Computer viruses are programs that can replicate themselves and affect the software in your computer. These are usually spying programs or hacking programs. There are different types of viruses. One is the worm, that exploits security. This is different than computer viruses is because this does not need to attach itself to any program.

This is my first edit of photo! ( before)

 After

In this page, you can do many photo effects! I have to learn how to use it but im sure it is much easier that Photoshop!
Next class I will start to manipulate colors of other types of pictures like landscapes etc.

1. I will learn how to use instagram and what it has to offer.
In this video you can see how to use instagram. It takes you step y step on the process of the filters etc.

2. I will watch an i Photo tutorial on how to use it and its tools. This way I can learn how to use it in depth
This tutorial is not professional, though it does show you how to use everything on how to edit your picture in iPhoto. I already knew how to do all of it, though this might be a good way for other people to learn how to use it.

3. I will research some more on some more professional editing programs.
This is a Photo Shop tutorial were they teach you how to saturate the backgroud of the picture and make it look more vivid. I think this is basic but it is a lot better than iPhoto; you have many options to change the density of the base of the pic etc.

In this link, a different Photoshop program is used. The tutorial is well done, and I can clearly see the steps on how to change or manipulate the background color. Though, I think this process might be to long to follow, and I will have to experiment a lot on how to change all the pictures colors.

 In this webpage, you can learn how to use Photoshop, and it has expensive videos on how to manipulate color in pictures. I think this is going to be my basic learning source on how to use Photoshop

What I want to learn: Photo editing

I want to do my project of Photo Editing because I have always wanted to learn it. I love photography and I want to make my pictures better. What I want to master is to manipulate the colors. There is something like this in iPhoto, though I want to dig deeper and see what I can do to make the picture look really vivid and professional. According to Wikipedia, photo editing is, "Image editing encompasses the processes of altering images, whether they be digital photographs, traditional analog photographs, or illustrations. Traditional analog image editing is known as photo retouching, using tools such as an airbrush to modify photographs, or editing illustrations with any traditional art medium."
This is the main idea of my topic, altering the image's color to make it more attractive and realistic.


What am I going to present

The way I am going to present this is by doing a web page, or a video. Maybe I will explain how to do this in a video: make a lesson on how to manipulate the colors, so that other people can see the process and do it themselves. On the other hand, I think I might do a web page on blogger showing and explaining my progress on what I have learned untill that point and what worked and what did not. This will give me, as well as the viewer, many different ideas and knowledge about the topic. Some of my edited images will be done on iPhoto, and then I will change to something more professional and see the difference; which one is better and how the photo improved.

Look Now

Look Now: Is this a comic? Why? Why not? 

This is a part of a comic ( picture of forever alone), but it is no exaclty a comic. A comic has to have a sequence of drawings and this is just one forever alone. This drawing could be, but in a comic, but for this you need a story, and this pic does not.

The Fatal Eye

BY: DANIELA CEPEDA

Outer-Self to Wold Connections

In this part of the tablets of Gilgamesh, I made some questions. Gilgamesh lives in grief after Endiku´s death. 
" I thrive for the death of Endiku the companion, he who has fought with lions and with wolves", pg 56. 
He stays with the body until worms start eating it up. Then he leaves, because he fears that his fate will be the same as his companions. The king tries to find the answer: how to escape death. 
""Must I die too? Must Gilgamesh be like that?", pg 56. 
He goes search for the only person who has ever done this, Utnapishtim. He travels a long journey, always thinking about Endiku. 

At this point, I thought: Why does Gilgamesh do this journey, caused by the loss of his friend, escaping death? 
If death is the taker of his companion, why does he seek to escape it so much? 
If he really wanted to see his brother, why not die and be closer to him in another world?

If Gilgamesh really loved his companion as much as he said he did, why live a life without him, in grief?

I think that Gilgamesh didn't love Endiku, he liked the idea of liking someone more than he loved himself.
