Photography:
My favorite photo in the newspaper is on page 4, I enjoy black and white pictures most of the time, but especially when they do their homework. This picture contains true black areas, and true white areas, meaning they took the time to edit the photo.
My least favorite photo is on the bottom of page, and this is because you can't see the girls face, I get the whole prick in the finger thing but they should have also had her face be in the picture. I love the meaning behind the picture and the intention, but it could have been shot better.
I would have like to have done the zilker photo because personally I love night time/long exposure photography, and the picture that was used was a little sad in my opinion. There could have been some nice depth of field or simply more color.
Story Pitch:
I think a cool topic would be "What inspires students" and having students be interviews and asked what inspires them to achieve their goals and to push through the hard times of life.
Another story Idea would to be about the cities plans to build a "bike highway" from the wildflower center all the way to the capital, having it branch off through the whole city and to encourage the use of bicycles.
