Story with a photo - Winter Break

Winter break has finally arrived.  To celebrate the beginning of the break, my friends and I went to Fremont's Pacific Commons to watch a movie and eat lunch.  We were wishy-washy with our decision: to either eat at Blaze Pizza or to eat at The Habit.  After much consideration, we decided to eat at Blaze Pizza.  Here, my friend Iris is gazing at the pepperoni and meatball pizza with heart eyes.  She was excited to eat the hot pizza.

MSJMCW Story

Multicultural week is a week of celebration of cultures all over the world.  Every day when lunch bell rings, students eagerly rush to the horseshoe to buy delicious foods the school clubs sell. Food ranges from cake to burgers to Chinese food, food to satisfy anyone's craving. Unlike the regular lunch time, lunch time during multicultural week is a little more than an hour longer.  Students that can't drive yet, like freshmen and sophomores, spend their time walking around the horseshoe buying food.  However, students that could drive, like some juniors and seniors, drive to restaurants to buy food.  Students are encouraged to dress up according to the color that represents the country. (Asia=red, Africa=green...etc.) At the end of the week on Friday, class time is cut down even more than usual because L2 sets up an assembly to honor all of the cultures around the world.  Streamers and balloons are placed everywhere around the gym, and students perform dances to honor the culture.  To many Mission students, multicultural week is a week to cherish because the stress level decreases due to the festive atmosphere.  Multicultural week is a week to cherish.

Shutter Speed and Everything Else

I worked with Katherine Lin.
Lens Photo Blog
1. Fast or slow - why?

This picture shows a fast shutter speed because the truck on the right is frozen in motion.  

2. One rule of composition per person

This picture uses leading lines.  The lines on the ground and the the railway all go the same direction. 

3. Element of Art - list one with an explanation

An element of art shown in this photo is lines.  You can clearly see the lines on the highway and the railings, and they all go in the same direction.

4. Principle of Design - list one with an explanation

This picture shows movement because the lines on the ground and the railings lead our eyes to the truck in distance.  Then, the green truck in the distance leads us to see the blown truck and the other blue and red truck.



The shutter speed was probably 1/500.
