At the Westboro Baptist Church counter-protest outside of CHS last monday, an anonymous picketer holds up a sign reading, "Live and Let Love". Organized by the GSA, students from other schools, alumni, neighbors, friends, and many others came to peacefully and eloquently voice their support of equality, love, and hope: promoting a spirit of solidarity among the community.

This photo was taken in Forest Park near Art Hill. It was a sunny and clear day, perfect for taking pictures! I like this photo because there is a lot of repetition and shadows that make the photo unique. Photo by Dana Schwartz

This is a photo of the new 9/11 memorial in New York City. This memorial displays the two imprints of the twin towers and displays the names of those who died on 9/11. It is a vast and magnificent memorial.

Newseum Review

Peter Baugh — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:11:27 +0000

In Washington D.C. one of the world’s most intriguing museums stands at 555 Pennsylvania Ave. From eight 12-foot tall chunks of the Berlin Wall, to the lunch counter where civil rights sit-ins began, the Newseum takes visitors through the history of news.

The Newseum offers rare items that can’t be found anywhere else, just like every museum does, but what separates a standard museum from the great ones, is how they display and explain their artifacts. The Newseum does this expertly.

The glass building has six floors. On the fourth, there is a slab of bent up metal: the metal radio tower initially placed on one of the two World Trade Centers. The walls around it are layered in newspapers from around the world featuring the breaking news of the terrorist attacks in a memorial to the victims.

Around the corner from the jaw dropping memorial is a small theatre continually playing an 11 minute film. It showcases the reporters and photographer’s experiences during the attacks. The film brings to life the jarring events of the fateful day.

Dark exhibits like these may not be the best for younger children, but don’t worry, the youngsters will still have plenty to do.

They can look at lighter topics, such as photography exhibits or a section on past president’s dogs. There also is an interactive newsroom where visitors can play reporter, recording themselves announcing breaking news.

Outside the museum, there are covers of the day’s newspaper from different cities worldwide. Anyone who is strolling by the Newseum can take a peak at these, and they are often very interesting.

Right off of the national mall, the Newseum takes viewers through not only our nations history, but the worlds. It shows people what impacts the media played in how events, such as 9/11 and the Berlin Wall, were covered. One of the top Smithsonian museums in Washington D.C., the Newseum is a must see for anyone in the area.

This photo was taken over winter break of my friend starting a game of billiards. This was the final round to see who would win the game. I really enjoyed shooting this subject because the lighting was different and there was a lot of color. Photo by Dana Schwartz
