1. What is a Phobia? A phobia is an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something. (Definition from Google)


2. 5 Phobias:
Verminophobia- Fear of Germs
Scolionophobia- Fear of School
Bacteriophobia- Fear of Bacteria
Phobophobia- Fear of Phobias
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliopphobia- Fear of Long Words

3. Brainstorm
For my Phobia photo, I want to do something that will be simple. I don't want the photo to be really hard to take. I want a person to be representing the person that is afraid of whatever I'm doing.
I want the format of the picture to be horizontal and the subject placement to be off to the edge. I want the person to be reacting to the phobia. The background will have to be solid in order to get the topic across. The point of view will be what others see when people are scared of things. The lighting will have to be a little dark, but not too dark. The clothing will sort of be solid, as if the person was stuck somewhere (jail?) and couldn't escape. The subject will be scared, since the topic is Phobia.

I would like my cousin to model in these photos. I am going to shoot Phalacrophobia which is the fear of becoming bald. How I will demonstrate this is I will have my cousin sitting on the floor either on her knees or criss-cross. She will be holding her hair in her hands with a worried/scared face. I am planning to shoot this at my house with a solid background such as a wall. Or, I will have her hold a brush that has a lot of hair on it and she will look scared.

I will also photograph Phengophobia, which is the fear of daylight or sunshine. Again, my cousin will be modeling this. I am planning on having her laying in the grass (during the day) and the sun will be in her face and she will be shielding her eyes and her face will have a frown. I want her hair to be kind of messy and her face to be really pale. Or, I will have her look out of the blinds during the day.

Lastly, I am going to shoot Somniphobia which means fear of sleep. For this photo, I want my cousin to be laying in a bed her eyes are wide open with bags under her eyes. She will have a blanket covering up all of her body except for her eyes. I am going to see if she can make her eyes red to add more effect to the photo. 

 D. Phalacrophobia- The main subject will be in focus. Probably rule of thirds.
Phengophobia- I have to make sure that the lighting is really good in this photo.
Somniphobia- I have to make sure that the makeup in this photo looks very realistic.

Academic Shoot Photos (Post Shoot Reflection)

Rule of Lines. This is rule of lines because the lines from the ceiling lead to the lines on the top shelf and the lines on the windows. The subject in the photo is the lines that lead to the lines in the windows. The subject is very clear. Rule of Balance. This is rule balance because the shape that her arm makes while she is writing is a triangle and in the back the paper, her folder, and her phone all make a rectangle. The main subject is the shape her arm makes. The subject is very clear. Rule of Thirds. This is rule of thirds because the direct subject is not in the middle of the photo, she is off to the side. The main subject is the girl on the left side of the photo. The subject is very clear. Rule of Simplicity. This is rule of simplicity because the main focus or subject is simple, it's the person holding the pencil. The subject is ver clear. Rule of Framing. This is rule of framing because the lines from the window build a line around the boy who is in ...

American Soldier

A. What is the most powerful image from the pictures printed in the Denver Post over the three weeks they published images from the year of coverage? Why? I think the most powerful image was the picture on 22A because it is a picture of Ian Fisher sitting all alone looking down thinking about how this is going to be the rest of his life. The picture is just really moving because the way I interpret it sends me a strong message. B. How do the images work together to tell a story? These images work together to tell a story by showing Ian's journey form where he first began to where he finished his army journey. It has showed how much he matured over his time that he has served our country. C. How do the captions enhance the photographs? The captions enhance the photographs by adding more detail and sending more of a message than the actual story itself can tell. D. Summarize the story of Ian Fisher, based just on the captions. Ian Fisher is beginning to start his career...

School Uniforms, Assignment 1

School Uniforms For this topic I could possibly interview a member of the board who decided to enforce the uniforms, I could interview the principal that works at the school where the uniforms are being enforced, and I could interview a staff member/ high ranked teachers that works at the school where the uniforms are being put into place. Sources: Board Member School Principal Highly Ranked Teachers Some questions I could ask include: 1. Will jackets be allowed? 2. How do dress codes target certain people? 3. Are there any exceptions for people who don't have to school uniform rule? 4. How many warning will be given if not dressed appropriately until a penalty? 5. Will there ever be any days where students can dress freely? 6. How will the students be able to express themselves? 7. How will you deal with students who don't obey the school uniform policy? 8. What are some advantages of the new uniform policy? 9. What are some disadvantages of the new uniform p...
