In the article Learning on the Job, Maddie Meyer is pursuing to becoming a professional sports photographer. For her to achieve that she has to do all these internships. to this date shes had four internships, including the one the picture shows on this article. A photo industry exposure has allowed her to get on the job skill to learn. Maddie Meyer states that she likes these interactions with taking photos like what she did with this boxing picture. Meyer works with Getty's Al Bello and Elsa Garrison that mentors her, she stated that they are " amazing mentors " . She started to explain how "incredibly insightful to compare how they approach events and what each of them come away with after a game." Meyers first time she was very pressured to shoot a large image and at a high quality level. Most of the times shes only asked for that when shes given an assignment to cover sports such as boxing, tennis, hockey etc. which is out of her comfort zone because she hadn't photographed before. Shes equipped with three Nikon D3's and lesnses from 14mm to 400mm. Her photos she takes claimed to pick up on a players body language to show emotion and illustrate the joy or frustration from the athletes.

San Diego Landscapes

Looking at all the locations in san diego such as La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, Sunset Cliffs, Downtown's Skyline, Balboa Coronado, Mission, Del Mar, IB, Torrey pines etc has many beautiful locations to look at the night sky, morning rise, and even just the skyline lights from downtown. One picture that really caught my attention was the Del Mar photo because of the Ferris Wheel's colors that appear in the photo, with the reflection of the water on the bottom. A cool picture i like as well is the photo of the sun in La Jolla where it perfectly lines up with the poles of the boardwalk. Its interesting how it made its way to the middle and captured the shot of the sunset with these waves flowing by.Downtown SD Skyline is one of my favorite places because ive been here and had a photoshoot with my car and some friends cars. when i was there it wasnt at night although the clouds did make the photo look even better with the blue sky and sun shining on my car when i had the photoshoot. There are many places ive heard of but never noticed how much of a nice view it can have. living in San Diego is very peaceful and beautiful because of view we have and nightlife we can have in downtown sandiego.

Written Assignment: "Teacher Inspiration"

In the past 12 years of school, i would say my best and favorite teacher would be Karen Saiki. I say this because shes taught her 12th grade class how to many things after high school. Mrs. Saiki knows a lot about college and about the process to get there. If we have questions, she has answers. This taught me what to expect after high school and how to get through college. We wrote up personal statements, learned more about our futures to what college to go to or maybe to serve for our country. Other than just after school, we were learning how to get a job, make a resume, and even a make a cover letter. at first i didn't know what a cover letter was but its an important letter to get us an interview. Usually English would be my poor class and often times i would do bad and ive failed the class back in middle school, but when high school came i began to do better and this year i finally earned an A in the class. this class also includes reading articles and annotating, writing and preparation for the EPT. this class seems like a preparation class for real life after high school
