                   Tedtalk: How Photography Connects us



         Photography can be a way to show the world what they don't see. It shows a whole new perspective in the way that you look at things and interpret them.
          In the Tedtalk Ted explained how pictures aren't just taken to show the bad but they are also taken to show the good or the solutions to the bad. When photographers go out and take pictures of a animal or subject they don't come back with only pictures. They come back telling an amazing story. These amazing stories touch the hearts of readers all around the world. I liked that in the video Ted explained the meaning and the story behind every photograph. 
         Photography is changing faster than we think. Every moment is saved by a photo and every photo has a story to tell. Photography opens up the eye to what the world really is and can make a real connection to people.

  Meeting at 3:45 P.M. in the afternoon, the Centerville High School Student council got down to brass tacks at long last and decided this year's Senior Prom will be Friday, May 11.

    Tickets to the event began selling like hotcakes. Students rushed to purchase tickets, florist shops were inundated with corsage orders.

    The location for the prom was not known, but the council promised to hire extra policemen to be on duty in case anyone becomes inebriated. Businessmen also were to be approached and asked to support the prom with donations. 

    Also wanted by the council was a way to utilize student input in ascertaining which school personnel would attend as chaperones. Approximately five teachers are presently needed.

    Future plans made by the council call for the prom queen to receive a bouquet of flowers exactly at the hour of midnight. 

    After a heated argument in the council meeting, members exhibited the milk of human kindness by pronouncing the dispute dead as a door nail. 

    On the level of basic fundamentals, council members set aside a large number of issues to be merged together at the next meeting. Qualified experts will be called in as consultants and past records studied carefully for the purpose of finding important essentials.
    Council members voted unanimously 14-0 to ask a Jewish rabbi to offer the invocation.

    "I'm glad this issue is settled," sighed President Sally Smith.

    "Me, too," stated the vice president, Chang Lee.

    "You can say that again," laughed a new freshman whose appellation was unknown.
