Photography

I have always been a creative person and I love art and I am always looking for something new and fun to do. I found photography through my dad and feel in love. I started photography only a few years ago but I have learned a lot through my dad and school. I love taking pictures of really anything. Nature really sticks out to me because no one physically made them and how things fall that’s how it rolls. People say pictures say a thousand words and they truly are. When you try to explain a place to someone you really can’t because they will imagine things their way instead of the real way

My dad has really taught me a lot. It helps that we have a darkroom in our basement, so I can really get hands on it. My dad has a photography business I help him with that, and I get even more hands on with photos. I Learn from my mistakes and just goofing around too. Photography isn't really complicated it is just hard to remember all of "rules" like aperture, speed settings, filters and things like that. Once you know what you are doing the creative juices flow without issues.

Photography isn't for everyone because it is way different form just taking a picture. Most people think, oh I take pictures so I would be great in photography, maybe you would be but just taking pictures of you and you friends isn't considered real photography, but it still is a kind of photography. All pictures are considered photography,just some more complex than others. Some people don't really understand the focus and eye you need for it, I guess I am lucky that I have that eye.

I have posted my pictures on Facebook, hung pictures up at my old school and here, and my family has also seen my work and people seem to like it. People are saying how great it is, and beautiful, I really appreciate the complements but I really don't know how to respond but thank you. I don't to be rude and say I know, or not respond. It's something I really can't explain because I do love the complements but it is just kind of awkward.

Photography is something I want to do for the rest of my life. My dream is to become a famous photographer like Ansel Adams, and for people all around the world or really any where to see and enjoy my work. I would also love to make a book with my dad with our pictures in it. I know these are BIG dreams but you never what will happen in your life. I dream big so I live life to its fullest.

Sledding!

On Wednesday I didn't have wake up for school because the previous day it was cancelled, because of 3 feet of snow. What else do you do on besides go sledding? I waited for my friend
Hannah to get to my house for 11 hours. When Hannah arrived it looked like she was ready to go to a rodeo with her cowgirl hat, equestrian boots, chaps and a mini horse from Rob and Big. Hannah wasn't Hannah that day she was Hoedown Hannah.

Our friend Batool couldn't come that day because something was "wrong" with her. She wouldn't tell us what was wrong and Hoedown Hannah and I were worried. Batool was acting strange for a little while before this. Hoedown Hannah aka H2 and I went sledding anyway.

H2 and I went down the 50 foot hill in my backyard. We were sledding for hours and hours! We felt like someone or something was watching us. We would look around but we didn't see any one. We would see like critters run around but nothing unusual. H2 went down the hill and feel and did flips down the hill. Then we heard laughing besides mine. We looked around and saw a groundhog. The groundhog look familiar, but we couldn't figure out who it looked like. I texted Batool because of what happened, and then the groundhog started ringing. The groundhog was Batool!


So all of us started sledding. We were racing each other and having a lot of fun together. I thought that all of holding on to a sled and going down the hill was a good idea, I thought wrong. We all feel but were OK, so we tried again but this time I feel and got really hurt. My arm started to catch on fire! I tried to talk but no word came out. I couldn't tell anyone what was wrong. My arm hurt so bad and no one really new. I could talk but I couldn't say anything about my arm.

I didn't let my arm stop me from sledding and having fun Hoedown Hannah and Groundhog Batool. We kept on sledding and sledding. Then Batool was gone! We didn't see her any where. So Hoedown Hannah got on her Mini Horse and I grabbed my dog Kip who has strong stupidity. We were yelling and calling for Batool for hours, but had to give up because it got to dark and we were hungry.

We went back to my house and ate, and Hoedown Hannah had a very rare glass of super sugar, and caffeine pop. Hoedown Hannah went crazy!! She had know idea what was going on, she was literally bouncing off the walls. Pictures were falling of the wall and H2 fell and hurt her neck but she was okay. She had go home, so she jumped on Mini and headed home but that forever was one of the greatest snow days ever!

Is Autism really linked to vaccines?

Is Autism linked to vaccines?

Autism is not linked to vaccines.

In 1998 a man named Dr. Andrew Wakefield, did a study and said that autism was linked to vaccines. Now he is coming out and saying he was wrong. He didn't pick people by random, he paid kids at his son's birthday party to be tested. William Schaffner a professor and chairmen of the department of preventive medicine said "Since Wakefield's study came out, some 20 other studies have come out, and each one of these studies, done by different researchers, in different populations and different countries, has denied the associations between vaccines and autism. Scientifically, the story in over." Wakefield, also said he theorized and in his view in his reason.

If autism were linked to vaccines wouldn't everyone have it. With people not getting their children vaccinated because of Wakefield, there children aren't building up to immunity to other diseases. The Lancet, which is a medical journal, said that Dr.Wakefield was right. Many parents who's children have autism read The Lancet. Many parents were blaming themsleves because their kids had autism, because they vaccinated their kids. The parents have no power of what disorder the
