1. Black History Month
This story was about how African-Americans have affected the world today and how much they have given up for everyone to have freedom and even just the ability to vote, including their lives. And although some may say racism is getting better to this day, some think that it isn't - it's just going backwards.
Who: African Americans/teachers at Bowie and students
What: Their opinions on Black history month
Where: Bowie High school/Worldwide
When: The month of February
Why: To learn about the African-American culture and appreciate what they have done for us.
How: By using music, food and education to teach us all about the African American culture and how much they have affected us.
Who was quoted: Joyce Brisco, Amanda Pfeiffer, Oluwaseyi and Oluwaseun Odufuye, Jeremy Faulkner, Vicki Hebert.
What was the strongest quote: "People should educate themselves in black history and then they should get the importance of staying educated, the importance of unity, of being brave and always standing up for your rights. I feel like people need to come together more right now to fight, especially since we have a racist misogynist as a president. We need to stand up together."
Did the lead sentence make you want to keep reading? No, it was mainly the headline and art that pulled me in - I wanted to read more about what people's opinions were and what stories they would tell.
2. Peaceful protesters hope to solve long-lasting problems
This story was about the women's march after the inauguration of Donald Trump and how it was non-violent. As for the people who thought it wouldn't do anything - it can catch the attention of people who can do something.
Who: Women, men and anything in between who believe in gender equality.
What: The protests downtown
Where: Downtown, around the city
When: Inauguration of Donald Trump
Why: Belief in equality through everyone
How: The non-violent protests around downtown and creating a "scene" to catch attention to the people with more power.
Who was quoted: no one.
What was the strongest quote: there wasn't any quotes, but this whole story gave me chills throughout. It really catches the scene, and although I couldn't be there to support anything, I still love to see pictures of it and stories - they really touch me.
Did the lead sentence make you want to keep reading? YES!!!
3. Running off the beaten path
This story was about Dawson Warken who is a big runner and continues to run through his all 4 years of school. He is still unsure about continuing it after high school, depending on his times.
Who:Dawson Warnken
What: He loves running and has won awards for his times and his team.
Where: Bowie High School, outside of school.
When: All four years of high school
Why: He loves running
How: Coaches inspired him
Who was quoted: Warken, Hannah Erb, Alejandro Garcia
What was the strongest quote: "Dawson is a very social kid who is great with all other students. He's so nice to everyone that he encounters and is the most down to earth person I know. I'm sure all of his friends would say the same thing."
Did the lead sentence make you want to keep reading? YES.
Photos:
A2 - Teacher of the year photo
I love the photo because he looks very happy in the photo. Too many teacher now always look like they hate their jobs - students will not be inspired to go to school if their teachers hate going to school, too. Students want motivation, and when they are not getting it, they are yet again blamed for attendance problems and failing grades - TEACHERS LISTEN UP! YOU ARE THE START OF IT ALL.
What rule of composition do you see in the photo? Rule of thirds.
Who or what is the main subject? Marco Bazan
Is the photo exposed properly? Yes.
Do you see evidence of a shallow or deep depth of field? shallow.
B1- Close Connection
I love this photo because, first of all, I love horses, but second of all, you can see the connection she has with her horse and how comfortable they feel with each other.
What is the rule of composition? framing?
Who or what is the main subject? Celeste and her horse.
Is the photo exposed properly? It's kind of small, but it looks like it.
Do you see evidence of a shallow or deep depth of field? Shallow.
B7 - Focusing on the Yo-yo
I love this photo because it doesn't look like he's in the middle of a chaotic situation, he's in front of a very simple background and it creates dimension with the yo-yo.
rule of composition - rule of thirds?
main subject - Matthew Lane
exposed properly? yes.
shallow or deep? deep.
A8 - On the Beam
I love this photo because you can see her great form and she is frozen in time upside down. It creates a really cool image.
rule of composition - avoiding mergers
main subject - Kate Stubbs
exposed properly? yes.
Shallow or deep? deep.
B8 - starting young
I absolutely LOVE this photo. I get chills every time I look at it. I am such a supporter of this whole thing women are starting to do, and men.
rule of composition - framing?
main subject - the little boy
exposed properly? yes.
shallow or deep? shallow.
My favorite photo in the whole newspaper is the photo of the little boy on the back of the paper. He is so young, learning respect from such a young age, and the fact that he participated in the march gives me chills everywhere. I have so much respect for that family.
My least favorite photo in the paper would be the "behind the scenes of 'who's tommy' musical" because I know what it looks like in a newspaper when you just need a photo to fill the page and you pick something, that's what that looks like. When I see that image, I don't feel anything.
I would have loved to shoot the women's march. Whoever got to shoot that is blessed.
I would rate the photography in this issue maybe a 9 out of 10, there were just a couple photos in here that could have been better. I want to read a newspaper and have every photo I see touch me, make me feel something. I would have wanted that from this newspaper - that would've given this newspaper a 10.

Self Portraits and Portraits Preview
tips
- introduce a prop
- frame your subject
- add movement
Environmental Portrait
I like this photo and I picked it because it gives me emotion and makes me wonder about what they are doing, thinking, etc.
I picked this photo because it also has emotion. It's not just a guy sitting at a coffee shop, you can see that there is something on his mind.
Casual Portrait
I picked this photo because it's honestly really cute, but I really like the colors in it, her bright red gums and lips bring a lot into the photo.
I picked this photo because she is very serious. It's obviously posed, but it still gives you emotion and makes you wonder why she's so serious?
Self portraits
I really like this one because it has motion and gives the photo emotion and action.
This is something like I wanted to do with mine, create a "ghost" of you in the background. I really like this one because of the ghost.
Self Portrait plan -
My plan for my self portrait is to do something more abstract, more out of the ordinary. I really like the idea of making "a ghost" of me in the background and just put it on a low shutter speed and move a little bit. I have a blank white wall at my house, but I think it would look way cooler if I set up a black sheet and put the flash on the camera, that will give me even more of the blurred version of me in the background.

CE#4.4
1. increasing city housing supply, adopting the CodeNext rewrite of city land use ordinance, improving economic policies.
2. more than 2 billion
3. Kevin Eltife, Janlence Longorla, Rad Weaver
4. broken headphones, dried pens, old nail polish and old chargers.
5. gummy frogs
long response:
The Army Corps of Engineers was fighting to not have it done because of the risk of poisoning all of the drinking water. It changed the time span that it could be done in, instead of 2 years, it went to three months. He told people to reconsider Darcy's decision. The project will cost $3.8 billion. The oil could possibly poison all of the drinking water. They said governments and pipeline companies should be expecting violence. I don't think the pipeline should be completed. I think people should think about the people who need the drinking water and the land; do we not see yet that we are destroying our planet???? I think we should just ship the oil - truck, car, plane, I don't care. STOP DESTROYING OUR PLANET!!!

CE#4.3
short answers:
1. a so-called option that would scuttle the filibuster in favor o fa simple majority vote on Gorsuch, who sits on the 10th U.S. Circuit of the Appeals in Colorado.
2. For Joe R and Teresa Lorenza's 59th wedding anniversary, they donated $25 million to the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio.
3. silicone chips and software that can be used in a variety of devices.
4. Della Garza, Fayruz Benyousef, Texas Pioneer Foundation
5. Pile on the pillows, light a fire, supersize your sofa
long response:'
Senate Bill 4 is a bill that requires all Texas cities to enforce federal immigration laws or lose state money.
It was intended to boost penalties against offending federal governments and to extend its requirements to university police departments.
I personally think it will start a rage through immigrants and nonimmigrants, for most of the people in Austin actually care about others.
I am opposed of it. I don't see why we need to enforce these laws and bills when the immigrants aren't even harming us... but when they do, it's not everyone. Most of them come here because they want a better life.
