Week 5: What Has My Interest

Over the past 5 years , I always seen online tutorials to learn photo shop tools. Many people over look the free educated information given on certain websites. IT`S true, I adapted to photoshop from years of simple research . About time I got to college , I had a wide range of photo shop tools and tricks under my sleeves. Most teachers were shock with my knowledge knowing it was my first semester in school.  This online tutorial stood out to me because I recently had a project on doubling exposure and this site help me out majorly. At the end of day , any artist should take advantage of that ALWAYS!!

This always gets my day going. National Geographic has a unique photo posted everyday. One thing that stood out to me from the photo of the day , is that its completely something different each day . Different parts of the world, different cultures , and various ethnics. These photos are captured from all over the world , shot from many photographers. A lot of information can be gain from the photo of the day because its a lot of things shown in these images that you may not know about or hear about.
In the beginning of this month , a photographer capture aging inmates. The oldest inmate serving time is in Maine State Prison . Seeing this photo , let me read on someones story. Albert is one of the oldest inmates there and he stated in the article that since he was three years old , he had to steal to eat. He had to steal to survive and that really touch me . Images tell stories and national geographic are sharing stories around the world with photo of the day so people like me or who ever can see whats going on everywhere.

Week 3: DemoGraphics

Demographic changes are certainly newsworthy but why did NPR, you know, “public radio choose the angle of commercial marketing- BEER commercials no less? Pardon me, but I thought NPR was about independent journalism and critical inquiry into real issues. Not only does NPR insult them with this public relations drivel for the beer industry, it actually vomits their commercials on us. Not that it's the first time, NPR has engaged in marketing in violation of its mission statement but hey, I want the media, especially "public" radio to perceive me as a CITIZEN who must make informed choices not a mere consumer of goods and services. So just like "They love beer," says Jim Sabia, chief marketing officer for Crown Imports, which distributes Mexican beers including Corona and Modelo. "Hispanics are 19 percent more likely to purchase beer than the rest of U.S. consumers." On top of that, Hispanics will make up a large portion of the legal drinking-age population in the future. Personally, racial profiling to sell a product is completely unacceptable. Todays society and commercial advertising is getting outta hand SERIOUSLY. Hispanic’s have always been socially seen as corona beer drinkers and heavy drinker’s period over time.
