Coke vending machine
i changed the brightness and the contrast to give this photo a little more of a "i take the subway home and i forgot to buy a drink with my subway sandwich" vibe .
Random people in the hallway
I changed this photo by using "free cut" and then i used the "posterize" for the background layer. i personally like this one because i don't even now their names but i stilled made them look swag.

Reflection
i have learned so many useful techniques to when it comes to photography. I have sprouted into a better photographer than i was in the beginning of the semester. My favorite project was the 5 minutes per slide , of the photographer that we were assigned and we got to learn more about fantastic photographers. I did not like the 5 framed story project. i suck at writing captions, but i managed , and now i feel like that project taught me just a little more. I don't think i will continue in the photojournalism lane, but now i know what I'm able to capture in just a single frame shot. i am excited to use my skills in the future.

"Honestly being gay isn't very hard for me or my peers or my family. My mom? She was way too upset at first , but she came around and finally accepted me . my dads opinion doesn't matter to me, my parents are divorced so i don't care about him . My friends don't mind me being gay, this school is so open about it that i don't even care if i came to school in a dress one day, well at least i hope not. And for myself? I've always embraced my gayness. i love myself, but i hate how other people step over me. if i had the guts , i would shut all of them out."

Oh no! Jason tripped over his shoe while skating and is now falling! Luckily Micah was walking passed him and decided to take action.
Thud! Jason fell on top of Micah. Both of them to laugh at this incident . "I am so sorry !" exclaimed Jason apologetically. Micah continues to chuckle.
Phew! "That was a bad fall." Micah said chuckily as he gave back Jasons board. "Yeah it really was. Thank you so much." says Jason a bit timidly.
So long. Micah and Jason shake hands and go their separate ways.
