Well, I'm glad nobody reads this anymore.

PROSALMONVERBS
If a salmon falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
A fool and his salmon are soon parted.
Home is where the salmon is.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single salmon.
It's not worth crying over spilled salmon.
You can't teach an old salmon new tricks
A nod's as good as a wink to a blind salmon.
Make salmon not war.
A salmon saved is a salmon earned.
Salmon is as salmon does.
A salmon paints a thousand words.

Context
Being a senior, it's been a constant struggle to stay focused during the school day. I'll look back to my notebook at the end of the hour to find that my doodle-to-notes ratio has taken a severe swing (90% doodles, 10% notes), and frankly, I don't really care. I used GIMP to put a few of these doodles in the hallway. I might add more later.

Photo #5: Shadow & Light
This week I was looking for opportunities to catch some interesting light effects. I found the reflection in the ceiling of the school elevators were really interesting. I also played around with a flashlight and a locket. These are a few of the shots I got.
While I thought the pictures in the elevator turned out looking very cool, I don't think they were technically the best. I like the space and the contrast in this photo.

Photo #3: Open Assignment (Nature and Toys)
I thought it would be pretty cool to take some shots of silly manmade things in a beautiful, natural environment. After some exploring, climbing, and stepping in puddles that looked a lot less deep than they actually were, I found the perfect place to set everything up.
I had to do some balancing to get this shot, but I'm glad I did; I love the perspective and the colors.

AP
I feel I've wasted too much time on honors and AP classes. How many times has my family ordered pizza because I had too much homework to make a nice dinner? How many times have I chipped into my beauty sleep to finish up some project or other? Precious hours that I should have spent learning the most efficient ways to keep a clean home were instead spent writing papers and learning things a good housewife will never need to know. My priorities have, for the past four years, been completely mixed up.
I am a woman. A woman's place is in the home, raising the children and cleaning and cooking and maybe gardening--if there's time. How could I have been so blind? Everything is clear to me now: I'll drop all my classes, order a few books by Martha Stewart, and start learning what's REALLY important.
No more school.

Photo #2: Portrait
I took pictures of my friend Hannah Bender at the Saline Depot Museum and while she was taking pictures around school. I was tempted to choose a final picture where her face is behind the camera (that would be much more reflective of her personality), but I ended up going with the more traditional portrait.

Photo Assignment: Still Life
The first of a series of photo assignments. I set up a still life of paint, brushes, and a pallet. I had some fun messing with the colors as well as the way the paint was spilling out of the pallet.
