Well today we had to choose what we'll do. But the idea is that we have to have done research and the actual stuff done in two lessons. I wasn't 100% sure on what to do just yet so I did the research first. Also I didn't really have to time to catch up as much as I would want to because I had 2 science tests in a a week so i had to revise loads.

Hi Marek

You need to be writing about what you did in each sesion and reflecting on your progress!! this is important and you should have realised that by now!

' Believe '

I did some research on believe and I found this image, which looks useful to me, as I think I might even use this quote in my project. ( Believe in youself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle. - Christian D. Larson. )

The famous quote 'I believe up yo 6 impossible things before breakfast' . I like this quote and it also could become part of my final work.

Philippe Halsman

Life and work

Born to a Jewish family of Morduch (Max) Halsman, a dentist, and Ita Grintuch, a grammar school principal, in Riga, Halsman studied electrical engineering in Dresden.

In September 1928, Halsman went on a hiking tour in the Austrian Alps with his father, Morduch. During this tour, Morduch died from severe head injuries. The circumstances were never completely clarified and Halsman was sentenced to 4 years imprisonment for patricide. The case provoked anti-Jewish propaganda and thus gained international publicity, and Albert Einstein and Thomas Mann wrote in support of Halsman. Halsman was released in 1931, under the condition that he leave Austria for good, never to return.

In 1958 Halsman was listed in Popular Photography's "World's Ten Greatest Photographers", and in 1975 he received the Life Achievement in Photography Award from the American Society of Magazine Photographers. He also held numerous large exhibitions worldwide.

The image it self is appearing to be moving in all the ways. The cats seem to flying, so does the chair and the line of water. It works out together quite nicely although it makes you wonder how he took the picture. When I looked at it really closely I saw a hand on the far right corner of the picture. I also saw strings holding up the kittens.

On the picture we got given there was no hand and you couldn't see the strings. The hand had to be photo shop cos it can't just disappear, but I'm not entirely sure.

We then got to try out making our little 'moving' pictures but I haven't printed them out yet as they are saved on Charlie's account.

We've also been introduced into the project we're going to do. It's called 'Believe' and the basic Idea is that you have to make an 3d set up of the maximum of 24 pictures that will have a link to believe and will possibly tell a story. I had a go on thinking about what I could do and the first thing that came to mind was a story about a boy who sat alone thinking about her and wasn't brave enough to come over thinking that he has no chance with her. But one day he just thought, screw this and he came over. He found out that she liked me too but wasn't brave enough to come over and talk with him either. It would end with a happy end.

Although this is a good idea I don't think I will actually be able make it happen plus I don't even know what would exactly be on the images. But that is my idea.
