Details




The photo is a details photo. I think this photo fits with details is because of the close up on the building's details. 
Light



This photo is on lights. I think it fits the description because of how one side is getting hit with light on the building, and then the others side has shadows.
Patterns 
This photo is about patterns. I think this photo fits with the description by maximizing the repeated pattern of the building off the water. 


Angles and shapes
 This photo is about angles and shapes. I think this photo fits with the description by not having a rectangular shape, and right angels.


Surroundings
  This photo is about surroundings. I think it fits the description by standing out of it's surroundings , and being cropped.

Writing a news lead (or lede)

Father Was a Spy, Sons Conclude With Regret 

Who?

Robert and Michael Rosengerg

What?

Their parents are being put to death.

When?

Friday, June 19, 1953

Where?

 Sing Sing

Why?

 They were activist parents

How?

In the 1990s, the government released decrypted wartime Soviet cables that further implicated their father. Then their uncle, David Greenglass, who was an Army machinist at Los Alamos, N.M., where the atomic bomb was made, and was recruited by Julius Rosenberg as a spy, admitted that he fabricated the most damning testimony against their mother, but insisted that Julius was guilty of the formal charge, conspiracy to commit espionage.

Identify the lead.
They were the most famous orphans of the cold war, only 6 and 10 years old in 1953 when their parents were executed at Sing Sing for delivering atomic-bomb secrets to the Soviet Union. Then they were whisked from an unwanted limelight to urban anonymity and eventually to suburban obscurity.
Re-write the lead using your own words.
Michael and Robert Rosenberg's parents were executed at Sing Sing for delivering bomb secrets to the soviet Union in 1953. This made them the most famous orphans of the cold war.
