Camera settings:
Camera mode: P mode
Elements:
Line: the cracks on the tree act to draw the attention of the viewer towards the tree and emphasising the tree as being weak, so it looks like it needs the wires support more.
Texture: the bark appears cracked, broken and torn giving it the appearance of being old and weak.
Principles:
Unity: the photo has other trees in the background but they are far enough away that it seems as though the tree is standing by itself, so it needs the support of the wire.
Depth of field: The background of the photo is blurred and out of focus making the primary tree stand out more so it seem more by itself.
Contrast: The tree has dark spots that draw the attention of the viewer away from the background of the photo.
Lighting:
The lighting comes in from the side so that it emphasizes the texture and lines on the trees bark, the shadows created by the lighting increase the contrast of the photo
Post Production:
Contrast: the contrast increased the emphasis on the tree and made the shadows and lines stand out more
Saturation: the saturation emphasizes some colour in the tree making it appear more defined
Critique:
Strengths:
-the lighting helps to emphasize the trees texture really well.
-the photos depth of field was executed well to make the tree stand out more in the frame
Area that needs improvement:
-the wire could have followed the rule of thirds a bit better.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy began his first visit to Iceland with a meeting with the country’s Prime Minister, Bjarni Benediktsson.
The President expressed his gratitude to Iceland and all partner nations in Northern Europe for supporting Ukraine from the very first days of the full-scale Russian invasion.
“We are defending our lives, our homes, and our children every day. But this would not be possible without your strong support, the support of every partner. We are very grateful, but today we must be even stronger to stop Putin. This is what I want to discuss with our partners, with all allies. We have a Victory Plan, and we seek real support for it,” the President emphasized.
During the meeting, Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke about the situation on the battlefield and Ukraine’s progress in producing unmanned systems.
He called on Iceland to invest in Ukrainian production of munitions, long-range drones, missiles, and other weaponry, and to join the Coalition of Shelters initiated by Ukraine and Finland.
Additionally, the President provided information on North Korean military involvement in Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, as evidenced by intelligence data, and on Russia’s use of North Korean and Iranian weapons. Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed the importance of a decisive international response in light of these developments.
The Head of State also thanked Iceland for supporting our country on the path to NATO.
The President emphasized that inviting Ukraine to join the Alliance is the first point of the Victory Plan, as it is the only guarantee of lasting peace.

April 13, 2016. Boston, MA.
Governor Charlie Baker’s speech to LGBT executives and activists at the 10th Annual Boston Spirit LGBT Executive Networking Night, hosted by Boston Spirit magazine was met with a chorus of boos after he refused to voice support for a bill to prevent bias against transgender people in public spaces. His reluctance to take a stand on the bill was met with chants of “sign the bill” before he abruptly walked off stage about twenty minutes into his remarks. The event’s organizers had said Baker would mingle with the crowd after his speech, but he left without meeting with the attendees. Many people expressed disappointment in the Governor Baker’s unwillingness to support the public accommodations bill which would prohibit bias against transgender people in restaurants, shopping malls, and other public areas.

Volunteers in action on our "Build-a-Home" project in the Philippines.
Take a look at volunteers in action on our "Build-a-Home" project in the Philippines. The family consists of a mother and father and their 6 children who previously lived in a delapidated, one-room, bamboo shack. Their house could not adequately withstand the tropical weather such as heavy rains and typhoons which can occur sometimes in the Philippines. Their new house is sturdy and secure and provides the family with the protection they need from the elements.

New York Runners in Support of Staten Island
About: Group of New York area runners who are running and delivering aid on Sunday morning in Staten Island. #SupportStatenIsland
Mission: I am a sports medicine doctor and avid runner and triathlete. Saddened by the events of hurricane Sandy, I decided to help form a group of likeminded runners who are interested in helping others in need.The idea is to run in Staten Island and use our legs to help distribute food and products to those who need help the most.
Description
Now that the NYC marathon is cancelled, let’s put these legs and healthy spirit to good use! We are organizing an impromptu group of NYC marathon runners (and friends) to head over to Staten Island to run and distribute food and helpful items. All levels welcome!

Wonder Bread is no longer available in Southern California which is too bad because it was my crack. Thankfully, an angel in a far away state sent me some! This fluffy white chemical bread and melty chocolate kisses have been keeping me alive- they are the only things not making my teeth hurt worse. Thank you, secret angel! :)
