Ask Alice

After reading a photography book, I went out and took some photos. I have been studying other people's photos as well, and I tried to apply what I learned towards these new photos. Can you please give me some critique? What do I need to improve on?

Thanks!!!

I am going to Barnes and Noble tomorrow and I want to buy some books so I can learn more about photography. Any suggestions?

Also, what do you think of my photos and what can I do to improve?

Thanks!!!!!!!

Well I have asked this question before, and I got some very good, constructive criticism. Some of it was harsh, but it helped. I have corrected some of my mistakes, and I took some more photos that I would like critique on. I am only 13, and I am working on getting better. I am going to apprentice this summer for a local photographer, but I want to practice as much as I can before then. I have absolutely no experience whatsoever, but I really want some critique so that I can improve my work and get better at it. Tell me what you think please!

Thank you and I really appreciate it! God bless you all!

Well, I was talking with my friends the other day about what we wanted to do when we grew up. I thought maybe I could be a photographer, but I want to learn more about it. I am going to be an apprentice this summer to a local professional photographer, but the summer is so long away right now, and I would really love to be able to learn more about photography before then. I have tried searching the Internet for a helpful site, but I haven't really been able to find anything yet. Everyone who has seen my work, well, they all really love it! I think I am actually pretty good, but I really would like to get better at this! If you could, please give me any helpful tips or suggestions, or recommend a site that I could visit. Thanks in advance!

Ok, so I am opening up my own business, and I really need a name! I will be selling tutus, feather headbands and hair clips, necklaces, and some clothes. I will be making everything I sell in my store on my own. It's not necessarily for little girls, but for preteen age girls, although the tutus will be offered in a size that little girls could wear. I want something kind of vintage and classic (For my logo, I am thinking black and white with lots of swirls and maybe the silhouette of a bird) so I don't want anything too girly.

Also, if you know anything in another language that might sound nice (Maybe in French or something).

Thank you!!!!

So there was this guy i liked and he really liked me back, but when he asked me if i liked him, i denied it and said i didn't, and i just wanted to be friends. HUGE mistake. We still talk all the time---he is like my best friend now, except for that fact that i am in love with him now. He told me the other day that he was going to ask out my friend, who he has never even met before!!!! He talked to her on Facebook one time, and now he wants to ask her out. But then after that, he said he PROMISED he would always be there for me, no matter what, and that he thinks I am beautiful.

I don't want to give him up--- I love him, but I just don't know if he likes me anymore, let alone LOVES me.

Please tell me what I can do! I already tried "hinting" that i liked him, but he just doesn't seem to notice. He is getting a phone (finally!) and he even promised that my number would be the first one in his phone, and that if it was alright, he would text me all the time.

Please, just tell me what I need to do! I am so confused!

So i have a bruise on my spine that is about 4 inches long and on the middle of my spine. Nothing hurts or anything, but my friend just noticed it when i was wearing my swimsuit the other day. I know it isn't scholiosis because i just got tested for that. i do play volleyball and do dance, so would it possilbly be from stretching or some dance move i did that could cause that? also, i didn't fall or anything so it isn't from that. please help as soon as possible. also don't tell me to go to my doctor cause i just did. i am just wondering what it could be from
