Did you complete the photo scavenger hunt? What kind of fun pictures were you able to capture? Did you do all your photos at school or did you do some at home over the weekend? Share one of your favorites.

I finished my photo scavenger hunt last Friday. I got all of my photos in the halls of Blue Valley. I got some pretty good photos of daily scenes of school. The list was relatively easy so it was not very hard to complete in school. I have a few pictures of various posters hung up in the hallways, signs, and students.

What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest?

I do not have that much background with photography. I really don't take many photos, other than the occasional pic with my friends at a party. Sometimes I take selfies with my friends or I have someone else snap a pic of me. If I am posting pictures on instagram I will most likely put a filter on it. Instagram filters are pretty rad and they increase your number of likes for sure. I've taken a lot of art classes throughout my time here at Blue Valley High School, at least one every semester, and I have taken photography. It was a cool class but it wasn't really my thing. It can be pretty challenging to develop pictures from film exactly the way you want to and it is time consuming to take your pictures everyday after school. I like taking pictures but I wouldn't say I do it as often as other girls do. I just don't really have much of an interest in photography and I don't think about taking a quick picture when I could.

Welcome back! Go ahead. Tell me all about your Spring Break. Include photos!

I spent my spring break in Kansas this year. I couldn't go to Mexico with the rest of my friends because my parents wouldn't let me. I mostly just worked at Sunset Grill and I made a lot of money. I spent my first weekend on break with my boyfriend who I had not seen in awhile. I turned 18 on my first day of break and I celebrated with my family at the Cheesecake Factory. The most exciting thing I did over break was getting my first tattoo. I got a diamond on the side of my ribs because I believe that our past shapes us into who we are today and I could not be any happier with who I have become.

Tell me about your weekend.

Unfortunately I was sick all weekend so I didn't do much. I had to work Saturday and Sunday at Sunset Grill. When I wasn't at work I watched a lot of Friends on Netflix and my mom brought me Panera a couple of times. I missed 3 days of school last week so I will have a lot of make up work to catch up on.
