This story is about two complete strangers meeting in art class, their sophomore year. They had art class together and never knew each other before. Alyssa sat on the corner next to Gabriel on the first day of school. They stayed in those seats for only that day, but then the teacher made assigned seats and they thought they would get separated. Alyssa was hoping she did since she was anti-social and would rather sit next to a girl. Although she didn’t really have that luck. She was assigned to sit next to Gabriel again. Although this time they moved to the front of the class. In art class they had a lot of partner work that they needed to do. They had to work with whoever was their partner already. At first both Alyssa and Gabriel wouldn’t talk. They would just get to doing the work. Later on, throughout the school year the teacher would always make them sit next to each other, and since they were forced to talk to each other, they slowly became best friends. They wouldn’t hangout outside of class but some people in class started to think they were in a relationship. That was not the case, they were still good friends and would just text after school. It came closer to Alyssa’s birthday and Gabriel was asking Alyssa what she wanted for her birthday, but Alyssa would always say she didn’t want anything but a day off of school. What she wanted didn’t come true though, but Gabriel walked up to Alyssa with a gift basket filled with so many goodies and a Nike hoodie. The snacks that were in the basket were filled with Alyssa’s favorite snacks. Alyssa was so excited and happy for it. Alyssa started to wonder why Gabriel got the basket for her, if they are just friends. She was thinking to herself if he does that for all his friends. But as Alyssa started to pay attention, she noticed she started to catch feelings for Gabriel. She would do the most to shut those feelings down because she was scared to ruin a friendship. She didn’t know if the relationship was better to stay off as friends. Alyssa came to find out that Gabriel was feeling the same but didn’t speak up about it. After some time both Alyssa and Gabriel had a talk and came to find out they both feel the same towards each other. They both came to agree to risk the friendship and try to be in a relationship. The relationship was so easy for them and they noticed that was what was waiting to happen. They have still been together since February of 2023, so they have been together for over a year, and they are both very happy together.

10 Tips for every Photographer
- don’t lose your passion – it is vitally important and will affect the outcome of your photos.
- lighting is everything – the amount of lighting is important as you need to adjust it to your setting to ensure your pictures come out nice.
- read the manual – self-explanatory, it helps.
- keep your camera on RAW mode – helps when editing, makes it easier to work with
- eyes are the prize – the eyes tell you everything you need to know about the background and setting, it shows thoughts, character and emotion.
- experiment and play – play around with the setting, shutter speed, aperture, ISO.
- learn by adjusting – if it doesn’t work the first time, adjust your settings.
- your profile is your portfolio – make it look nice and be a reflective image of you.
- live! – have fun while shooting, enjoy the experience.
- shoot first, buy stuff later – the image does not have to be perfect; you can edit it to your liking later.
Letter to Next year Photo students
The most memorable moments of my photography journey were definitely the portraits. It was so exciting to try and find someone that would love to see the eye color change. My thing was to take close up eye pictures and those that had brown eyes, I would change their eye color. It was pretty cool being able to do that. The first close up person did have colored eyes, so I didn’t have to do much editing, but those that didn’t it was nice to see the before and after’s. The best part of it all was learning how to use Photoshop and Lightroom. I came to find out I like using Photoshop more than Lightroom. The class might seem a little boring at the beginning learning all the camera settings and everything, but in the long run it is very enjoyable. This is a really easy class to pass, just keep up with your assignments, and if you turn one in late DONT forget to email it to Mrs. C, she will still take it because she wants us all to pass. I do recommend doing all one day shooting and then the other days you get to spend the time editing, and not edit in a rush. I also have a HUGE recommendation; do not take pictures with someone else, what I mean by that is don’t walk out of class to take pictures with someone else because personally from experience, people have stolen my picture and theirs makes it on the blog, so it makes you feel some type of way because it was your idea to take the picture a certain way and they take it. Overall, I really did enjoy this class, and I will do it again. It got me to take pictures outside of school as well, I’ve always had a camera but didn’t know fully how to fix the settings till I came to this class. It now finalized my decision on wanting to be a sports photographer.
