What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest?

What I know about photography is that it is a form of art that allows an individual to express themselves through the pictures they take. I know that you can edit photos and remove things like zits or red eyes and make the background express the object or person in the picture. How I take photos is I zoom in and make sure the picture is not blurry and then I take the shot. I always edit photos before putting them on social media sites because it makes the picture better and stand out more. I use the options on social media sites like Instagram to edit them. Some background knowledge I have in photography is last year when I had to do a stop motion project with a deck of cards and I always take the photos when i'm on vacation with my family. I like photography and find it very fun to do.

Tell me about your weekend. Share pics!

My weekend was great because I got to go on a Boy Scout camp with my friends. On Friday, I arrived at camp and partied it up on the dance floor with my friends and other boy scouts. On Saturday, I got to earn the Search and Rescue merit badge and won a 30 dollar cooler in a raffle. I was very happy when they called my name because I wanted to win a prize in the raffle. Afterwards, I ate s'mores and went to bed. On Sunday, I got back home and showered. Later, I took care of my camp gear and worked on homework. I had a very awesome weekend!

Below is a letter written to the editor who wrote the article 'Enforcement of dress code creates negative effect' that your blogged about last week. Most of you wrote on your blog that you agreed with the writer. What are your thoughts after reading the letter below and seeing a different perspective. Are they the same? Are the different? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

My thoughts about this topic hasn't changed in any way. I still think that kids should be able to choose what they wear when they go to school. After all, this is the time to express yourself  and if girls want to do it through clothes then let them! One thing you failed to mention in this letter is what the kids want. We all want to be able to make are own impact to the school but we cannot do that by being told what we can and cannot wear. Kids love to express themselves and I do agree that the office tries to do whats best for us but we make up most of the school and we decide with each other what we want to do to help the school prosper. I am doing my part by making the Spanish club and hoping that in the future this club will prosper and be able to possibly go to Spain. I respect your ideas and opinions but in the end I think the kids should choose the clothes to wear.

The best schedule for me taking computer classes because I want to be a computer programmer when I grow up. I know I must take classes like Emerging Technologies and Web Design. I will spend this class time learning about computers and have a better understanding of how to program. These classes are different from my other classes like Honors Biology and Honors ELA because in these classes I learn more about writing and life and in computer class it teaches me how to use a computer to my advantage.

The following article was in the September issue of The Tiger Print. Read the article (even if you already have) and respond to it below. What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Consider all perspectives of the article while you respond.

This article states the response of how girls feel to the dress code. The code does not want to let girls dress the way they want to dress. It wants them to wear clothes that can't express there personality and beauty. I agree that this policy has gone to far because girls sometimes spend precious time for money to buy the clothes they love to wear. With Blue Valley banning these clothes it makes the halls of these schools look pale and add no spunk to the school. If boys are distracted there grades will reflect there individual minds. Lower grades mean that there dumb or distracted but this was there choice to make. Those boys chose to look at a cute girl instead of focusing in class. It is an individuals responsibility to chose what they want to do. If they are failing, the parents should consider an all boys school. What us boys do should not reflect what girls can and cannot wear.

Tell me about your weekend! If you don't have anything fun to share, tell me about the city you live in. What do you love about Kansas City? Do you have a favorite place in the city? Favorite team? :) Favorite event? Explain.

My weekend was great because in scouting I got the great achievement of becoming a life scout. On Friday, I got to chill and just watch some nice television. On Saturday, I slept in and got to go and run some errands with my mom. We went to General Nutrition Center or GNC and I got to go to Price Chopper and grocery shop. On Sunday, I got to go to Panera and do my board of review. Afterwards, I got Life Scout! Later that day I went on a 10 to 15 mile bike ride with my mom on are new bikes. We biked all the way to the JCC from Regency by the Lake. When it was dinnertime I ate pasta and got to watch the whole royals game. I cracked up when I saw Billy Butler steal a base. The royals won and I went to bed.
