Best Picture
I took this picture from our flight when we were about to land in San Francisco. I edited it by making it black and white, and I also added some contrast to make the bridge stand out more.

Multicultural Week
There isn't a greater show of ethnic diversity than multicultural week held at Mission annually during the month of April. The campus becomes vibrant with colors of countries worldwide and everyone is representing their own culture. It is wonderful to see everyone become excited and look forward to this week since fall. The atmosphere of the campus changes drastically and the air is filled with aromatic smells. The food served by all the clubs is one of the most anticipated events during MC week. The students rush when the lunch bell rings and everyone gets in line to get food like Chipotle and Krispy Kreme. This is a great way of raising funds and making money for the clubs and classes on campus. This year there is a new ticketing system where students buy tickets instead of using actual money in order to prevent clubs from losing any money. Lunch time is a bustle of activity as everyone walks around with their friends trying food from a broad range of cultures. Some of the food include samosas, pho, milk tea, and falafels. This occurs in the first four days of the week and finally Friday rolls around. The most exciting and enthralling assembly takes place on the last day of MC week. There are dance performances from different ethnic backgrounds and it is a joy to watch all the various traditions and customs showcased under one roof in the Gym. Some of my favorite performances include Bollywood, Raas and Garba, Hip-Hop, and Senior Bhangra. There are all very upbeat and energetic. Overall, multicultural week at Mission is one of the few things about Mission that will always stand out to me and bring back warm memories.

Shutter Speed and Everything After
Individual (Absent)
Lens Blog
1. Fast shutter speed as the other two vehicles in the picture are a bit blurry.
2. A clearly visible rule of composition in this photo is leading lines as they stretch perfectly from end to end.
3. Elements of Art: Lines following the highway sides and the metal barrier create straight lines that stretch into the picture creating a sense of depth and this gives the audience a new dimension to view the picture in.
4. Principle of Design: Balance is shown in this picture as there is an equal division of elements. The divider in the center of the road is the median line that separates both the halves of the photos. The knocked over van also adds an eerie sense of conformity to the picture's other elements.
