Statement
Commentary: Gas prices hiding the reality
There have recently been lower gas prices but there is a reason to that. Fracking is booming in the US but the effects are pretty scary. Frakcing contaminates ground water, pollutes air, and can wreck landscapes. Another reason iso that large vehicle sales are on the rise as the gas lessens. The cheap prices can endanger the oil companies also.
- Car drivers, oil companies, and car companies
- The gas prices are low at the moment.
- January
- In the US.
- The oil companies have lowered them.
- They are tracking and this is less money than how they get oil usually.
Edward Chow was quoted in the story.
"The problem is that countries get accustomed to a certain level of income and then spend."
It was interesting because they hook you about the chance of hidden reasons behind the low prices.

Viewpoint is really evident through the photo.
2. What is your least favorite photo in the entire paper?
1B. What rules of photo composition are evident?
Viewpoint is really evident through the photo.
2. What is your least favorite photo in the entire paper?
Probably the "Dark scene" photo in the whole production of Evita article. 2A. Why is this your least favorite?
Probably because it is not a very good photo and it focuses in on DJ but it doesn't go well with the photo that they chose and it just isn't really appealing.
3. If you were a photographer on staff, which event/photo assignment would you have liked to do for this issue? You will need to look through the entire paper and see the topics covered and decide which one you think would have been fun.
I really think the musical would really be fun to take pictures of because there are so many elements to it. You take pictures during the musical, before and even after sometimes and you can get some really good shots.
4. Overall, how would you rate the photography in this issue? What were the strong points and weak points.

I would rate the photography a 4 out of 5 for this issue. There were some strong photos for the farm show pictures and there were some great ones for Evita and science fair! There were a few photos that aren't very appealing and not very clear so that was probably the weak point.
