2014 review

This photo interests me because of how symmetrical it is and the cool scheme. The photo quality is very shape. This photo kind of reminds me of the way the austin capital looks as well.

i like this photo mainly because of the depth of it. it is symmetrical and has a lot of nice colors. the quality of the photo is very good also.

this photo interests me because the perspective of it. it uses view point in a very good way. and also seeing this volcano from a different angle is real cool. this photo is pretty shape and has very good quality.

my favorite artist from this year is a kid named Bishop Nehru. he went on tour with has in 2014 and thats a legend in hip hop so i really feel that thats a big accomplishment and something big that was in 2014.

i really liked this movie called Night Crawler. the actor just played a great character and i really just feel his acting was just so good and he's defiantly what made the movie as good as it was. i think is was the best just cause all the obstacles he over came in the movie, the directing and actings was great and it was just a really good movie overall.

i think the most important news in 2014 was Ferguson, just cause i really feel like thats a serious issue. the abuse of power some officers are using is just bad and it is not leading in the right direction and thats why i think this is the most important new of 2014.

i wouldn't consider this the most important person of 2014 but i think this is the most important sports story of 2014 defiantly. i think the domestic abuse with ray rice was really big. and the reaso why i think its the most important story last year is cause it could prevent a lot more incidents like these from happening again.

during the winter break my cousin from Cali came of and stayed so we took him to all the nice places in Austin and thats what i really loved. i ate so much good food that i usually wouldn't eat just out of no where and now my dad says we might go to Cali for spring break to see some of my family over there and i think thats what I'm looking forward to about this year.
