Best of 2014 -1/6/15-

I like this photo because of the contrast, the background is dull and brown and the blankets are a dull dirty green, but the little girl has bright hair and eyes. 

I like this one because of the amazing timing involved. Lighting strikes are fast and two at once is rare. I also like the  comparison of the light of the city and the light of the sky.

This photo caught my eye because of the bright colors and the joyful mood of the photo. I also really like the timing in catching the hats mid-air.

The best song of 2014 was "All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainer. I liked it because it spread a powerful message that you can be beautiful without fitting in with society's conception of 'beauty'.

The best movie of 2014 was "The Imitation Game." It was a very interesting film about an under-appreciated genius who saved thousands of lives. It also addresses issues on homosexuality.

The most important or widespread new story of 2014 was the Ebola virus, it sent some people into a panic and became the thing everyone was talking about. I think I can safely say that Ebola was the story that spread the fastest and furthest.

The most important person of 2014 was Malala Yousafzai. The 17 year old won a Nobel peace prize for telling her story and pushing for female education.

The most important entertainment person of 2014 is Robin Williams. When Robin Williams died the world lost an entertainer that had been making us laugh since the mid seventies. As evidence by he being the fastest growing search term of 2014 he impacted millions of lives and will never be replaced.

Something I will remember from the break is my kittens. I got them a few days before christmas and they were my 'santa' gift.
