When You Get Caught- Warm Up

1. Yes, I think he should get a second chance because everyone deserves one. What that photographer did was not right but it was one mistake out of the many photos he took.

2. No, I don't think his photographer should be tainted for his one mistake he made. It wouldn't be fair if he could never shoot again just because of the mistake he made.

3. News organizations should have those rules about photography because if somebody took a picture and added/deleted something from the photo, then the photo would be something totally different that what was captured. It wouldn't be right.

2. The photo used for the cover was a very creative idea along with the word font.

Peer Review


http://justicephotojournalismblog.blogspot.com/

My favorite image was Connected. You did a really good job of showing connection between the couple. The black and white looked good with the photo as well, since there weren't any distracting colors, you could just focus on the subject. I understood the subject of the photo right when I saw it. Great Job!
My least favorite photo was 8 because the figure 8 was not in focus and the writing behind the 8 made it distracting to focus on the subject.
The quality of your photos were really good. Most of all your photos were in focus and I could easily understand which photo went with each prompt. You did a good job!
A few of your photos were a little blurry and out of focus so just try to focus on the subject more without blur.
I think you did a fantastic job at portraying all of your prompts!

Welcome Back

Best Photos of 2013:

I really think this is one of the best photos because a little 5 year old boy had to battle Leukemia and he got the chance to live his dream by dressing up as batman. The people acted like it was actually Gothem City which made it eve more incredible.

I like this photo because I think this photo is phenomenal because it actually captures the storm and how the lightning hits the buildings. I think it looks beautiful.

This was my favorite photo because same-sex marriage is a civil rights issue a of the world and this photo shows many gays come together and have fun. This day was made just for them and no one can say or do anything about it.

Best Song of 2013:

Best Movie of 2013:
 

Most Important New Story of 2013:
The Cleavland Kidnappings

Most Important Person of 2013: 

Micheal Kors



 2013 was Miley Cyrus' year to show everyone who she was.  Miley is not the girl we know from Disney Channel anymore she has changed ad many people did not like it. Miley is just being herself and doesn't care what anyone thinks of her. People tried to bring her down but nobody can stop her from being herself,
