1. No quotes
2. No quotes

4. Statement


Third:
1. The picture of the color guard
1A. It shows how hard they work and what they put together
2. The picture of the Whataburger employee
2A. It's boring and doesn't really have much to do with the story
3. I think photographing the JBHSOPE would have been fun because you get to go up close and watch their performance at the same time while getting to record memories from it.
4. I would rate the photography pretty good, but some pictures could probably have a better subject. A lot of them are just pictures of students working, which we see all the time. Like for the girl with the art, maybe they could've taken a picture of her holding up her art or something. Not just her working at a desk.
