H20 Project

What are you discovering so far?:
Well I discovered a new interest for photographic arts which further cements my once previous interest in the digital arts. I did not know anything about "the rule of thirds" or "eyes, color, fill the frame." I also did not realize how some San Diego beaches can be quite contaminated several times of the year or the perpetually gross De Anza cove. Through fellow student Diana Barlow I realized that the children's pool in La Jolla cove was originally meant for children. I can only imagine seals and humans fighting for there place for the beach...Except not really.

What surprises you about this project?:
Well I think out of everything I discovered I am most surprised about the water quality of some of the beaches and how often some beaches are closed due to high bacteria levels within the water. In biology class I had to go and look at longest closed beaches in San Diego County and I was pretty surprised.

What are your next steps to have a cool product and a great piece of writing?
Well I plan on taking beautiful high resolution photographs and having great bits of writing to accompany each photo. Within the photo I will not only include my opinion of the matter but scientific facts about things such as the biology of Garibaldi, characteristics of kelp forests, and the surrounding water quality.
