Maddie commented on the post, The Impact of Imprisonment at Sixteen 5 months, 1 week ago
This is very well written and inspiring. I agree that something needs to be done about this issue- teens are too young to face some of the charges that adults do. I do think that teens are old enough to face consequences of their actions, but for this to be true, we need a fair and just system- not one that judges on account of race. We should be…[Read more]

Maddie commented on the post, Safety Pins 5 months, 1 week ago
I definitely agree with you, in that in order for things to change, we need to actually make that change happen. I do think that the safety pin idea is a good start and a good representation of what we want to change, but we do need to stand up and make change. Great writing and ideas!

Dear Maddie,
I really like this photo. I love how you were able to make Mr. Hentschel the main focus of the piece. Many times when one is trying to focus on just the person that does not always happen. What ends up happening is the background and people in the photo are pulled together, they ends up not being the true focus. Great photo! -
I really liked your post. You do not even need the description to get the message out of the picture. Mr. Hentschel is clearly an important person.

Dear Maddie,
I am happy about your post, “Important People”, because it was informing. I learned a lot. This is cool. One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is,”For and assignment, we had to photograph an important person.” I think this is smart because you’re smart. Smart people have smart ideas. Another sentence that I liked was, “In these photos, I used a softbox light, and a small aperture, as you can see by the shallow depth of field (blurry background).” This stood out for me because it gives detail. Your post reminds me of something that happened to me. One time I read an article. I liked it. It was about people and pictures. It was cool. It was smart. Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because you’re a good writer. I would like to see more post about your teachers. You’re a good writer. Good luck. -
Maddie,
This photo is beautiful, and I too believe that sometime thing turn out better if you don’t plan every aspect of them. You did a great job of making your teacher the main focus, and I really enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing. -
Dear, Maddie
I am pleased about your post on important people because the concept of not always planning things can lead to great aspects. One thing that stood out was the fact you noticed all those details of the colors on the board and how you connected it all together.

We have recently researched a contemporary photographer, and I researched Phil Borges. Phil Borges was born in 1942 in the United States and is a social documentary photographer and filmmaker. He documents and
-
Dear Maddie,
I am intrigued by your post because it was able to concisely tell the tale and ambitions of this photographer. He had a purpose when photographing: to shed light on those less fortunate then ourselves.
One thing you said that stands out to me is, “He documents and photographs indigenous cultures to show the hardships they face as well as their everyday life.” I think this is inspiring because it opens up our thinking and enlightens us on problems that others who are less fortunate than us are facing. It also says that this photographer is trying to show us the other side of life for other people.
Another thing that you said that stood out to me is, “His goal in taking these portraits is ‘striving to create an understanding of the challenges they face…'” I think this is nice because it shows that people, such as Phil Borges, are trying to educate us on what else is happening that we ourselves can’t see or do not experience.
Thanks for your project. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I feel that it will be just as interesting as this one. I think it will also have just as interesting ideas as this one did. -
Hello Maddie,
I find you article very interesting about Phil Borges. His style of photography is very interesting. It seems very unique and impressive art style. It is impressive the extend at which you can take photography so well and use cameras to create these interesting effects with the background and foreground.
-
I love how deep photography can get and how many underlining messages there are in each photo, so I find this really interesting on how he used such minor changes in his pictures to make a bolder statement.

Hi Maddie your writing is grand. You chose a really broad topic and I think youre doing a good job of condensing the info and making it understandable. Keep up the good work. Do you think the diet of America will change in the coming years?

This is a great post and very interesting. I like that you talk about how to make the sport safer, not just not playing the sport. I do think it is important to know the dangers of playing the sport, but it is also important to also know how to stay safe.

This is a very interesting and well written post. I agree that beauty standards can be, and many times are, harmful for people.

You are correct- political correctness is a big issue in today’s society. But it should be. People SHOULD be careful of what they say in order not to offend others. As many other people have commented, a big part of this issue is that people don’t and won’t understand what it is like to be in someone else’s shoes. In order for you to make a strong…[Read more]

I think that this is an interesting topic that I haven’t considered before.

However, I do think that there can be some major benefits of talking about relationships while in…[Read more]

Feminism is not women “complaining about really foolish topics”. Feminism is people (men and women) realizing that sexism and inequities exist and cannot be ignored. There is real inequality for women in this country and around the world. Feminists are not hated by most and are not “jokes” as you put it; some feminists have made real contributions…[Read more]
