Summary of what I read in Fable Haven

Hi Guys!

I started to read fable haven,

Here is a summary of what I read:

Kendra and Seth's parents are making them stay with their reclusive grandparents while they go on a cruise. Grandma is absent, and  they learn that there are a lot of rules. They aren't allowed to go in the forest, and must stay in the house or barn. 

Seth, like a typical boy, decides to go into the forest when he gets a chance and meets an old woman who seems like a witch. Kendra ends up unlocking a journal that has the hidden message" Drink the milk" with three little keys her grandfather gave her. When the kids drink the milk that's placed around the gardens, they can suddenly see that all the insects (like dragonflies) are actually fairies.

Grandpa has a serious conversation with the kids about how the land is a preserve for magic creatures called Fablehaven. Now that they know what is going on, they get to meet a fairy trapper, Maddox, and a golem (a magical construct that obeys orders), Hugo—and it turns out that the housekeeper, Lena, is a former naiad. Seth is then  transformed into a creature because the fairies have a conflict with him and Grandpa must ask a favor of the witch, Muriel, to undo the curse. This leaves Muriel bound by only one knot, which is bad news.

 I stopped on a cliffhanger.

Summary

Hi everyone!
I'm still reading The Art of Photography  and today it talks about the difference between simplicity and complexity. Art mirrors society, and society is very complex, so many would say that the photos should be complex. They, in fact, could be if it is your approach and point of view. The author says that he personally doesn't take complex pictures. Anything complex should possess an inherent simplicity that should be shown in the photograph. When you keep things simple, or pull out what's simple, the effect comes through.
That's a summary of what I read today.

Summary of what I read

Today I started a new book called The Art of Photography because, for genius hour, I wanted to learn how to take good pictures the correct way.
The first chapter, "an approach to personal expression", talks about how photography is a form of non-verbal communication. It mentions artists, singers, dancers, and says that photography was granted it's spot on the list as a language most can understand. The word photograph has a much deeper meaning than it's usage. "The photograph says it all; nothing else is needed."
A photograph should raise questions, tell a story, or remain mysterious. Also, the beauty is its realism which makes it apart from all other art forms. The first step is to find out what interests you have and what methods you will use to express yourself.
The section ends here and leaves a good impression on me to want to keep reading.  I assume the book will start to explain what methods are used to generally create good photography.
