Most parents want to capture their children's back-to-school moments on film. The only problem with this is that most children get upset at the mere idea of posing for that back-to-school picture, and will do the best that they can to avoid it. If and when you do succeed in getting your child to pose for that picture and look happy, he or she would already have lost the polished look that you worked so hard to achieve. There is a secret on how to make this ritual more tolerable and less of a chore for kids. A little planning goes a long way towards letting you take that precious photograph without upsetting your kids.
The idea of going back to school is already nerve-wracking enough for children without you adding to their nervousness by springing a sudden photo session on them. A better way to preserve back-to-school memories is to schedule your photo session a day or two prior to the actual start of the school term. This will give you more time to take the perfect shot and give your kids a chance to feel comfortable in their new school uniform as well. And when the big day comes, all you will have to worry about is getting your child to school.
Now that you know how to make a back-to-school photo session more appealing to your

After all, you are taking a portrait and not a mug shot. Turn your subject slightly to the side and have him look casually back at you. This gives a more pleasing angle to the photo than a direct body shot. It is also advisable to bend down slightly and shoot from your child's eye level rather than your own. Remember that you are shooting a portrait, which means that it is best to fill the frame with your subject by cropping the shot just above your child's waist. Finally, you can artfully use props like a backpack or book to convey the message that this is your child's first day back in

This I Believe – Whether I like it or not, my childhood shaped who I am today.
The Civil War was the first major conflict to be documented by photography. At the time of the Civil War, it was vital to have public support on both the North and the South side of the dispute. It is also said that if war efforts do not have complete support of its’ citizens that it will not result to any benefits. Photography was one way that was almost guaranteeing support of citizens on the homefront. Photographers had power within their photographs, toying with the pathos of the civilians, and causing them to feel whatever the photographers wanted them to. This power was abused at time by manipulating people’s opinions towards the war. There were pictures coming back from the warfront one after the other which made it impossible for people to feel an emotional connection to the soldiers at war. These photographs allowed events happening miles away to feel like they were closer to home causing people to support the war efforts more heavily. Instead of people having their own opinions during the war, photographers used manipulative
Good morning teachers, faculty, administrators, family, friends, and of course students. It is a great privilege to be standing here today and representing our class on our eighth grade Class Day. Can you believe it? Four years ago, most of us walked into this school as nervous as we were the first day of school. We were the tiny fifth graders, the youngest students in this middle school, not knowing where anything was and how to navigate the school. Now, those same four years later, we’re leaving this school behind to a whole new school being just as nervous as we were when we first arrived. It has been a long four years as well as a short four years. Long because of all the tests, quizzes, finals, and projects, but short because of the lifelong friendships, the lasting memories, and the truly interesting and amazing things we learned in-between. The Abington Heights Middle School is definitely a welcoming, fun, memorable, and great school that I will never forget. These four years spent with these wonderful classmates has been an extraordinary journey with many cherishable memories.
The theory of photography originated from the discovery of the camera obscura phenomenon – light that enters a darkened chamber through a small hole is projects an identical inverted image on the interior wall of the outside scene. The first recordings of scientists recognizing this concept was in the writings of Greek philosopher, Aristotle (384 – 322 BC).
Introduction The use of visual supports in special education has long been a practice in developing individualized educational support systems. Visual supports are tools that are used to increase the understanding of language, environmental expectations, and provide structure and support for individuals with disabilities. Visual supports are flexible enough that they can be provided in a variety of ways, and across multiple settings. Since the rise of inclusive classrooms, students with disabilities have been included in the general education classroom for a portion, if not a majority, of their school day.

There are some events that can be seized in a camera and kept forever. Family photographs are generally kept stored at one place. No one actually bothers to edit them while presenting them to others. Folks like to see themselves just how they are when they were small. However, for proficient photographers, this is not the scenario. They do not sell family photographs. Their market is all about selling only professional photographs. Hence, these specialists cannot afford to portray raw photographs without any editing. Since the whole world would be eyeing at their creativity, they have to retouch photographs so that they look outstanding and attention-grabbing.
Photojournalism plays a critical role in the way we capture and understand the reality of a particular moment in time. As a way of documenting history, the ability to create meaning through images contributes to a transparent media through exacting the truth of a moment. By capturing the surreal world and presenting it in a narrative that is relatable to its audience, allows the image to create a fair and accurate representation of reality.

Nostalgia. Such a simple word for something that causes us to feel many emotions. Listening to a certain song may make us feel sad and long for past times while watching some TV shows make you feel like a kid again. Countless studies have been conducted to understand the concept of nostalgia and to understand why it causes us to feel the way we do. Even though we all experience nostalgia on more than one occasion in our lifetime, it 's not uncommon for people to go through their lives feeling different types of nostalgia without knowing there 's a word to describe this feeling. There are many different definitions for the word nostalgia but the most basic and common is a feeling of longing for the past. Now that you’ve got a basic understanding
Photographs of the street are as photography itself is old. Cameras were set on balconies or aimed them out of windows by the earliest practitioners, which took advantage of natural light in capturing the life in the streets below (Paul McDonough, 2010). As camera became more portable and smaller, the photographers took them into the streets and created a photography type. Casually spontaneous or carefully staged by turns, in nature documentary or seemingly without subject as diverse as the streets themselves. In this sense, the term ‘street photography,’ that being used now in the description of photographs taken in any space that is public, is as much as broad as the landscape categories or portrait photography.
My thoughts on my photograph being taken in particular have changed drastically over time. When I was younger, I literally gave no thought to my photo being taken, I barely even remember them being taken. When I look at the photographs of my childhood, I remember the moment in which they were taken, but I don't remember the photo actually being taken. Now I always know when someone is taking a picture of me, sort of like a sixth sense. I think the reason behind that is that when I was younger I loved my photo being taken and now I hide from the camera. Mostly because of insecurities and knowing how quickly a photo can travel now through the internet and social media.
If I owned my own school, it would reflect on all the positive features that my elementary and secondary schools offered me. Education opens minds that were closed, but now they are open because of the experiences the student had. Schooling gives you the materials you need to help in the work world and teaches you how to be a powerful member of society. Education is important because you are able to connect with teachers who become close to you. Community is just one aspect of a school that makes it powerful. Teachers are another aspect that can make the school significant. Instilment of positive values is final aspect of school that can make it influential too. My ideal school contains the aspects of what I have come from. All of these ideals
