 i really liked it it had a lot of options to design and color though the color blending didn't work so i only could work with the standard colors.
  
it was cool to look at but hard to get the image i wanted and having to screen shot it cause me to guess on what my picture would come out as. 
there where many colors you had to have a plan on what you were going to make and couldn't figure it out as i went on there was many color options and a simple concept that gave u free range.

Question: How do you feel the popularity of cell phones embedded with high-quality cameras has changed the nature of photography?  

the availability of cameras has widen the field of how we know photography taking pictures have became easier and easier the more and more people are viewing photograph as a lesser job a not a real job job.  With the fact pictures are easier to take lessens the value of good photo art people will not have to have to go through the struggle of trying to get a correct shudder speed.The easier photography becomes the less we will value it in a professional sense.

"Tax dollars should not be wasted on art, music or theater classes in high school. Public high schools should be about training young people to enter the workforce. Period." this couldn't any more wrong, people need the arts to grow and thrive. the arts develop a child's creativity.  a person can make incredible inventions with there creativity and could possibly change the world with there creativity.  Also the arts can be a great outlet for a persons emotions.  when a person can't let out their emotions in some way or another their emotions will be let out in a possibly negative way.  the arts are an important thing in  persons life take it away and prepare for a disaster to happen.

reflection

my first semester I tried to focus on doing all my work but I always forgot to either bring my camera or just completely forgot I had to do it.  I spent quite a bit of time planning cause I wanted it to look good but the pictures never got to how I wanted them to look. I never could find the right area to shot the photos to get them to how I wanted and I didn't know how to use the camera very well.  I focused on cheer mainly and didn't have much time for taking pictures.  I always wanted to take risks with my pictures but I worry if people will not understand and just grade me badly I try not to give up hard shots but I get frustrated and strapped for time and just try to make it in time. I know I could try harder but my mind is always somewhere else.  during class I thinking about college psychology or cheer and don't spend my time wisely but when I work I work for the whole class and am the last to leave the class, its not that I'm a bad student its just so much things go through my head all at once and its hard to deal with. I over estimate how much I can do and end pup having to restart about ever time I try. I don't really follow all the instructions and do things my own way.
