Should there be safe spaces and/or trigger warnings? I say no because one its just not practical if you are put in a box and subject to only good things in a safe space. Then your not going to know how to react to the offensive things that people are bound to say to you in the future. At the end of the day, the world is a really screwed up place and people are mean and really don't care. Now I have had friends that have been put in a metaphorical box their whole lives and when they hit high school and then go off to college they don't know what to do with them selfs and try various thing most of them detrimental to their health. This is because they have never been exposed to the bad things in life. So a when they are encountered with these things they have no idea exactly how harmful these substance or things are. Also when you are put in a box and told that everything is good and that if people offend you it's a bad thing. Then you're never going to realize that not all people are like those people in the safe spaces and that people will take advantage of you and use. People can't be taught that if another person offends you that it's bad ya it sucks don't get me wrong but its part of life. If you let it control you, you are only giving power to the person that offended you. In a safe space, you wouldn't be able to talk about your beliefs if they "offended" other people. Ok, I'm a Christian ok so that offends you because you are an atheist before you judge me asks me why I believe what I believe. Sit down with me and have a civil conversation ask the hard questions and talk about the sensitive subjects if we did this we might be able to find something that we both believe in and form a friendship out of it. You can't have people that think that if someone's beliefs or ideas offend them then that person is wrong people belvie in different things its just part of life. Know the main argument for having safe spaces is haveing a place where students can sit and be happy and not be judged. Ok so that all good until they step out into the world and get judged. Instead of creating a place that is judged free and encloses people. Create a space that raises awareness of the problems that we have in our world concerning prejudice, racism and other world issues. So that that we can raise a generation that is willing to ask the hard questions and then go out and try to find an answer.

HDR review/worm up

You will need to change the aperture of the camera
A DLSR camera and a tripod
You would make and HDR image because the final product is ultra realistic and it produces a image that is not as disrupted by the color change from the camera and real life
A color change and a more realistic look

they complimented the fact that he shot a wide angle and that the person had a picture that every body in it was doing something
I really liked how he always was in the action and was involved. The only thing that I felt was lacking was the verity of the photos.

The judges picked the winner of the competition by going though there top three portfolios and deciding how many good to bad pictures they had and the if they both had all excellent pictures they decided on which had the better execution and the better story and then from there they picked the winner.

I really liked the picture of the girl that was jumping up and hitting the volleyball and as she was in mid-air the picture was taken and you could see her shadow in the back ground I though this was very cool.
I liked all of the photos that the judges like and dislike all of the ones that they disliked we agreed for the most part

Warm-up Answers

This is a picture of the current prime minister of Canada on July 6th 2016 leading an important India political figure down a red carpet to show his approval. This was a very big moment in Canada political affairs because it has formed a long deputed trade rout from Canada to India and back.

I picked this building for its unique design and structure it looks as if someone took cubed legos and stacked them on top of each other in a random order. I also think it is cool that this building is functional its not just pretty it also has a perpose which is to be a bank.

Warm-up

I think it is true more and more we are not just defining a certain area we are defining the very environment around us.
I would love to take my camera but I would hate to go there because I don't like small confined places.
I think it would be fun because you would be able to go from shop to shape and if there were other kids there you hang out with them and talk and eventually when you get older you could take over the business.
My favorite photo is the photo of the bottom shop theres buttons from wall to wall there big one theres small ones every single bottom you could imagine.
