Can't Stop Watching

Friends is a show about friendship to show that friendship is important in every persons life. My own experiences with friendship with my 24 years of life is similar to the outlook of the characters on the show. What I take away from my own experiences with friendship is to not take relationships for granted. I believe that close friendships help to keep people healthy. As a result I conclude that people show put more time and effort into the friendships they have. Here is the Friends website if you would like more information in this show: http://www2.warnerbros.com/friendstv/container.html Friends is one of the most popular television series of all time, it started on NBC in 1994 and did not stop making new episodes until 2004. One of the reasons I enjoy this show so much is because everyone can relate to a character or a situation that happens in the show. A list of the characters are as follows: Ross, Rachael, Joey, Phoebe, Monica and finally my favorite, Chandler. Through the last few years I have become more and more found of the show and have found myself purchasing all 10 seasons and watching episodes just to help me relax at the end of a hard day. This show is good for a good laugh at the end of the day or a good way to take up some free time on the weekend.

Photographers Inspired

With the quick snapshot of a photograph a person can see a far away city's, a magical sunrise, even an untouchable piece of nature. Just one photo can tell a story of a million years. Photographs are an amazing way for people to become familiar with things and ideas that would otherwise be unknown. By these means Ansel Adams is my favorite photographer.

Ansel Adams was a famous photographer from the early to mid 1900's. Many of his photographs were of nature scenery.

For example Yosemite and other national parks.

He was inspired by all parts of nature.

One of the many reasons I enjoy his

photography so much is because he

captures places and things that I normally would not be

able to see on my own. Many if not all of Adams photography were in black and white,

but it is not impossible to find a few in color. I believe that he did this so that people viewing his work would concentrate more on nature then at the colors in the photo.

Ansel Adams took amazing photos of snow covered mountains,

beautiful tall tress emerging from the earth,
as well as large puffy clouds soaring across the sky.
His photography takes me to another place.
His photos are so beautiful it is hard to believe they
are actual pictures and not designed
on a computer.
Through his photos Adams shows the beauty
of the world.
