Welcome to the New Term

 Welcome to the New Term 2021! A new term with goals, research and explore . 

I would like to begin with this blog post which will contain a research about a person that I inspired. 

During Lockdown I was trying to find a good photographer because on of my hobbies is to take pictuures of places and the peoples.

In addition, the course that I want to study is Journalism. On this course I believe that I have to took some photos for some articles that I hope that I will write in the future.

The one of the most good photographer that I found was:

Ansel Adams


Ansel Adams was born in San Francisco, California on 20 of February. He is a photographer and environmentalist. All of his pictures are black and white at the parks in USA and at landscapes. He is one of the most important photographer in the 20 century.


One of his pictures :


Ansel Adams claims some quotes anout the photos. The quotes below are three of them that I like a lot:

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”

“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”

“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.”

In addition, Ansel Adams wrote some books with the topic the photos. The names of three of his books are: 1. The Camera, 2. The Negative and 3. The Print.

Below, you can see a page of his books:

This is a link that you can see a video for Ansel Adams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=gvSXVFEFSfQ

These are some of my favorite pictures who he took:

Yosemite Valley Bridge, Focus On: Ansel Adams, Picture's link

The reason that I admire Ansel's job is that he took very brilliant photos, and also, he knew how to make the colours, black and white look so good. Furthermore, I like how much he loved his job because, in my opinion is very important to do something that you like. If you do something that you like then, you will have better results of your goals. The most significant point of his career that I admire are the quotes who said! His quotes inspire me, because his words have feelings! I like his way of thinking!

This interview will contain at least 10 questions and  this will definitely be written as an article, which we see in a magazine.

Portfolio websites

I found some portfolio websites to help me for mine. 1. Christina Vanessa Christina is Graphic designer and visual communicator and she has an eye for aesthetics. Her first page on her portfolio website is a simple expression of her creative work and personality. There’s a fullscreen looped video showcasing her best pieces, with her name and disciplines written above. Following this promising introduction, Christina’s ‘Explore’ page is just as impressive, incorporating multiple design features . From the works themselves to the layered blocks that make up the page’s layout, the website’s color scheme is cohesive and neutral. The soft shades of cream, beige and gray craft a serene atmosphere, further reinforced by the smooth animations. On her website there are two pages. The first one is the explore and the second one is the about me page. On her about me page, she put information for herself and contact details. This page I make it too and I wrote information for myself. On the next...

Research post for an idea

Psychological impact of the COVID-19 Is the covid-19 affecting our mental health? The results of Covid-19is the heightened anxiety, with immediate effects on our mental health. There are  fears of contagion lead us to become more conformist and tribalistic, and less accepting of eccentricity. In addition, the every day reminders of the sick maybe even sway our political affiliations. Moreover, this sickness can affect our mental health because we stayed home and we cannot do anything.  The changes about meetings with psychologists: In my opinion everyone need face to face sessions with psychology because, all we have some problems to discuss. Since covid came in our lives  , allied health professionals such as psychologists were not deemed "essential services." This meant that psychologists were not allowed to see people at their office face-to-face and all sessions had to be shifted through phones. This was different and difficult for everyone. I could say...
