SAME SONG SUNG

 When a song is recorded in a different format it usually ruins the quality of the song by compressing the audio. When audio gets compressed it loses a lot of information for example, the audio won't sound as clear and crisp since it's been changed once you start messing with the original audio file it automatically starts losing its quality causing instruments and voices to sound a bit muffled. I didn't know much about this until I recently discovered an app called tidal which let's you stream music in CD quality which means it's the closest thing to the original audio file, the difference is amazing when you compare tidal files to a normal compressed file in Spotify or Apple music. If you have good headphones or speakers with somewhat good wifi you will be able to stream music in master quality which makes everything sound so crisp and clear it's almost like if you were in the studio where they recorded the song.

Choropleth Map thoughts

 

I never knew the official name for these types of maps but I always enjoyed studying them since it makes everything so much easier. I mostly would see these maps in history maps since they are used to separate facts throughout different states and continents using colors or highlights.

A STRANGER IS JUST A FRIEND I HAVEN'T MET YET

 Today in class I met a new student named Cesar he's a pretty cool dude he was friendly which is a plus when meeting new people. We mostly just talked about what school he came from and what grade he was in other than that we just did work.

HOW I GET THINGS DONE

 I like to always plan ahead of everything that's including how my day will go. I'm a huge overthinker so I'm my brain is constantly working and thinking which allows me to rarely forget about things since they just keep playing in my head until I get them done.  I usually do all my blog work at night or in the afternoon since that's when I'm the most energetic also it's the time everything gets quiet which really allows me to concentrate especially on writing.  I usually focus on my blog work first then everything else, like I said I do everything in the afternoon so right after class I take some time to relax and clear my mind of the screen my going out for an hour or 2 then it's back to working and screen time.

BIG QUESTION

My big question was easy for me since it's the biggest question I've had since I got interested in photography which is 'How will I get into the professional world without any connections?" I know it won't be easy but I will figure it out as I go you never know what can happen or who you could meet, It always takes one person to change your life completely.

MY LEARNING BUFFET

 Investing, Real Estate, photography, and Pressure washing, all of these things that I'm interested in doing have something that can help one another. You see these topics are important to me because I can do all of them at the same time for example Photography is needed pretty much anywhere including Real estate, when property owners are trying to sell a property they always want to make it look nice and appealing but in order for that he will need good photos for online marketing which is where I come in I can offer my photography services to them which will at the same time help me get connections in the real estate world that can later on help me on my own properties and while I'm at it I can offer them pressure washing services too. If a driveway and roof are dirty it won't be as attractive compared to ones that are clean and well maintained. Some of the money I earn from these services will be invested into crypto and stocks which will help me double my money or even triple it. I make sure everything I want to do will help my other business grow because if it doesn't then there is no point in wasting money and time on it. And last but not least open up a ROTH IRA so I can at least have something to retire with in my 60s if all goes wrong but if not then it will be even more money for me to use.

A PICTURE IS WORTH 1000 WORDS

 

Osvaldos Graduation- Osvaldos father contacted me if I can photograph their graduation party I gladly accepted since it would be my first photoshoot with someone I didn't know. In this photo you see the band and some friend of theirs that were their singing, I didn't include the family because it would be a little disrespectful using their personal photo without their knowing.

LEARNING FEEDBACK

 I believe that my photos are amazing I always take so much time editing and making sure that nothing is wrong or overdone, but that doesn't mean I don't question my work at times. You see you can be confident in your work but there are going to be times that you second guess yourself 'Does this actually look good?" But then I remember the feedback I have received from my previous photos. I've had great photographers give me feedback on my photos which have really struck and kept me going. Something that has been told to me and that will always stick with me is "There will always be an audience out there that enjoys what you do you just have to go out there and find that audience".
