Warm Up

1. What emotions did you feel as you worked your way through these images?
As I got further into the collection of photos, I was more and more sad. It was heartbreaking to see it happen all the way through. I couldn't even recognize her towards the end.

2. The photographer said this: "These photographs do not define us, but they are us." What do you think about this comment now that you have looked at the photos?
I think what it means is that she had cancer, and he had a wife who had cancer, those shouldn't be their titles. They shouldn't be known as "the women with cancer" or "the man whose wife has cancer".

3. Do you think you could shoot photos like this if you were in this situation?
I think I would be able to, but it would be hard to have to not only live it, but re-live it when you're editing and posting the photos. And I would like to spend as much time as I had left with them instead of taking pictures.

4. If you could write Angelo a letter, what would you say to him?

 I would tell hime that I really like his pictures, I'm sorry for his loss, and also that I'm sorry he and his wife were defined by their situation. That shouldn't happen.

Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not? No, it is not acceptable period to change a person's body to make it look "perfect". It's unethical because people should be comfortable enough in their own skin so that they don't want to have their body altered. It also sends the wrong message to people, making them think they need to look like that

Personal Essays

1. One idea the article gave me that I can use to decide on a topic is to make sure I feel very strongly about the subject. It doesn't matter if it's something big or small, as long as you have very strong opinions about it. 2. An idea from the article I should keep in mind while writing the piece is to write kind of like I'm talking, loose and comfortable. Also I should make sure to include many details to ensure that the readers can relate to my story. 3. One idea that I will keep in mind is the many different types of hooks. You can hook the audience with a question, metaphor, a quote, and more.

Front Pages of the World

My favorite nespaper front page is the one for Albany, New Yorks's Times Union. This is because it has many differnt stories and there will be at least one that would appeal to someone. My favorite headline from the newspaper is "Their generous hearts helping others" because it appeals to my emotions. Especially with a baby being the picture, it makes me want to read more about what was happening in the picture. On the front page there are six different stories. After seeing all of the front pages for the various newspapers I looked at, I noticed that they all have huge text in bold letters for the headline in the top center of the page, usually paired with a large picture, to grab people's attention. Differences I saw between some of the front pages are the amount of stories and also the main stories. For example, in Austin's front page the biggest headline is about Karolyi Ranch and how many gymnasts were abused there and how it is to be investigated. Whereas in
