Multicultural WEEK Photo Story: Senior Edition!

  As seniors, we are privileged to have the gift of a drivers licence; most seniors, or at least most seniors that I know, leave campus for the extended one hour we are given, each day during MC week. I decided to tag along with my friends, and try out some milk tea from a new place nearby called My Delights. For reference, Milk tea is a drink originating from Taiwan, with tapioca balls and creamy sweet tea.

         

This is my milk tea after ordering and waiting about five minutes. It tasted wonderful, but I usually prefer my milk tea with more tapioca at the bottom. 

This is my friend Angela! She's actually the driver because my other friend Sam and I still do not have our licenses. She seems to be enjoying her popcorn chicken a whole lot. :D

This is Samiha, or Sam as I call her. Although she seems to be stoic in this picture, she's acting cool for the camera. She's actually pretty chill, and smiles too much. But besides that, we all got the same drink, but Sam found it a little bit too sweet for her taste!

This is me being super cute and happy after drinking my tea and eating some fried tofu. We ate the tofu too fast, and before I could take out my camera all the snacks were gone. 

Angela is standing here smiling, but if you look very close you could see a creepy photobomb in this picture. On the whole My Delights was a very nice experience. The shop is also close to school, so we decided that even on regular lunch days this would be a place to come to. After taking this picture, we all proceeded to go back to school and join the rest of the student body once again.

Story- Spiritual Sea

I was standing at the ethereal southern tip of India, staring out into the far distance; what is on this earth but oblivion? I lost all sense of consciousness, and I felt dizzied, at the vastness of mother nature. I stared at the ravaging waves and thought about mother natures ability to kill and nurture, all at the same time.

MJSMCW STORY

I stood in line

For the tickets I had to pay a fine.

Blue stubs and more blue, pink stubs and more pink

More stubs came into my hand as I felt my wallet sink.

I walked into the academic jungle that was the horseshoe,

as i contemplated what to do.

Which line to stand in, where to eat

I was occupied with the thought of eating a treat.

Students chattered,

Clubs became flattered,

Tickets sold left right and center.

Food was running out,

students ran about, 

wondering where to enter.

At last it was finished,

the bell had rung,

and almost everyone had gone back to class.

But the clubs remained,

Closing up shop,

counting their money's mass. 

Principles of Design- Proportion

 This picture shows proportion, because the cart, the trees, and the hedges are positioned aptly so that the cart is centered proportionately in the picture.

Principles of Design- Emphasis

    This picture gives a sense of emphasis, because the picture is focused on the sea, but the clouds and rocks surround the sea, creating a slight distraction.

Principles of Design- Unity

The wood boards of the ceiling come together to create a pyramidal shape, giving a sense of unity.

Shutter Speed and Things

1. This photo was taken with a fast shutter speed. As the truck is in a constant state of motion, as is the green one in front of it, it is only convenient that a fast shutter speed be used to capture the truck in motion.

2. One of my rules of composition is lines and shadow. The rule of lines and shadow is artfully sown in this photo, as the white lane dividers extend into the distance, and the road divider exhibit a horizontal line pattern. Tulika's rule of composition is the rule of depth. The rule of depth is aptly depicted in the picture, with the help of perceived distance.

3. An element of art that is used in the photo is the use of colour. In a mixture of bleak brown and charcoal, the vibrant blue and red colors of the trucks stand out.

4. A principle of design that is used in the photo is proportion. The trucks that are on the road have been proportionally positioned to depict depth and distance.

Shutter Speed: 1/70

I do not know the actual shutter speed. This is guess.
