Am I Talking To Myself?

Ted Talk: How Photography Connects Us

  David Griffin talked about how these photojournalists took there pictures and the story behind them. When he is explaining the story that goes along with these pictures they have more of an impact  I guess you could say. It helps tell a story and sometimes when you look at a photo you never really know why they took it unless they explain the story, like in photojournalism.

  He did an amazing job when he told us about the pictures that he showed. He didn't just sit there and say what each photo was called and then move to the next one. He actually explained why these photos where taken, what they mean, and the story behind them. Not only was he great at explaining but he was making jokes and being funny which really made things more interesting and not boring.

  Even though he did a good job there are some things that he could have done to make it even better. He could have explained the beginning pictures a little bit more because he kinda just talked a little bit about them but I felt that there could have been more to say like what possessed them to take it, why is it so popular, just things like that. Secondly I would have liked to see the pictures a little bit longer because I like to look at them for more then a few seconds. Other then these few things he did an overall good job at his Video.

Centerville High School Prom

 Meeting at 3:45 P.M. in the afternoon, the Centerville High School Student council got down to brass tacks at long last and decided this year's Senior Prom will be Friday, May 11.

    Tickets to the event began selling like hotcakes. Students rushed to purchase tickets, florist shops were inundated with corsage orders.

    The location for the prom was not known, but the council promised to hire extra policemen to be on duty in case anyone becomes inebriated. Businessmen also were to be approached and asked to support the prom with donations. 

    Also wanted by the council was a way to utilize student input in ascertaining which school personnel would attend as chaperones. Approximately five teachers are presently needed.

    Future plans made by the council call for the prom queen to receive a bouquet of flowers exactly at the hour of midnight. 

    After a heated argument in the council meeting, members exhibited the milk of human kindness by pronouncing the dispute dead as a door nail. 

    On the level of basic fundamentals, council members set aside a large number of issues to be merged together at the next meeting. Qualified experts will be called in as consultants and past records studied carefully for the purpose of finding important essentials.
    Council members voted unanimously 14-0 to ask a Jewish rabbi to offer the invocation.

    "I'm glad this issue is settled," sighed President Sally Smith.

    "Me, too," stated the vice president, Chang Lee.

    "You can say that again," laughed a new freshman whose appellation was unknown.
