Portrait
For this project, I took pictures of aspiring models, Ethan Polen and Taylor Weeks. We took pictures around the school and in the school courtyards. I learned how to  take portraits and I also learned how to take pictures from different angles to get the best shot. We also practiced taking photos on manual focus which is much harder. I think that it was a very successful shoot and both models were happy with their images.

Jeff Widener was sent to take pictures of the aftermath of the massacre. As he was taking pictures of the poor bloodied victims, scorched busses, and bicyclists, a column of tanks rolled out of the plaza. Suddenly, a man holding shopping bags stepped in front of the tanks waving his bags around and not willing to move. The tanks attempted to go around the man, but he kept walking in front of the tanks, briefly climbing on top of one of the tanks. Jeff thought that the man would get killed, but the tanks would not fire. The man was quickly whisked away but he became a global hero, a symbol of resistance to regimes all of the world. Jeff Widener stated that one day he hopes
