This is a picture of our media center parapro, Peggy, as I always see her. Since we spend the majority of or working days together, we know how we think and how we may react in situations. I have known her for eight years. Peggy and I have become very close during my years of working as a media specialist. Peggy is very creative with her ideas keeping our media center program fun and exciting. Peggy likes to have a hand in everything, and will go along with just about anything I say, even taking this picture! All of the teachers and students like Peggy because she is sincere and dedicated always helping with a smile. You can tell by this picture that she is a pleasant person because she gleams inside and out. I don’t know what I would do without her.

(45-50 pts.) || 80 – 89% (40 - 44 pts.) || <80% (<40 pts.) || This is a portrait of our media center para-professional. I captured Peggy as I always see her, very soft with a soft heart, and soft smile. Peggy is pleasant having kind words to say to the teachers and the students. Although, one teacher told me that "Peggy can be snappy when aggravated." We all have our moments. Overall, what you see here, is what you actually get; a kind person with a kind heart.

This photograph was edited in photo shop. I used a background layer and a frame to enhance the portrait. This was not easy for me to do initially. However, using the help tutorials and trail and error, led me to the right path and I produced the final product. I could not edit Peggy's hair, it seems to have a blue hue on the side which is the color of the original background. I know the more I work with photo shop, I will get the hang of editing and special effects.

Student name: Lucretia Turner Type of evaluation (peer) Include name of peer: Cathy Carpenter I think that the position of the subject is a good balance in the photograph. The colors work well together and you create a nice portrait. I would have liked to see a little more personality and evidence that she is the creative and exciting person that you know. It just needs a little more creativity to get away from the traditional portrait to a more personal one. I think you did very well on the shadows and not having any glare off the glasses. That is something you always have to think about, especially if the person is a glasses wearer because they often feel like they have to take their glasses off to get a good picture, and then that isn't really "them". I honestly didn't notice the blue hair until you said something; I thought she was just having some gray issue! (kids can do that to you at school) After reading your comments, I really wanted to see her eyes sparkle or twinkle and almost wanted you to put one in with Photoshop and though it might seem a little hokey, I think it would tell me a little more about her personality. It would help to put the tags on the page as well because the photo tags disappear when you go into edit mode.
