What I wanted from this picture is to have meaning so what I did was write Strive on the board and we can see me fading away while writing it. What do you think strive means to you? Well to me it is You have to always continue to strive no matter how hard things get, no matter how troubled you feel. No matter how tough things get, no matter how many times you lose, you keep trying to win. When you have a goal you strive to reach it so why does and we should'nt srtive to be perfect but for exellence. On occasion we need to make a second effort - and a third effort, and a fourth effort and that's what I did while doing this and in the end I got what I wanted and I was happy and content with it.

A Day at The Royal Winter Fair

By: Sara Liban

Published: November 12, 2012

Toronto, November 9 - Do you know what goes on at the Royal Winter fair?As the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair celebrates its 90^th year Lassie, a 4 year old goat has been participating in this function for years. She demonstrates fondness to people who feed here and enjoys the attention. " She's quite a beauty and loves people" says her caretaker, John. Lassie is active than all the other goats. Many people come back to visit Lassie every year especially kids she charms. She walks elegantly up her slide to get to her resting area and get attention of her audience.

       John states "This is many of the exciting things you can see at the royal winter fair but this is the best part, besides who can resist this cute and adorable goat"? John takes great pride in taking care of Lassie and presenting her to the people for them to see and admire her. Lets hope to see Lassie next year and her amazing skills because next year she will be joining the goat competition which we would definitely win with her charm and love for people. How can you animal lovers resist Lassie? " I love Lassie beucase she is cute and she is beautiful" says Katie, a seven-year-old girl.

What I love about these photos is that the expressions, its honest and true. You can tell she loves dancing and is an outgoing person. And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt, but asou can you can see she has no self-doubt. This generation people have gotten way to serious and need to have a little fun before its to late. I truly think that's what they should do as everyone says live life to the fullest. I'm going to end with my favourite quote by William W. Purkey:
 "You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”

The reason behind this photo is that I wanted to get up and personal to examine her features. What I found was a girl who loves to daydream. As I always say day dreaming is an escape from reality and a place or fantasy that nothing can stop you from expressing your feelings and doing whatever you like. As you can see in the photo she is smiling but yet her eyes seem as if she isn't there. You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. I took this picture at a time where I thought she was at her naturalist moment. The end result I got her when she was in deep thought. Some may say at a time where you're there but yet some where else.

Multiple Exposure

 

 

This multiple exposure shows that people can have fun on rainy days and do things they enjoy. In the photo you see Claire acting freely and posing near trees and bushes. Its almost like watching her dance on a rainy day. As we all know: "when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow".

Jules T. Allen

 

         The main reason I love this photographer is because I could relate to his pictures. Since I am an African Canadian, I can relate by knowing what these people in the pictures are feeling and what the photographer's message is. I honestly love just knowing that a black photographer can do great things and I truly think Jules photos are remarkable for their very raw and very real sense of beauty. For example, the Black Bodies applauds the black woman for the 'freedom' she personifies. There are no ornate props-just natural, raw beauty.Back when my parents lived in Africa to be more specific Somalia, it was really hard because of the poverty and all but it wasn't always like that. Seeing Jules photos made me realize that not everything in reality is perfect and people need to open there eyes and see things for what they are.
