Scariest sound ever

The scariest sounds to me are the theme music to insidious, Freddy kruger, and my mom screaming my first middle and last name.

Great black and white photos part 3

Gary Winogrand


I saw Tommy pull the gun out and aimed it at the photographer. I hear everybody shouting and screaming and hollering. I can smell the the cooking coming from Joe's shop on 54th street. I put my hand on the gun to stop Tommy from pointing the gun on the poor man i can fell the coldness of gun on its barrel. I can taste the air dryer then on a warm sunny day.

I saw Hank and Hilary dancing on my wedding night, Hilary look so happy to be dancing with her husband acting like she hasn't seen him in decades. I hear the roar of the music, people's laughter from having a good time. I smell the food that the catering service brought. I can feel what Hilary is feeling because I'm dancing with my newly wedded wife.

I was driving behind uncle Frank and aunt May when i saw a spider monkey jump up from the back seat onto the top of the seat. I hear the cars honking on a early morning in the morning in Brooklyn. I feel very strange because my aunt and uncle have a spider monkey as a pet. I smell all the exaust pipes coming from all the cars in front of us and from behind us. 





I would like to create something that really sticks outs, something that attracts the human eye and take pictures that really interest people. I would like to take pictures like Robert Capa, and Jerry Uelsmann.

Yahoo wildlife photography

I think the best photos were the black and white photos of the african animals because the photography was outstanding and the black and white photos just captured the moment.

Mural preview


  1. The theme i would use is the senior class of 2014. The subjects i would use are the students and there final months here at Akins.
  2. Students would care because its our last time here so lets take pictures to capture the memories, and this would make lower classmen want to make it better then ours.
  3. The advantages for using a camera phone is easier then caring a big camera and its real easy to use. The disadvantages are you can't get everything you want from a normal camera on the phone and the lenses aren't as strong as a nikon. 
  4. The advantages using a SLR camera are you get better pictures and you catch the moment way better then a phone. The disadvantages are worrying about to much light and to dark of places.
  5. I think we should use both because some pictures might be better then the other.

Africa power point

This photo is one of my favorites because the animal is just looking at the world upon them. The photo element is rule of thirds the animal is the center part of the picture.

I liked this photo because the cheetah is in the tree and it could possibly be looking for its prey. The photo element is balanced with the cheetah.

I liked this photo because the lion looks like its stalking its prey and thats what the king of the jungle does. The photo element is balanced because the frame is balanced with the lion.


  1. Nick uses a Pentax 6711 with 2 fixed lenses 
  2. To record a last testament to the wild animals and places before they are destroyed by the hands of man.
  3. His hope is to capture as much photos of african animals and wild life before "Man" destroys it.
  4. "The photos are my elegy to these beautiful creatures, to this wrenchingly beautiful world that is steadily, tragically vanishing before our eyes." 

Academic photo shoot preview

This photo is the best action or emotion because its a group of students circled around a flag pole maybe for 9/11.
This photo has the best story because i think its two students on their last day of school with there favorite teacher.


This photo has fills the frame with most interesting because the two students are welding something in shop.

Fire quick write

The picture to me looks like it would be out of the movie "This Is the End" like of a guy who leaping over a pit of fire to escape from being killed. The movie is based on the starting of an apocalypse  with real movie stars in a worlds ending comedy and this guy could be jumping over the pit to get to James Franco's house.

I think the photo is very unique because usually every one prays during Mecca and this little girls pulls out her phone and what it looks to be like taking pictures or maybe video taping their pray.

Avoiding merging

The merging is the ruble from the towers to the workers.

Photo manipulation

Adnan Hajj manipulated photos during the Lebanon War and was fired from his job and erased all 920 of his photos. His manipulations were in between because all he did was add little details he didn't change the picture.

Issam Kobeisi took a photo of a women kneeling in front of a bombed house and used the same women  in 3 different photos on 3 different locations and on 3 separate dates. Its unacceptable because he repeated the same person on different occasions and didn't use the woman's name.

In july of 2008 Iran's Revolutionary Guards released an image of Iranian missile launch and it was manipulated because one missile failed, the non firing missile was removed, one of three missiles was duplicated to make it look like a complete launch. The person used false pictures to make the launch look like a success.

These photos are unethical because all 3 pictures were composited into one photo.
This National Geographic cover the pyramids were moved closer and i think its least unethical because it makes the cover better and makes it more pop out all they did was just move them closer they didn't lie or put things from other photos onto the cover.
