Who?
Robert and Michael Rosengerg
What?
Their parents are being put to death.
When?
Friday, June 19, 1953Where?
Sing Sing
Why?

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.

Africa

2. What was your favorite photo? Describe it and tell me why its your favorite
The photo with the egg in it.
3. Look up the photographer –
a. What kind of camera did he use?
He shoots with a film camera
b. What is his reason for taking the photos?
He treats the photography of the wild animals of Africa as a fine art form.
c. What is his hope by taking these types of photos?
capture the beauty of these animals.
d. Find something he has to say about Africa and post the quote on your blog “African wildlife has never looked so regal and mysterious as in Brandt’s grave photographs. His elephants appear as weighty as the pyramids. His rhinos look more ancient than carbon. His apes know something we don’t. Given the multitude of human disasters in Africa, is it an indulgence to lose yourself in pictures that carry no hint of the wars and famines outside the frame? Not when the pictures are such powerful reminders that Africa is also a magnificent—and endangered—treasure house of animal life.”

Touching people.
1. I think this project and photo is very interesting. It really shows how we can be close to even strangers.
2. If somebody asked me to do this I would probably be a little confused at first and then do it just for the new experience.
3. I think this would be fun because showing people touching their noses would bring out the humor and show to let loose.
4. All of the photographer's photos are centered. He chooses to make the backgrounds very simple which is good for portraits because it doesn't distract from the subject(s). This photographer took into consideration the rules of photography and used them well.

(April 1968)
The controversial April 1968 magazine cover depicting Muhammad Ali impaled by six arrows appeared on the heels of his refusal to be inducted into the U.S. Army because of his religious beliefs. (Ali, convicted violating the Selective Service Act, was barred from the ring and stripped of his title.) The cover, the second of three Esquire covers defending Ali, shows the boxer martyred as St. Sebastian, a patron saint of athletes and one who was shot with arrows for his steadfast religious beliefs. This was one of the covers designed by George Lois, Esquires Art Director during the 1960s.

Portrait and self-portrait tips and ideas
Get Closer
The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects. In some cases this means that the center of interest—the subject—is just a speck, too small to have any impact. Even when it is big enough to be decipherable, it usually carries little meaning. Viewers can sense when a subject is small because it was supposed to be and when it's small because the photographer was too shy to get close.
Don't be shy. If you approach people in the right way, they'll usually be happy to have their picture made. It's up to you to break the ice and get them to cooperate. Joke around with them. Tell them why you want to make the picture. Practice with people you know so that you are comfortable; people can sense when you aren't.
Environmental Portraits
Portraits are about people. Environmental portraits are about people and what they do with their lives. They are about the kind of house a person lives in and how they decorate it; about what kind of work they do and where they do it; about the surroundings they choose and the things they surround themselves with. Environmental portraits seek to convey an idea about a person by combining portraiture with a sense of place.
I like this picture because of how the color of the sky is, and how the man is surrounded by nothing but cranberries showing that, that's where he work at.
I like this picture because of how the contrast of photo is on the portrait.
The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects. In some cases this means that the center of interest—the subject—is just a speck, too small to have any impact. Even when it is big enough to be decipherable, it usually carries little meaning. Viewers can sense when a subject is small because it was supposed to be and when it's small because the photographer was too shy to get close.

Good to be back.
My third favorite photo of 2010, because while the man is falling off his horse, the crowd is either laughing or trying to take a picture of the event.
What was the best song of 2010?
Neckbrace- ratatat, I chose this because it has no words, it's the best of 2010 because while it doesn't have any words, if you just listen you can feel what they say.
What was the best movie of 2010?
Kick-Ass, I chose this movie because it has a bunch of action, and it's a really funny movie.
What was the most important news story of the year?
The Bp oil spill, I chose this because the oil can affect the environment of our fishes, and soon they will all die or suffer from the oil in the ocean.
Lady Gaga, even though i don't like her, she was very important in music and in style( not really, she sucks) \
What was the biggest sports OR entertainment, story OR person of 2010
Paul Rodriguez, He's the best skateboarder around
1. Something that I will always remember is that my mom is the best person in the world for buying something i didn't expect at all to get for Christmas, a tablet.
2. To never stop skating, and to get grade higher.
3.To have fun, and hope fully to get better in skateboarding.
