Sensory Overload
"I believe that more and more, we are defining our environments not as the spaces themselves, in terms of the buildings or architecture, but rather by the objects and devices that we buy and surround ourselves with. ... I would like that message to carry through universally," Seymour said.
1) When I read this quote I do think it is right, because nowadays the thing is all about our phones and if we have the latest and greatest. I agree with this because the social media world is huge and huge in todays world. Even though I don't feel like I am a huge photographer, I do think it would be important for when I am taking pictures to put in the aspect that it would be good to take pictures to really show people the beauty beyond our phones.
2) When I was looking at the website, I did feel the desire to go and visit. My first thought wouldn't be like "oh, I want to go take pictures!!" It would be more of that I want to go there and see what this place is about, and then I would be like, "oh, I should take pictures on my phone."
3) I think if my parent worked at that place, I might be a little embarrassed just because it is pretty unique and some people might judge me for my parent working there. But then again, I wouldn't be that embarrassed because my parents would still be making the same money and paying bills from money they earned so thats how I would express my feelings towards if my parents worked there.
4) I think my favorite photo would be the first one. The one when you first get on the website you can see what looks like to be the whole store seems to look like. Also, I like this picture because there are lots of bright colors in it. Lots of blues, reds, yellows, and other fun/pretty colors that attracts the eye.

Architecture Preview #1
Kunsthaus Graz, Austria
1. Peter Cook2. 20033. It is located in Graz, Austria4. You can visit it5. It cost $50 million to build6. It was built as part of Capital of Culture celebrations in 20037. When I saw the photo for this building,m it really captured my eye because it just looked like an organelle or a blob made of jello or something. The fact that this was made as an actual place is really interesting.
2. 19573. Brussels4. Public.5. A triangular piece about 2 meters (7 ft) long sold for €1,000.6. It was built for Expo 58.7. I chose this building because I don't know much about Belgium. This turned out to be different than I thought- I imagined a building, but this turned out to be a giant crystal structure shaped architecture. I chose this picture because the rest seemed to boring and this one made the structure pop out.
La Pedrera, Spain1. Antoni Gaudi 2. 19063. Barcelona4. Public5. no6. it was made s a house7. I chose this building because it was the first one on the list. I tend to pick that one because it is usually the best one since it is listed first. It also looked really cool on Eugene's computer when he was doing this.
Turning Torso, Sweden1. Santiago Calatrava2. Construction began February 14th 20013. Located in Malmo, Sweden4. you can visit5. no info on cost6. To resemble a human spine twisting

Atomium, Belgium

7. When I saw that this building was supposed to resemble a humans 'turning torso', I had to learn more. It is really cool to see how actual humans and things inspire people to such things on a larger scale.
Krzywy Domek (The Crooked House), Poland
1. Szotyńscy & Zaleski2. 20043. Located in Sopot, Poland4. You can visit it5. No info on cost6. It was built in inspiration of Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg fairytale drawings7. I picked this place because when I looked at the picture, it looked very twisted and illusion like. Then I started to think "how did they make everything on the inside right side up, but the whole exterior crooked?" I got really interested in how it was built so I chose it.Wednesday, March 22, 2017

Bowie's varsity cheerleaders attended their national competition on February 10th in Orlando, Florida.

The important thing that the cheerleaders take with them is that competitions aren't all about winning, it's about the bonding experience.

Science fair rules on campus
The Bowie High School science fair took place on January 12th. Many students completed a science project, but not all entered into the science fair, although quite a few did enter. The projects are then presented to judges. The students who received a fair judgment from the judgment then moved on to regionals.
Who?- Science fair participants

Why ?- To show off students hard work
How?- Students had to create a project and present it
Who was quoted in this story?- Alex Paulson
What quote was the strongest?- "I've worked hard on this project......" Appears to be at the end of this article
Did the lead sentence make me want to read more?- The lead sentence didn't make we want to read the article so much.
Varsity cheer photo
The photo was taken on a very good scale. The photo has good lighting and the cheerleaders pop out. The main subject is the cheerleaders. The photo IS exposed properly. The photo has a medium depth of field because the football players are visible in the background.
Science fair photo number two
The picture is good because it reveals the full project board, the student and the judge. The lighting in this photo is good. The composition rule of this photo is the rule thirds. The main subject is the science project. The photo is exposed properly and has a depth of field.
Peaceful Protesters
I like this photo because it has a really appealing tone to it. The lighting is spot on. The composition rule is the rule of thirds and leading lined. The main subject in this photo is the man in the mask. The photo IS very well properly exposed. No evidence of depth of field because the phone doesn't go back very far.
Student gymnast photo number one
Photo has a lot of fun action going on. Good lighting but it could be a little darker. The composition rule is leading lines. The girl on the balance beam is the main subject. The photo would be better if it was exposed a little more. The depth of field shows as being deep.
Principal search
Good photo. it contains quite a few details. Tremendous lighting and everything in the picture stands out. The composition rule of this photo is the rule of balance. The interim principal is the main subject. Good exposure in this photo and the depth of field is deep.
Thoughts on the entire paper
My favorite photo was the gymnastics photo. The picture is my favorite because I think a back-hand spring on the beam is such a cool trick. The photo contains leading lines and depth of field.
My least favorite picture is the picture of the students in the Bulldog Speak Out and the very first science fair photo. They don't have very much "pop" to them and not very interesting.
I personally would like to do/ shoot gymnastics because there is constant motion and it is a very interesting sport. Gymnastics was the most interesting topic in this newspaper.
I would rate this issue of The Lone Star Dispatch is a 5 out of 5 stars. I would rate the newspaper 5 stars because the photos are great and the text has good details. Some things that could be improved in this newspaper are the work on the photos and other minor things.

Intro to Newspaper Design
1. The Press-Sun Bulletin was my favorite one.
2. The headlines weren't great, but one of the stories had a cool magazine feel to it and it was about police chases.
3. The favorite story was the one about police chases.
4. Most of the front pages had a main photo and the beginning of the story on the front page and had a dominate photo to go with it.
5. Most of the papers also had different layouts for their front pages. Some had their main story dominating the entire page while others had many different photos to spice things up.
The Lone Star dispatch looks like a legitimate newspaper. It follows the rules of newspaper design. It has simple and easy to read text. The photos mostly pair up nicely with the stories and captions and is overall a good paper.
