Photography Composition

http://www.thepowerhour.com/911_analysis/911_photo_gallery.htm
This photo shows simplicity by focusing in on one individual building. Nothing else is distracting the viewer from focusing on the building and the background is not noisy, so the visual focus is always on the building.

This photo shows the rule of thirds by placing the two firemen holding the injured man on the right top and bottom third of the screen. The main focus of the photo is on the men, but the viewer can also see what is going on around them,adding a whole new element to the photo.

In this photo, the lines on the building line up with the man's vertical position as he is falling. The consistent, repetitive lines draw the viewer's attention to the person.

This photo shows balance by having two men on the right closer to the camera while having several people on the left farther away from the camera. It shows asymmetrical balance.

In this photo, smoke and debris covers the whole sky above the buildings, giving the photo a sensation of being framed, which adds more depth and gives it an interesting background.

I said this photo is a merger because the main person who seems to be wearing a backpack is overlapping two other people in the photo. The tree is also lined up with a person in the photo, so the viewer can't see it well. It is hard to clarify what exactly is going on in the photo.

Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)

This photo shows symmetry because the two crashed plane windows are opposite of each other and each surrounded by nature above them and to the right. It is an unusual photo that interests viewers.

Viewpoint

This photo was taken from a far away viewpoint beneath a bridge. The photographer shows viewers what the situation looked like from outside the city and gives a new purpose to the photo.

Create Depth
http://nymag.com/news/articles/wtc/gallery/12.htm
This photo shows depth by having the shoes on the tree be the initial thing the viewer sees while still having more for the viewer to see in the background area. Behind the tree, debris lays on the ground, firefighters gather to try and help the situation, and fire/smoke can be seen in the sky. 

Cropping

In this photo, not much outside of the collapsing building is shown. The viewer's attention is focused only on the building, and there is no noise in the background to distract them.

The Dispatch Issue #5

News- The Lockdown The story is about the Akins lockdown that took place on February 22, which was the result of a former student boarding a bus heading towards the school with ammunition. Senior Bee Barto and teacher Sarah Simmons were interviewed to share theyr experiences. Sarah Simmons and Bee Barto were quoted. I thought the strongest quotes was, "But I wanted to make sure it was a drill and I did see a SWAT team in the hall. It was at that point that I knew it was not a drill." The lead sentence did make me want to keep reading because I had heard about the event and wanted to learn more. The conclusion was a quote. Commentary- Arming teachers is not the solution  The story is about Donald Trump's suggestion that teachers should be amed with guns in response to the recent shootings that have occurred. The author completely disagrees and believes it will only add to the issue by burdening teachers with too much responsibility, adding more dangerous aspe

Free Write - Embarrassment

Settled in after a long day, I finally got the chance to lay down and relax. I shut out the sound of the TV downstairs as my eyes began to slowly close, my exhaustion taking over. My mind takes me back to third grade. Mrs. Grance’s class was generally a good class, but there were definitely some bad days consisting of the kids not getting along or the teacher being way too intense for third graders to handle. In second grade, one of my closer friends was named Atticus, who now is a freshman at Bowie too. Being young, we were still very childish, so messing with each other was an every day occurrence. Sometimes we took our play a little too far, but I never minded, it was all fun and games. One day, we were completing an assignment that required teacher approval along the way, which meant that people were walking to and from their seats to our teacher a lot. For some reason, Atticus was laying down and working on the “class carpet” at the front of the room, so when I would go up to
