Good portraits
There is a photo of a man leaning his forehead on an instrument, which looks to be a cello(?) or bass. He has his eyes closed, and his lips are still.

1. I like this photo because it involves a relationship between a person and an instrument, And I myself love music.

2. Simplicity is a composition rule evident in this photo. The background is plain white and doesn't distract from the subject .

3. This portrait was taken by taken by an unknown artist from Pinterest.

Oldest Things in the World
There is a photo of Mountains but it is taken from a low angle,  there is water at the bottom of the image.

1. I like this photo because the ocean and mountains and this photo sort of reminds me of the top of a mountain in New Mexico. I like the colors, the blue with the white.

2. A rule of photography I see in here is balance.They positioned the camera so there were mountains in the background, balancing the whole photo.

3. This photograph was taken by a photographer named Rachel Sussmen.

Eagle Flying
This is a picture of an eagle flying with his wings spread wide and  is just magical.

1. Eagles are one of my favorite animals, which is why I chose this picture. It looks completely like a boss.

2. A rule of photography here is the Rule of Thirds. The eagle is situated on the right side of the shot.

3. This photograph was taken by Gord Aker.

Spiral Staircase

This is a photo of a huge spiral staircase, which the arch is gently curving around the top of the photo.                                 I really liked this photo because the stairs in the picture are old and curving. I also like the nostalgia feeling of this picture

2. One rule of photography I see is leading lines. The lines of the stair railing lead the viewers eyes to the center of the photo. Other rules of photography here are depth and pattern. There are patterns on the wall and there is a different level of staircase in top middle and bottom of the picture.

3. Photographer Christian Richter took this photo.

Time lapse Video

The video composed of time lapse shots at Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil.
1. In the video there was a time lapse of many attractions in Rio. there was a lot of places were it was at the ocean, so there were some cool shots of waves and water.

2. The photographer was Kate May and as been a regular photographer for a long time and was inspired to do a time lapse by a video from Tom Lowe. 

3. Panasonic saw May's Iceland video and wanted her to do a time-lapse fore them. She chose to go to Rio.

4. I learned that some cool things take time to make, and that you have to be patient and not get stressed by everything even though you may want it now.

I had trouble posting the pictures, sorry.

Welcome Back

Welcome Back

I like this picture cause it is very real and something shocking that I've never seen it before.

I thought it was funny they way of how the kids are just acting professional to this kid throwing up.

I like this picture because this was one of the main jokes of the winter Olympics of how they messed this up. 

Best song of 2014

Every Breaking Wave by U2

I choose this song because I literally don't know any of the artists who had something released this year except for U2. Also this is part of a FREE album for iTunes and I think its worth listening too and they have there own style and tone then most bands today. I choose this specific song because it is one of the most inspirational of the album and shows a lot of U2 personal touch.

Best Movie of 2014

I am personally disappointed with the entrainment business last year because every movie last year were so SOOO unoriginal or were just bad, and I would rather see a bad movie than one that is unoriginal. I came down to four and suggest everyone to them. Fury, Boyhood, Grand Budapest Hotel, and Interstellar. Now I can't really choose what is the best because i don't know what you mean by the best. Fury is action packed and has likely characters and easy plot and is creative. Boyhood is very revolutionary to film and is very deep and shows the little rememberable things of life and growing up not just as kids but also as parents. Grand Budapest Hotel is directed by one of my favorite director Wes anderson and is comedic and has great performances by Ralph Finnes,Bill Murry and more. It also does have that nice looking simple stage like look. And the last and if i had to choose the best is Interstellar. I thought it was written brilliantly and the movie did what it wanted without knowing that people will judge it. it had great performances and look incredible. 

Most important News story

I don't really look at the news or inform myself but the one thing that everybody was talking about was the sanctions of Ukraine by Russia.Thats all I herd about I saw it in restaurants I saw on my computer I even saw it on daily show with Jon Stewart and Colbert Report. So I think if it is everywhere and is a very big deal for the euraisan countries than it must be a big deal.

Person of the Year

Vladimir Putin. I thin if you hear his name internationally than he's kinda of a big deal. He basically is like pervious leaders of Russia Stalin and Lenin but he still manages to be friends with other countries. He accoplimesd a lot of things this year some are bad but also some are good for his people.
