Questions:
1). Which teacher do you find has helped you the most?
My animation teacher, Mr. Nourse.
Follow up question: Why?
Because he's been my teacher for the last three years, and he's kind of motivated me to do better things than the year before.
2). Do you consider yourself a role model for other students?
Um...yes and no? It's kind of hard, because sometimes I do good things, and other times I'm just too lazy to do good things.
3). How does it feel to be Student of the Month?
Fantastic; wonderful; what an achievement.
4). What keeps you trying to be the best student you can be?
Trying not to piss off my mom, because if I end up with really bad grades, even a B, she gets really mad.
5). What is your favorite class?
Animation, because I can be really creative and not be held back by criteria.
6). Do other students compete with you for Student of the Month?
Probably--I mean, I didn't expect to get this, so i guess I pissed off other kids.
7). What class are you best at?
I guess History has always been my best subject, but I'm really liking aquatic science.
8). What are you extracurricular activities?
Um...I run a YouTube channel, and I make money off of it. I enjoy volunteering, I work, and sometimes I go to clubs.
9). How do your guardians feel about your achievements?
My mom would probably ask, "How do I become student of the year? How do I become better?"
10). How difficult was it to be chosen?
I feel like regular classes are actually pretty easy, so you don't have to put so much effort into them. That's probably what made it seem like I'm such a good student.
12). Do you believe that people should respect you?
No, because I honestly don't want people staring at me.
13). Have people congratulated you?
No, because I'm having the interview right now, and I just found out. I only told my mom, and she told me to do better.
14). How do you feel when people congratulate you?
I'd probably feel awkward, since I'm not used to praise.
15). How much homework do you have daily?
Math is a daily thing; I have homework every night. Other classes I have about every other day.
16). What do you think is your best quality in work?
Creativity?
17). What is the best part of being chosen for Student of the Month?
Um...that I'm Student of the Month?
19). Why do you think you were chosen?
I'm gonna go with: It was an error in the system, and there're probably people that are better qualified for this.
20). What is your opinion of Bowie High School?
Boy, this school is the best school in the world. I wish more people could go here.

Sports/Action Finale and Architecture Preview Assignment
Sensory Overload
1. I almost completely disagree with this statement - yes, it may be true for a lot of people (hence the almost), but it doesn't stand true in a lot of cases. People don't take beautiful pictures of iPads or stuffed animals or designer handbags while in New York; they take beautiful pictures of the buildings, of the unique architecture.
2. No, I didn't want to go to this place and take a camera with me - there's too much going in, it hurts to even think about it. I can see where some people would think of it as pretty, due to the vibrant colors and the "message it sends," but it's just...not, in my mind. It's confusing, and confusing shouldn't be a word used to describe photography.
3. It would be absolutely horrifying to be the child of the person who worked there - that first pictures occurs in my nightmares. I got this doll from my grandma when I was seven, and she looked like a Chucky wearing suspenders. Opening that gift bag was the most terrifying experience of my life.
4. I don't have a favorite, but this one is the most favorable out of all of them: A mom and a daughter sitting at a table, surrounded by pink shelves of white china plates with little flowers on them, or other designs. They're preoccupied, and the store looks cluttered by much less confusingly vibrant than the rest in Commodity City.
Action
Note: I did shoot pictures of Mikayla, but the photos Maria I took afterward turned out better. You can see her to the left of "panning," though.

Architecture Preview
FYI, I completely had a fangirl/freakout moment when I first saw this.
1. The Kansas City Public Library was designed by 360 Architects, which is an organization, not a literal number of three-hundred and sixty architects.
2. The renovated doors were opened in 2004.
3. It's located in Kansas City.
4. It's a public building, a library for everyone.
5. They needed nearly 50 million dollars for the renovation project (worth it, in my opinion).
6. The Kansas City Public library has ten locations, and this particular location didn't have any reason behind the choosing of placement and renovation.
7. I chose this because BOOKS. BOOKS, BOOKS, BOOKS. The moment I Google searched this and saw the picture that came up after, I had a big-time freak out and put it on my list of things to do before I die to go and see that library in person. It's amazing - wow.
1. Stone House in Portugal was built by an unknown architect.
2. It was built in 1974.
3. It's located in Guimaraes, Portugal.
4. It's a private building, only meant to be walked into by the owners of the building.
5. There's no information on how much it cost to make/create it.
6. It would built as a family's rural retreat back in 1974
7. I chose this building because the picture had a nice feel to it - a calming, nature-y feel. The house itself is surrounded by nothing but field, or whatever the owners want to be out there. It's not cluttered or huge and extravagant, but simple - a house made of stone.
1. The Cubic Houses were designed by Piet Blom.
2. The doors of the Cubic Houses were unveiled/opened in 1977
3. They're located in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands.
4. They're private (they're houses), but the curiosity of other people sometimes cause people to leave or reject the idea of living there (much like the Stone House).
5. I couldn't find anything on how much it cost for this project from start to finish, but I would assume it takes a lot of time, and enough money to be expensive.
6. Blom designed them on the concept of living as an urban roof.
7. If the houses weren't tilted like this, they would probably look like yellow barn houses; but just the fact that they're sitting on the tip like that makes them look very urban. They're visually appealing, which is why I chose them (and trust me, I've already gone through and rejected 2/3 of them). My first reaction was "woah!" which I knew meant I should do it.
1. The National Centre for the Performing Arts was designed by Paul Andreu.
2. It was opened in July of 2007.
3. It's located in Beijing, China.
4. It's public, but it's paid for. Anyone is allowed in as long as they're paying for it or invited.
5. The designing and building of the National Centre for the Performing Arts cost 3.2 billion yuan.
6. It was built mainly as an opera house (which - oh my gods, you'd have to be really good to perform there).
7. I'm not actually totally sure why I chose this one - basically, it's unique and pretty. The curved line down the middle separating the wall of glass/window and steel is highly appealing, and the lights of the picture alone reflected in the water makes it look beautiful.
1. The architect of the Turning Torso is Santiago Calatrava.
2. It was opened on August 27th, 2005.
3. It's located in Malmo, Sweden.
4. It's an apartment building.
5. It cost around $220 million.
6.
7. I picked it because it looks kind of terrifying to actually live in - like it's going to keep twisting and twisting until it breaks somewhere in the middle, like that bridge in the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie. Yes, I picked it because it led me to thinking of Harry Potter. This is me being honest with you - it had nothing to do with the architecture, but what I connected the design with.

Action Photography Preview Assingment
Warm Up:
1. It's not exactly a typical "sports-categorized" photo. It's not of someone kicking or throwing a ball, it's of something else--something pretty comical. The football players are dumping a bucket of water on the coach, while the coach is just standing there with his arms crossed like it's just another day discussing the weather. The frozen moment is perfect, too--the water, the players, the coach, the crowd. It's beautiful.
2. Um, the shutter speed is very high?
3. It's probably a key moment, and not planned on the photographer's side. It's a sports shoot, so the shutter speed would already be up very high. I'm pretty sure this is something football players do to their coaches are captains a lot. (I also know nothing, so I could be wrong.)
4. Knowing how to adjust the shutter speed that high and still get good qualities and lighting. The attention to background details, too--nothing in the background is distracting because either the subject is covering it, it's unobtrusive, or it's against the sky.
