Photography isn’t just being able to take a pretty picture. There are a lot of factors to think about when it comes to taking a picture. The most important thing to me when it comes to photography is when a picture tells a story. One photographer that I think tells amazing stories through her photographs is Margaret Bourke-White. Margaret was a photographer in the 1920’s. When Margaret was in college she did not dream about being a photographer she dreamed about being a Herpetologist. She once…

Perplexing Coding This picture symbolizes my AP Computer Science class because in this class, I had to come up with different types of codes, like the one shown, to write and format. I chose this image because once I entered this class I knew that coding was exactly what it appeared to be. Complicated.
