Learning Adventure Topic

The task for my learning challenge is research about a famous photographer and take their experience and measures into my own photos.
Technique: I plan to achieve my goal by having research done and also to see how my photos have been bettered from getting the research.
Time it would be over the two weeks, and I would probably spend about 4 hours each week? Not sure?
No team just me! There may be people in my photos though.

Photography Is something that I am very fascinated with and It intrigues me I love seeing how a picture can turn out, then when you mix editing its that much cooler! There Is a huge purpose for why am I chose to do this, I would love to be a master at this someday, so I could take family Pictures, Wedding pictures, senior etc...

The purpose for this project I chose to focus on Is because I am very passionate about photogrpahy. This would definitely help me learn more techniques and It would help my skills.

My Flow Test Results!

The feelings I had when I was In "flow", I was either doing homework or with friends this makes sense because that's mostly what I usually do. I marked down that I felt either stressed out, exhausted, or just good. I was more "flow friendly" during the afternoon or evenings,I am never In a good mood In the morning. I could increase the amount of optimistic challenges by not procrastinating this would make me less stressed out and more happy all the time. That is also how I can reduce the distracted feelings I get from all the stressful homework and projects. This taught me that i should be more willing to open my horizon and not be so down, procrastination does not help me to feel good!

Can you feel Beauty?

Can everything in some way be beautiful? Does it effect how we treat things depending on weather they are beautiful or not? How do you feel beauty?

Richard Seymour's talk is about beauty, what beauty is, how you can see and feel it and what makes beauty. I learned that something may not be beautiful on the outside but when you get to know the story about it, it can completely change your opinion. For example Richard shows a drawing, you can see that it is very blank. Black and white, kind of scribbled. But when he tells you that the drawing was the last thing a 5 year old girl did before she died from cancer it simply becomes more beautiful due to the background. Everything can be beautiful in its own way depending on the way you view it. I feel that people respect objects more and treasure them more often if they have some sort of beauty in them, such as color, abstract,shape etc.. To wrap up the discussion a question i would have for the reader would be do you believe that people treat items based on how they look? Does it matter if something has color or texture weather its big or small? Or is everything treated the same?

Are school budgets breaking US schools?

Bill Gates states his opinion on how states in the U.S are causing to break school budgets. He mostly focuses on California State because that's where he is located.

He says that California does many things to prove that they have gone out of control with their spending money such as borrowing money, withholding money, sell of residence of tobacco, and defer payments. He says its verse the old and the young the older people who pay taxes are being forced to support the younger students but since the education cost has raised they do not agree to pay it.the elderly also has to pay in health care obligations. When you have growth in the population and technology this makes everything more expensive for education. Do you agree or disagree that costs are getting higher due to the population growth?
