Sports Portfolio
1)
1a)
a) Alyssa Schukar
b) Photojournalism
c) All of the pictures taken at a distance, same lens and feel to each photo, not enough singles
d) Background in Haiti photograph and track meet picture
e) Overall, I don't love the photographer. I liked the sports photos taken, but none of them are especially creative.
2a)
a) Nick Adams
b) Story
c) Out of focus, photos don't tell anything specific, topic overdone
d) Original, fills four corners
e) I liked the photographer's photos in the alley, but I think the portfolio wasn't well thought out.
3a)
a) Sam Adams
b) Story
c) Avoid mergers, not framed well, doesn't tell stories through photos
d) Good portrait, good background
e) I like the tone of this photographer's portfolio and their execution of backgrounds.
4a)
a) Melissa Solden
b) Story
c) Unoriginal, focus of picture is blurry and not prominent, power lines in photo
d) Nice portrait, good ideas
e) I don't especially like this portfolio, because I think too many of the pictures were in black in white. Also, many of the pictures were blurry and lacked a focus.
2)
a) The judges noted that he did a good job of getting up close and almost in the shots. Also, the judges pointed out his apparent creativity and use of color.
b) I saw that the photographer was very skilled in the aspect of focus and telling a clear story through the picture. There weren't any stark weaknesses, but I feel that a few of the photos in the portfolio were repetitive.
3)
a) To determine the winner, the judges look back through at the portfolios that stood out to them in their original viewing. At the portfolio's second glance, the judges nitpick and choose two absolute standouts. The judges must then rehash their critiques and choose an overall winner.
Part Two - Individual Images
1) One photo I agree with the judges on is the first photo critique about the simple view from a car. The photo does not feature anything particular, but just a viewpoint. This lack of a story in the picture makes it an unappealing photograph.
2) One photo that I do not agree with the judges on, is the tennis picture of the player throwing her racket into the air. While I do think the picture is fine, I think that not showing the girl's face significantly reduces the emotion that could've been communicated within the picture.

Merger Photo
1) The girl overlapped with the fence, creating a distorted part of the picture.
2) I think taking the pictures on the track or near the rose bush would be a good place to take these pictures.
3) I could spell something out with words or do different poses in each photo.
4) Wearing a shirt with no letters and brightly colored so you stand out in the photo would be beneficial in taking a merger picture.

Brianna Bull has been selected as Student of the Month at Bowie High School during the month of February, for her above average grades and excellent involvement.
Brianna Bull was selected by Ms. Graf, a teacher at Bowie high school.
Junior Brianna Bull has been chosen as Student of the Month.
"We chose Brianna for her amazing grades and band involvement," assistant principal Ms. Black said.
Brianna has excelled in both band and academics.
"Her abilities are unmatched, she's without a doubt the best first chair we've had here at Bowie High School," exclaimed band director Marshall Hall.
Bill and Olivia Bull, Brianna's parents, are very proud of her achievements.
"We couldn't be more proud of our girl," stated Brianna's mom, Olivia Bull.
Brianna uses a wide range of study methods to balance her schoolwork and her social calendar.
"She always seems prepared! I don't know how she does it," says biology teacher Clare Ramos.
School remains a priority in Brianna's life, and as a National Honor Society member, motivates her to be the best student she can be, in and out of school.
"Brianna is a light on the society, always offering help and guidance to new or confused members; We couldn't do this without her or her vast skills," explains the National Honor Society head president Julie Fisher.
Brianna wants to help as many people as possible and wants to pursue a career in a any field that presents the opportunity to do so.
"I definitely see a future in medicine for Brianna. She has the charisma, will, and motivation to reach many people through being a doctor," says her brother Blake Bull.
Managing time is a crucial part of Brianna's road to success. Knowing how to balance her events has helped minimize the stress and work load she endures.
"Brianna always seems to have her ducks in a row. Any assignment I haven't started, Brianna has already finished," states fellow classmate and peer Alyssa Cross.
Listening to music and playing her instrument is a vital element in getting rid of any anxiety Brianna feels.
"I know when I hear her play that she needs time to herself, so I leave her be," claims Brianna's father, Bill Bull.
"I can't wait to see where Brianna goes," exclaims principal Aaron Robinson.
