and this is gorgeous.
Its not an important thing, but it captures the audiences
eye and makes them feel a certain way.
B. This photo intrigues me because (paste image
here):

This intrigues me because it shows me that everyone is

beautiful in its own way. A tattoo on a person doesnt
necessarily mean theyre a bad person. A person can tell
that someone has a soft side just looking through their
eyes and postures. Even a smile can have an impact.

C. This intrigues me because (paste image here):

This intrigues me because its a simple picture of

someone doing something simple but it captures and
focuses on something thats important to that person. Its
fascinating when a person can take something so simple,
but make it into some type of art.

18. Why did you take this class? Because it was one of the best options of all
choices I had for my seventh hour.
19. What are your experiences with photography? Be specific. I've taken a
photography class before.

20. What do you want to learn

most in this photography class? I
want to learn how to create a picture
that's simple but yet it's still an amazing
powerful picture.
21. My perfect day: My perfect day
was when my boyfriend and I sat on the
cliff and watched the sunset. The pitch
of light orange, lavender, and a slight
bit of cream was so relaxing. Hand in
hand, thanked God for a miracle, and
prayed to stay together for as long as
we can.
22. Do you have your own camera,
a camera on your phone, or access
to one that you will be able to use

anytime? Please explain No I don't

have my own camera. I have a iPod, but
I'm uncertain of its quality for this
particular class.
