Throughout the past few months many students practiced for the multicultural week assembly, which they performed for on Friday April 17th.

MSJMC Week Story

I love Mission San Jose's multicultural week for several reasons. One is that it always does a good job of bringing together everyone. During multicultural week, everyone hangs around the horseshoe. Because so many people are involved in clubs, they often sell food there. As a result, their friends stay with them to keep them company. In addition people have to option to buy the fold sold by clubs, giving the underclassmen a chance to have food other than school lunches for a week. It's amazing to see so many of Mission's students gathered in one area, socializing and enjoying music as well as each other's company.

Shutter Speed and Everything After

NY Times photo
Partner: Aashna Shah

1. Fast, because although the trucks on the right side appear to be moving, their outlines appear to be distinct.

2. Aashna: Depth; Chris: Leading Lines

3. Lines, the highway lines as well as the metal barrier provide leading lines that show the audience the depth of the photo.

4. Movement, our eyes first notice the truck that has fallen down, then follow the highway lines and barrier divider back down, and then switch to the two upright trucks on the right.

Shutter speed: 1/1500
