Self Portrait vs. The selfie

1. What is a selfie?
2. What is a self portrait?
3. Is there a difference? If so, what?
4. What style do you prefer?
5. Is one more valuable/important than the other? Why?

The selfie is a picture taken by yourself and you are the main focus of the picture unless you have a group along in the picture. A self portrait is a picture of you but taken by someone else. The difference between both of them is who takes the photo. I don't prefer either one it depends on what camera i have, but self portrait looks better because typically for self portraits use a better quality camera. I believe self portrait is the most valuable/important because it looks more professional and can come out better quality.

Prompt 4

Phobias

1.) A phobia (from the Greek: meaning "fear" or "morbid fear") is, when used in the context of clinical psychology, a ape of anxiety disorder, usually defined as a persistent fear of an object or situation in which the sufferer commits to great lengths in avoiding, typically disproportional to the actual danger posed, often recognized as irrational.
2.) Acrophobia- Fear of Heights.
Chromophobia or Chromatophobia- Fear of colors.
Pyrophobia - Fear of fire.
Scolionophobia- Fear of school
Vitricophobia- Fear of step-father.

3.) For one photo i chose fear of heights. For that photo i could have someone stand on a high structure looking concerned. For another one i was thinking Fear of Colors and i can but a colorful picture in black and white. For the last one i chose fear of fire so i can have a fire and a group of people are trying to step it out.

4.)
Fear of fire
I will use rule of thirds of people stepping on fire.
Fear of colors
I will set it up as a self portrait of me wearing colorful clothes and then put a colorful background and save then put it as a black and white photo to sort of contradict itself.
Fear of heights
I will use rule of thirds of someone standing on a high structure.

Welcome back

This is my favorite photo because it reminds me of a house i own in a video game called GTA.
I really like how this picture doesnt have much going on but it still looks beautiful.

I love the contrast of the colors of the water and i really like the angle the photographer took this photo showing the split.
Best song of 2016
You was Right by Lil Uzi Vert

I chose this because this was my favorite one off the list out of all those songs. Also the Billboard top 100 was blocked for some reason so the competition was short. One of the main attractions to this song is the catchyness of it and the rappers voice sounds good on this song.
Best Movie of 2016
Deadpool

This was my favorite movies of 2016 because ive been waiting for this since it was confirmed in 2014 that it was being filmed. Also i didnt really see anything else in 2016 because nothing looked good to me. Deadpool was very funny in my opinion and had good action like in the comics.
Top News Story of 2016
Trump wins election
 
This was one of the biggest stories of 2016 because everyone went crazy about it wether it was good or bad. The election had many americans scared because they heard that Donald Trump was going to be a candidate. Me personally dont really care about politics but this was one of the biggest news stories because everyone was crazy about it.
The Most Important Person in 2016
Beyonce Knowles

I think Beyonce was the most important person of 2016 because i didnt like any of the other people on that list. Also it Beyonce how isnt she the most important person. She dropped an album this year that everyone loved and gave very good performances in 2016.
