Photography Tips from Robert Capulto

For my article today I read tips about how to take good photographs by a National Geographic photographer. Being a picture-taker for a magazine extremely well known for its amazing photography, Capulto is probably someone who gives very good advice. This article in particular is about how to get good pictures while traveling. One tip that he gives is to be spontaneous. He says that having your camera with you everywhere you go while on vacation is something you should definitely do, because you never know when there is going to be something photo-worthy. I think this is a very good tip because some of my favorite pictures i took on vacaions are of little kids in the marketplace in Gutemala, or this little boy in a grocery store in Swaziland.
Another tip that this article gave is, when taking photos of people you are with, always make sure to give some context to the pic. Don't just take a close-up on their face because it shows nothing of where you are, it could be in your house.
My Grampa would always take pictures in places of the place and then a little tiny picture of my Gramma's head in the corner. The pictures look so funny they are great. =)

Short story outside reading number 3 =)

So I spent about an hour and a half yesterday reading Dr. Suess. I think this was the first time I have actually paid attention to the morals of the stories. I read "And to Think That I Saw It on Mullberry Street", "The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins", "Horton Hatches The Egg", "Yertle The Turtle", "The Lorax", and "Gertrude Mcfuzz". Gosh I absolutely love Dr. Suess. I'm actually quite jealous of him. He can make extremely fun stories that also mean something. My favorite is probably "Yertle the Turtle". The moral of "Yertle The Turtle" is that everybody can make a difference in the world, even someone as insignificant as the little turtle Mack at the bottom of the pile of turtles. I also really really like "And To Think That I saw It On Mulberry Street". It shows that with imagination something even as simple as a horse and carriage can be turned into something amazing. 

Dr. Suess is really easy to read and it is a ton of fun, even though I am fifteen years old. Reading Dr. Suess always calms me down, especially yesterday. I was stressed about a test and reading Dr Suess helped a ton. I really think that even though children's books and stories are simple to read, that everyone, even adults should still read them. They are just a nice refresher that everyone still has some child in them.

Mr Sticky- Blog post outside reading #2

So today i decided to read a fun cute story about a snail named Mr. Sticky, I was kind of in the mood for something happy. To read..... CLickerooni Mr Sticky was a tiny tiny tiny snail that Abby had as a pet. Abby kept saying how Mr. Sticky was so cute because he was so small. Abby's mom told Abby that things can be cute even if they're big, but Abby thinks they are only cute when they are small.

This is a little children's story about growing up and how it's okay to get older and bigger, and you can still be the same person. I didn't really like it that much, I actually thought it was pretty stupid, but I really just needed to read something like this today.
