Week 2 i thought i had decided on a topic which was"Is there enough funding in schools for disabled children".I did a bit of research on it looked at these websites: [] This website is talking about the statistics of disable children in schools and how the number of them has increrased and there struggle getting through school. [] This talks about the main issues with Special Education Needs (SEN) and how they can reach there full potential.

After researching i really thought about my topic an decided they i wasnt really driven to excel in researching, it took me a little while longer to really think about what i had a passion for, i love working with children i help out at the childcare center where my mum works an i would like to go to uni an study to be a junior primary teacher so i tried to come up with a topic related with this.

**Week 3** I was looking into making a series of childrens book an look into what really drives children to want to read books but for my wirkplace parctices class im focusing on children so i have moved on to my other passion which is photography.

This week we have been preparing for our discussion next week. i created an online survey through zoomerang which is an online tool my teacher put on his wikipage.
 * PREPOSAL **
 * Week 4 **

i spent this week surfing the internet to gather as much information as i can ready for the 10 MINUTE DISCUSSION.

My research project I focused on photography as both a science and an art. Photography lets us express how we are feeling, but to do this we need the scientific half of this. Unlike anyone doing some kind of art form, who is in strict contact with his/her subject and there canvas, where photographers are separated from their inspiration by the camera, there base by computers and printers but previously were used in dark rooms. Looking at a scientific way of photography can be a journey into another place, for some photographers it is that over a lifetime they try to master a scientific process that expresses them. Mastering photography there are two main elements of aspects to cover. ===

===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 19px; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">The final product is usually photographs that when you look at it you can’t see the feeling of the photograph. I read the opinion of **//Ansel Adams//** who said, “that there is nothing more boring that a technically perfect rendering of a fuzzy visual concept”. I think what he is trying to say is a photograph is made when they use there technique to express a feeling of some sort in the photo that people can relate to. There are so many articles written everyday about the all different techniques of photography. Writing about reviews on equipment, to processing image techniques, tips giving you advice on how to be a more efficient photographer, people telling their stories about what they found works and what doesn't, there is limitless information about this subject. There is nothing wrong with people helping out others in fact I have contribute my share of blogs for advice from other more experienced photographers and tips I have learnt and I will keep doing it. The scientific way of photography is about learning as much as you can and is worth taking the time to do if it is a passion of yours. ===

===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 19px; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Learning about the artistic way of photography is just as important as the scientific. There is a lot less information on photography as art on the internet and in books. There are much less discussions being made, less information, help and tips are available but not as much as some of us need. It is like photographers for the main part have discovered how much they have to learn about science of photography and confused and intrigued by the techniques and equipment. It may also be uncomfortable for photographers to writing about photography as art or not enough of the practice and knowledge to that. With the technology today the internet connects us in so many ways first by providing you with a way of help and information about many ways of photography, Second making use of the individuals persons/objects background.Ta great advantage for us because the internet can be constatly be updated and books cant. From day one I approached photography as a way to capture a feeling or explain to people what was going on with no words needed just a photograph. My little bit of training in year 9 and 10 of photography combined with me constantly practicing and knowledge of many artistic mediums provided me with a unique look on photography. ===

===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"> For example I try and make links between photography and other different types of art. I am not just someone who observes, I am a practitioner. I also collect art, I am an admirer. When I started research project I considered what the contents of this essay might be. The last thing I want to do was provide useless or phony information I find off the internet. First I did not know how or even if this could be done not knowing if some of my sources were reputable or even true. I’m not old and wise I don’t have years of experience in art and sciences of photography but I do have a passion for it, I collect aboriginal artefacts like boomerangs, didgeridoos, dot paintings, tribal clapping sticks that have mostly come from my grandparents trips to the northern territory that I love to photograph. As well as seeing the artefact an understanding it story I try to capture this in the photograph I take as well. ===
