Neighborhood stores

Today when we went around the neighborhood to different corner stores we found that almost all of them sold junk food. We visited Food Way which had beer, hair products, candies, a deli, bread, drinks, and even some fruits. We also went to the Chinese store which had chinese food, drinks, candy, and cigarettes. The last store that we visited was 7-eleven. At 7-eleven they had donuts, candy, drinks, slurpies, coffe, and even apples and bannanas. The difference between the three corner stores and Fresh Grocer is that Fresh Grocer has more organic items. My ideal corner store would be one one with both fresh foods and some sweets, a nutritious balance of foods, and reasonable prices.

Corner Store

FOOD WAY, CHINESE STORE & 7-ELEVEN

At the corner store their was a variety of different things. They had things from hair products to beer. The similarities with all 3 stores is that each one contained junk food. The Fresh Grocer had many of healthy things while the corner stores had barely any. There are many corner stores in the city because they are quick and easy to get to. My ideal corner store has plenty of fruit, veggies and meats.

Today we went to a couple corner stores to see what kind of foods they sold. Most of them sold foods that weren’t that healthy like potato chips& candy bars. As we kept checking more stores there were some surprising improvements. I started to see corner stores with fruits and vegetables in them. There was fresh meat for hoagies. One store we came across was owned by Asians and there happen to be a whole bar in the back of the store. You got your veggies and Liquor in the same place. I learned that every corner store is not the same and that some stores do contain healthy foods.

Mapping

Yesterday, I learned a little something new about maps. First I walked to Liacourse Walk so I could get a good visual of it. I drew my own map of how to get to Liacourse Walk from Anderson Hall. I'm not a perfect drawer but, I know I did my best. Later on that day, a gentlemen name Nick came into my class and spoke to my members and me about maps. He explained that there were three main different maps. One was a physical map which shows more of the landscapes of an area like the valleys and mountains. The other type of map was Political which showed the actual separation between states and cities. The final type of map was Thematic, which are most of the time color coded to represent different things. For example you could be trying to show how many people in different states are vegetarians. Basically the day went well and I enjoyed Nicks' presentation on maps. Maybe I can use what I learn to make a better map.

These photos have a strong focus or a strong center. you focus mainly on the cat& Butterfly but, everything in the back round appears blurred.

These photos gives an example of leading lines. You see things in the photos afar as well as up close.

These two photos are examples of how pictures looks best when divided into thirds.

No Background No background at all makes for a complete focus of attention on the subject. Notice how the other rules of composition still apply here as the chick falls on the rule of thirds line. Light came from behind the subject.
	The aperture was adjusted to let in maximum amount of light at a setting of around f 2 in this photo. The result is loss of sharpness in the background which we call background simplified. Notice the lack of focus or sharpness. Where does it look like the light is comming from? The top? The side? Here is a subject that does not follow the rule of thirds.

of thirds line. Light came from behind the subject.

	2. Background Included With the aperture set to let in a minimal amount of light at f 16 the focus gets sharper and the background becomes clear. Do this when the objects in the background ADD to the story of your subject

3. Rule of Thirds As discussed in the Technical section and in class - the frame looks best when divided into thirds - here a line one thirds in from the left leads us to the center of interest in this photo - the watch face and reflection. Notice the background is included which adds to the story by showing more books in the library 4. Another Thirds For your notebook put the photo and DRAW the lines to show the thirds

You notice in both these photos there is a focus. both the back rounds in these photos are simplified.

These two photos are both viewed from high points. This means someone above the people in the photos took the photo.

These are no back round photos. In the dog picture it seems that there is no outline because the back round is all white. The Chicken photo is the same way except you can see the outline because its a black back round.

Today we did photography with different cameras. We learned about different techniques to take pictures. Such as focus, blur, sharpness, optical zoom, digital zoom etc. when we got outside we were asked to take different types of pictures such as landscape, portraits, motion, and to learn to make a picture different by using different angles.

The Reading Terminal

Today my group went to The Reading Terminal which is a market full of a whole assortment of different stands that feature specific types of food such as fish,pastries,and poultry.The Terminal is huge and unfortunately we did not get to see the entire place but one of the stand we were able to see was one with candles.There was a woman attending the stand and she told us every thing about her candles business which only uses honey wax for all of their candles which is very uncommon in the candle making business. Also there was another stand that we walked by that sold African bracelets and had a funny warning sign behind the glass display saying that all thieves will be beaten to death and actually that had a reverse effect on me cause it tempted me to steal just to see what would happen.But all together there were dozens more stands all having many different food from all of world but like i said earlier in the time we had we couldn't see every one unfortunately but it was still a very fun and educational course.
