My favorite picture in the whole paper was the soccer picture on page 11. Because it showed what kind of talent we have at Bowie and showed how they play. It was a really neat picture taken showing off our player at Bowie. It was very clear to show people that they should being going to the games this season.
My least favorite picture was the picture of the Starlight Theatre Company. This my least favorite because it didn't show the students very clearly. It showed the ones in the front and then blurred out the ones in the back as if they didn't mater as much. It would have been better if the made of the students clear to us.

If I were a photographer on staff, I would have wanted the picture of the soccer game. This would have been fun because I could have had so many picture options to take of the game going on. Also I would have gone and watched the game and I love to go see the soccer game and see all the players.

Well overall the photography was pretty good. It was about a 7 out of 10. The sports pictures were really good. But the in class picture could have been improved. Even the weaker pictures still were okay but could have been better.

I good topic for the newspaper could be the new parking spots that seniors can receive and the new absences and finals that are now coming into play. They could talk about how the if you have a certain absences the final won't hurt your grade. For a person to interview, you could think about talking to the leading rolls in the musical.
