Weird people
this is my dad. now we all know where i got it from.
this is jessica. she is just plain strange.
this is grant. i do believe that he is from outer space.
i like these because they are CLOSE UP AND PERSONAL, the people are laid back and relaxed like they know me.
these are just a couple weird people in my community. trust me, there are more.
Future Farmers of America
All of these pictures of livestock are all fair projects owned by FFA members. 
this is a picture of my friends pigglets. (left) hambonita & (right) pork rine. they are being raised for sharing at fair and then to be auctioned off for consumption.
this is my fair project. this is a hampshire market lambnamed Martin. he is my buddy.
these are turkeys at the high school that are a part of the turkey co-op.
The Future Farmers of America is an organization composed of three elements:
Hi Agian im back.This time I took a picture of a pond we have in west point at the christmas tree farm.
I took this picture because it was really pretty.This picture is really inspiring and makes me love taking pictures like this alot more.It is one of the reasons I love west point.
These flowers I took a picture of were the flowers in my back yard.They were really pretty.
They come every spring.They are the reasons I love spring.I love to take pictures of the flowers.On friday I am going to take pictures at daffidill hill.
I also want to tell you some things I learned in this class.I learned about angles,texture,the grounds ,and the focal point.Those are some things I learned and wanted to share.
I choos this pitcher because of it's relly old too. It's been around for a relly long time and lots of old people go ther. I like this pitcher couse of the angle with the pattern of the trees and the old bilding behind it.
i like cars
o my its a corvette must not drool, huh. o sorry this is my theme for this week and i couldnt be happier that it is. because im bored at the moment and im realy slow cause i stayed up til 4:00 a.m. 
its beautiful sniffle
i must have a picture (snap,snap,snap) yes yes yes ilove this car but imust leave here without this car
im sorry but ineed to go eat something for dinner.its nacho and taco nite :) ihave learned that i am good at landscape .
do i love angle?
Okay, dumb question huh? i love angle so much. it just makes my day so much brighter! I love the way the angles in these photos manipulate the way we see things. the gnome pictures look either taller or shorter than they truly are. and the angle in the cozy cabin photo shows the texture in the wood. texture is also a great thing in photos! i love how different angles show the texture in different ways!
so a couple other things ive learned from this project are how to compose a photo and how to manipulate the angle and the lighting.
=]
This picture has so much detail nd the black nd white just accentuate the look. the lines from build, the stairs leading up, the trees in the back ground, the line in the sky from plane and u cant forget the rule of thirds it could go on forever.
Abandend
I took this pitcher in West Point by West Point School. It's Abandend and it's ben around for as long as I can remember.It looks like a hanted house i wonder how somone could live in such a small house. It's also dangerus because it has caution tap in front of the door.
What I've learnd about Photography is,taking pitchers of three different angles,texture and pattern,foreground,midground,background,pitchers that focus on color,taking pitcher of people's emotions.
The group is going to be interviewing members of the blue mountain area and we came up with ideas to keep in mind and would help to make us more comfortable.
What Will Make Abult-Youth Teams Work:
Don't be mean/treat us respectfully.
Listen to our ideas .
Be open minded.
Be encouring.
Be helpful.
Dont be afraid to give honest feedback if there are images you dont like.
Be honest-both members shoud tell eachohter if there is a conflict.
If you can't make an appoinment then tell your team mate and not at the last minute.
Don't treat us like kids, treat us like equals.
If I'm shy, please help me and ask me questions.

Black Diamond T-shirt prices for Up from the Understory
The price for a basic white t-shirt is 8.50.
The price for a colored shirt is 9.50.
This includes the shirt with one color printing on the front or back.
Each additional print is 85 cents. So if you want to get a white shirt with a
print on both sides of the shirt or a second color on the same side it would be 8.50 + .85 = 9.35.
There is a screen charge of 25.00 for each color. Bear this in mind as you decide on your design and how many colors you want, because If you wanted a 4 color design that would be 100.00 in screen charges.
I look forward to working with you on this part of your project.
Feel free to call me with any questions

i took this picture because i thought that it sort of represents the "dryness" persay; that there is notmuch happening, it is kind of old fashoined type of town in west point.
but then i look around and i see reflections. such as in a mud puddle.
i turn and i see a flag..a tree..so much beauty that one needs to seek, but it is involentary.
when you look for the beauty, you see more ugly. but you find it in unexpected places..such as a mud puddle.
Hi for all you new comers.My name is Tina.
We want a park in west point and this is what we want it nto look like.
This is my cat tiger. a few years ago i was sitting on my porch and he walked up to me and kept rubbing my leg
This is my cat tiger. a few years ago i was sitting on my porch and he walked up to me and kept rubbing my leg. he has been with me ever since.this is my cat storm. he just showed up one day and stayed.
we have had problems with feral cats in our community. by no means are these cats feral now but there are a lot more in our town. i don't think the pound is the right solution but what are we supposed to do?
West Point Post Office
This is the front of the west point post office as you can see. this is the sign on the wall and i liked the way it looked when i took the picture. it is plain and i like it.
I really liked this picture. it looks like it could be either like a neverending chain of mailboxes. You could also think it looks like a jail or somethin. but the pic itself looks really neat.
This is the whole post office from the front view. people come to the post office all day long and they really like to get thier mail, unless of course they are getting their bills. ha ha ha.
Nagetive
I choose this photo because this is a problem in West Point. People abandain thier vehicle's anny where and ervery where. This is the 2nd biggest problem in West Point. Can you see why this person abandend this vehicle.

Refrigerator.Telephone.♥
THIS IS ME! this picture is of me singing and i dont usually like posting pictures of myself but she made me haha.
This picture is just silly and it is grant being himself. i like it becasue he looks so comfortable with me taking his picture.
Somethin that i absolutely love about my community is that i rarely see any garbage laying around and that lets our trees grow nice and tall because they are in a healthy environment.
A problem i have noticed about our community is that there are few buildings around us and most adults seem to think that the most important one is the bar.
the good the bad and the cute in my community
this is my dog owen. he is a tongue on legs.
this is my shadow. aaaaaaaaaaah!
a good thing about my community is the scenery. 
abad thing in our community is that people have to commute because there are barely any close jobs.
