1A. Why is this your favorite? I liked the position that was captured while Moreno was recording
1B. What rules of photo composition are evident? Rule of thirds
2. What is your least favorite photo in the entire paper? The picture under the title School wide Science fair competition held
2A. Why is this your least favorite? I just didn't really like the sort of blurriness in the picture, and that there were other people in the picture
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 would've liked to do the Girl Scout cookies because I really like their cookies, and to research what types of cookies have been added to the list.
4. Overall, how would you rate the photography in this issue? What were the strong points and weak points.

The titles were pretty good, but the photography was, to be honest, not very good. They weren't clear, or followed the rules of photography. All around, the issue was so so.
