FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY!!

I chose this kind of art because it seems interesting. There are many things to know about it, Fine art photography refers to photographs that are created to fulfill the creative vision of the artist. Fine art photography stands in contrast to photojournalism and commercial photography. Photojournalism provides visual support for stories, mainly in the print media. Commercial photography's main focus is to sell a product or service..

• a good photograph is one that communicate a fact, touches the heart, leaves the viewer a change person for having seen it. It is, in a word, EFFECTIVE. Irving Penn.
• a great photograph is one that fully express what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed. Ansel Adams.

I liked so much this photograph by Sudek Josef. He was a Czech photographer, best known for his haunting night-scapes of Prague. Sudek's photography is sometimes said to be modernist. But this is only true of a couple of years in the 1930s, during which he undertook commercial photography and thus worked "in the style of the times". Primarily, his personal photography is neo-romantic.

ELIZABETH CADY STANTON!!!

The mother of
equality for women!

I recently read "Elizabeth Cady Stanton: the mother of equality for women" by Tanya Lee Stone, a book about a wowan who wanted that all the women had to vote. It´s interesting how did she struggle with all the people that were against her.

The story begins when Elilzabeth was 11 years, her father, Judge Cady, was unfair with a woman who only wanted her properties/belongings, but because she was a woman she didn´t have rights so her belongings were given to her son. Elizabeth saw that injustice so she decided to change the laws: Women must be given the right to vote and omitt the word "obey" at the weddings because it implies that the wife is less than her husband. evrybody was against Elizabeth, they didn´t support the ideas that she had. There was only one man , Frederick Douglass, who was agree with her resolution.

The main characters Elizabeth Cady, her father: Judge Cady, a middle aged woman, Elizabeth´s husband:Henry B. Stanton, Frederick Douglass.

I liked the book because that I understood it has a moral: With perseverance you can achieve everything that you want, It doesn´t matter how long can take it, and this is the one reason that I recommend it.

My heros!!!... my favorite cartoon...jaja

I`m going to write oabout them.... The Powerpuff girls!!...their history:

The Powerpuff Girls were created by Craig McCracken as a project for his animation class at the California Institute for the Arts. McCracken’s original film was titled “Whoopass Stew” and the girls were called “The Whoopass Girls”. (The name “Powerpuff Girls” came later.) In the film, a character named Professor Utonium decided to create perfect little girls by combining sugar, spice and everything nice with a can of Whoopass. Thus, it was a can of Whoopass, and not Chemical X that led to the original creation of the Powerpuff Girls. McCracken then made another animated film, called “A Sticky Situation”, which featured the Amoeba Boys and The Whoopass Girls.

The names of the Whoopass Girls were Bubbles, Blossom and Buttercup, the same names that are used today.Here’s where Hanna Barbara comes in… Hanna Barbara saw McCracken’s Whoopass Girls and decided it would make a successful television cartoon series. In order to make the series more appropriate for television, the name was changed to “The Powerpuff Girls”. In 1995, Cartoon Network premiered the Powerpuff Girls in “World Premiere Toons” . The first episodes were “Meat Fuzzy Lumpkins” in 1995, and “Crime 101” in 1996. The Powerpuff Girls were an instant success, which led to more episodes and finally to the creation of the “The Powerpuff Girls” cartoon series in 1998. The first episodes of “The Powerpuff Girls” were “Monkey See, Doggie Doo” and “Mommy Fearest”.The Powerpuff Girls are super heros. They use their ultra-super powers to fight crime and the forces of evil.

Blossom is the leader of the Powerpuff Girls and runs the hotline phone. As a Powerpuff Girl, she has the powers of laser vision, super strength, ability to fly, ice breath and fire breath. Her element is “everything nice’, her color is pink, and she is smart, loyal and dependable.

Bubbles is the sensitive Powerpuff Girl. Her role is to cheer up the Powerpuff Girls and to come up with alternate plans. She has the powers of laser vision, and super strength. She has the ability to fly, and speaks Squirrel and Spanish. Her element is “sugar”, her color is blue, and she is bubbly, sweet, and cute.

The last Powerpuff Girl is Buttercup who is the toughest Powerpuff Girl. She has the powers of laser vision, super strength, and the ability to fly. Her element is “spice”, her color is green, and she is tough and grouchy. All three Powerpuff Girls are 4 or 5 years old, and attend Pokey Oaks Kindergarten.“The Powerpuff Girls” are now one of the highest rated shows on Cartoon Network.

HOW TO LEARN ENGLISH !!!

Hi!! now I would like to write about how can you improve your english skills. Here are some tips for doing it:

• Speak without fear people worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right.

• Use all of your Resources Even if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect.

• Watch English Films and Television and Listen to English Music This is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. Music can be a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings.

• Study As Often As Possible! Take tests and do exercises Only by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises, can you really improve your knowledge of any language. One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and tests is that they give you a benchmark to compare your future results with. Often, it is by comparing your score on a test you took yesterday with one you took a month or six months ago that you realize just how much you have learned. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing.

I think these tips are very important for learning english. You have to practice as much as posible. Nowadays people think that only practicing at the school they`ll learn, learning English requires practice.

A lesson in caring!!!

I think the author and his daughter learnt in what way they can help others for example giving them food, clothes, etc... although at first he didn´t want to do it... but the most important thing is that they gave without expecting a reward back... so that´s a good reason that I consider him a hero...The author was motivated to begin doing volunteer work because of his daughter. He wondered, how can she thinks, being so little, in helping strange people and realized about the suffering and poverty??. .

Michael Jordan!!!

Michael Jordan (full name Michael Jeffrey Jordan) was born on February 17, 1963 in Brooklyn, New York, but his family decided to move to Wilmington, North Carolina when he was still a toddler and is the fourth of five children, having two olderbrothers and an older and younger sister. As a child, Michael Jordan played baseball, basketball and football.

By the time Michael Jordan was finishing his senior year at Laney High School, he enrolled and achieved a basketball scholarship from the University of North Carolina in 1980. Michael Jordan's ever-growing popularity began at UNC where he won the National Basketball Championship as a college freshman.

In the summer of 1984, Michael Jordan played on the U.S Olympic basketball team that won the gold metal and also in 1984, he joined the NBA as a player for the Chicago Bulls, where Jordan immediately became the NBA´s most valuable player (MVP) and would win the title 6 time. I think because of his skills and allure made him the perfect key figure to market both Nike products and the NBA.

After proving that he was the best basketball player in the world he retired before the 1993-94 season because he sought a new challenge: to pursue a baseball career. Jordan quickly realized that he was not cutout for baseball after a disappointing season so he decided that he would never excel at professional baseball.

In March 1995, Jordan made a surprise he returned to the National Basketball Association (NBA). In 1996, Michael Jordan led the Bulls to their best regular season record and the fourth Championship title in six years. He also took a shot at the silver screen, where he starred alongside Bugs Bunny in the animated comedy Space Jam.

After that, in 1999 he retired from Basketball , now he is an active businessman. This biography is an example of what do you want to achieve with an effort and willingness.
