eng lab most memorable image

I have seen a lot of thing that have caught my attention through out my life, but i can say that the one that just impressed me the most were the Pyramids of Egypt. It is hard to believe that they were built by men, considering their enormous size and their perfection. Being standing next to them made me realize how men working together can accomplish anything that they propose to. People from all over the world go to see them, and all of them have the same feeling about them, they are just something amazing, something that you don't see everyday and that will be hard or even impossible to replace or built something similar. The most interesting part is that they were built so many years ago, when the technology that we have nowadays didn't exist at all, and when men had to do it everything with their hands and using just their intelligence. The image of these Pyramids is something that is going to stay in my mind for the rest of my life.

eng lab III, photography

Photography

You do not have to been an expert or qualified photographer to take great pictures. All you need is your camera, of any kind, and an imagination. Sometimes, you do not even need a purpose when taking photographs. Some of the best photography is random because no expectations were put on any one specific picture. One of the neatest facts is that photography has been around for many years. They provide proof and evidence of the people living in the past, especially of relatives, loved ones, and of course, people who have made a difference in the world. We would all like to remember the people of importance somehow, and memory is not always reliable On the other hand, photographs will always paint a mental picture of that specific person. Photography is a fascinating way of portraying language and personal views without providing any words or oral documentation.
Have you ever heard the expression, pictures are worth a thousand words? Well, this famous expression is true to the core. One of the most emotional, intriguing photographs, in my opinion, is pictures of sufferers from other countries. The photographs of young children dying from thirst, hunger, or infectious illnesses affect me in such a way, that I feel my heart wanting to reach out to these children. Their eyes portray the sadness no other human being can exhibit, and their emaciated bodies need no explanation as to what is occurring. On a different note, nature photography, help the human mind visualize and appreciate Mother Earth, without any informative words being spoken. People can travel the world in their own or other people’s pictures. It’s as if they are explorers right at home, flipping through pages in National Geographic. The next time, you are in the mood to express to others your view of the world, just grab you camera, and start snapping away.

Martin Luther King's letter

I found the letter really convincent. His primary goal was to bring the country together again, and get rid of segregation of black people. The fact that he was in jail when we wrote the letter gives him a lot more credibility, because he is actually living the situation that he is trying to defend, and by giving some examples he makes it easier for people to understand his point of view and prove why he is right. I like the way he talks about the church, because even though he thinks that church is acting in a wrong way, he still says that he loves it, and that he still has some hope that it can change the way it is acting. I think it's a really insipirational example of how you need to stay with what you believe it's right, even if you have to suffer the consequences of doing it.
