KONY 2012
1. KONY 2012 is about stopping Joseph Kony who is a very bad man. Joseph Kony is number one on the worlds worst criminals list. The whole reason for this video is to bring attention to him and inform the world of his wrong-doings. What he has done is force children to join his army and kill their own family's.
2. His goal is on April 20 lots of people are going to post fliers of him all over the world to get the US government to stop him. He mainly just wants to stop the inhumanity that is happening in Uganda. The main reason for this video is to inform people about Joseph Kony.
3. I think it is a good idea to bring awareness to him. The video looked good and had a good purpose. I personally think that there is more going on then we are led to believe. It could also cause more trouble if the government just blows off this issue and all the posters put up would have to be taken down by some volunteers or if the government uses taxpayer money to pay people to take down the posters.
4. Its a interesting thing because it would encourage the people to force the government to do something about it. But the cons are that things may not be what we are led to believe and then we could attack and end up hurting ourselves instead.
5. Raising awareness is just making a documentary to inform people about something. A call to action is telling or encouraging people to do something.
6.What is the issue?- I was thinking about bad diet habits that people have.
Where is it?- It is mostly just America.
Who are the people affected?- The American people are greatly affected by this issue.
Why should people care about this issue?- Because if we don't stop then we will just get unhealthier and unhealthier, and if we can cure this issue then it would solve so many diseases that we have recently acquired.
What can people like you do to solve the problem; to help? What specifically can people do?- What I can do is inform people about this issue and the benefits of a healthy diet. What people can do is realize what they're putting into their body's.
How could you use the media to call attention to the issue? How can you get people's attention?- To show where our society is headed would be attention grabbing.
What is your specific proposal; your call to action? What do you want people to actually do?- I want people to stop eating so unhealthily.
What is your proposed timeline?- I don't know when this will happen but i hope soon.
7. I would shoot pictures of our society today and show that lots of America is gaining unhealthy diets and if we just go back to natural foods and not "fast food" type foods than many of the diseases of today could just disappear.

Portrait Photographers.
Steve Mccurry is a photographer that likes to shoot pictures of people more than other things of what I'v seen. Mostly they're kinda depressing and of Pakistanis. All of his pictures have some brown in it, but other than that, he highlights either blue or red, but never in the same picture. Lots of his pictures also have water in them. I also think that each of his pictures tell a story. In almost all of his pictures there is a exotic looking building.
Here are some of my favorite pictures that I found:
This one I think has a really nice background and foreground.
I like how this one is composed and the nice colors.
I really like the colors in this one, and the composition is really good, the background is kind of a warmer feeling and the foreground has a cool feel to it.
I like all the colors of the flowers and and the water, and I like how you can see the movement in the water.
Here are some of my favorite pictures that I found:
I like this one because she doesn't looks like she's posing, she looks genuine. Also I like the depth of field.

Intro to Light
In class today I learned about backlight and how it affects the subject. Backlight can reduce contrast between the subject and the background to make it softer. I also learned about fill light which is light used to fill shadows to make the light a little more even. Something else I learned in class is that the closer your subject is to the wall or background, the more the shadow shows up, and the farther the subject is from the background the less shadow there is. Another thing that I learned is feathering the light which is barely putting the light on the side. I also learned that you dont want the subject to be square on to the camera.

Photography Terms
1. I like to photograph lots of different things, but I think that I really enjoy shooting some odd looking things that don't look completely real, I don't like it to look really fake or really photoshoped but I do like the more abstract things. I also like to shoot some really vibrant colors and I also like to get pictures of animals.
2. Aperture is the opening in the lens of the camera, kind of like the pupil of the eye. It effects light and depth of field. It is also one of the elements of the exposure triad.
3. ISO is the cameras sensitivity to light, but it also makes the camera's picture blurry if the ISO is to high. It is another of the elements of the exposure triad.
4.Shutter speed is the rate at which the shutter in front of the lens opens and closes. It affects light and motion. Also it is one of the elements of the exposure triad.
5. The exposure triad is basically Aperture, ISO, and Shutter speed. They all affect the camera's sensitivity to light, along with some other things. You could turn down the ISO and make the shutter speed longer, or make the aperture smaller and make the ISO bigger, and there are many different things you could do to have them work together.
6. By adjusting the aperture and changing the focus you could change the depth of field or DOP for short.
7. In all the modes you can adjust the ISO but in Shutter-priority mode you adjust the shutter speed and the camera automatically adjusts the aperture, in Aperture-priority mode you adjust the aperture and the camera automatically adjusts the shutter speed, in Manual exposure you adjust all the settings (meaning shutter speed and aperture) by yourself.
8. Tonal values is the lightness, the light or dark of a color independent of its chromaticity. You can adjust them in photoshop using levels or curves.
9.A histogram is a graph using rectangles that shows how many of one thing there is.
10. Diffused light is pretty much light that bounces off of the walls and floor and roof, or any surface for that matter.Light that impacts a surface at ninety degrees. Existing light is light that is already there. Artificial light is light thats made. Natural light is like light from the sun or moon. Fill light lets you reduce the contrast of a picture and provid some light to shadowy areas. Key light is used to highlight dimesion and form of a picture, it can also cause a silhoutte effect. Flash light is a device to provid artificial light to a picture.
11. Basic image correction in photoshop is to save the picture as a psd, then crop if needed, then adjust the tonal values using levels or curves, then resave as a jpg.
12. To make a selection in photoshop you could use the quick selection tool, the magic wand, or the marquee tools.
13. Because if you make a destructive mistake on the adjustmint layer you can just delete that layer and make a new one, where as if you make a destructive mistake on the photo itself, its perminant.
14. If you take a picture of a person without their permission. One example of this happening is when the vampire weekend band put a picture of a girl without her permission. My own opinion is that if your going to shoot a picture of a person and they are the or one of the main focuses then you should get their permission.
15. I think photography is important because it can take a picture of something and then we will always be able to look back on that even if the object in that picture get destroyed, but its also important in showing a persons point of veiw and creativity.
