Fire. Brennan aims at his target, a foam deer, from 30 yards away.

Brennan shows expert form after having been hunting for five years. Brennan says, "The range is pretty empty right now. Most people come in August to prepare for elk season in September."

Brennan relaxes as he looks out at the beautiful forest. Silven's range is ____ miles, with a mixture of ranges in the forest and out in an open field.

Brennan gives us a good look at his bow as he shows how to properly handle it. Brennan explained, "With bows you have to be very careful. If you accidentally touch the string with the arrow the bow will explode and you can die. If the arrow is weak it can break when leaving the bow and kill you. You need to always know what you are doing."

Brennan practices underneath the beautiful Oregon trees.

Mormon Prom!

Junior Madelyn R starts getting ready for tonight's big event, Mormon Prom. Every year the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, better known as Mormons, host a prom where teenagers can come and have a fun night with people of their own standards.

David W's mom comes to take pictures of him and his date. David and Shayla, his date, are planning on attending the High Schools prom also, along with many others who go to both.

Smile. The couples have a great time joking around and having fun. Mormon prom is more relaxed as many of the couples just go as friends. David W plays with Shayla's hair as he gives her an affectionate hug. Mormon Prom is a little more casual than the usual prom but people still enjoy it just as much.David W and Collin C talk off to the side as the girls sit and chat with the moms for what seems like forever. They are ready to get going and head off to the dance. Lets roll. The group gets ready to head out to a dinner at 5 guys burgers and fries and then head off to the dance. As the group walks into the the Church's extravagantly decorated gym, they get a free group picture and then get to walk down the isleway and down the castle stairs. The group has a great time spending the dance with others, who like them have the same standards in dress, dancing, and music. Dancing the traditional way, teens enjoy slow dancing with their dates. At dances it is an "unstated" rule that the girl can never say no when a guy asks her to dance, giving you an opportunity to meet many new people. Party! Everyone enjoys the fun atmosphere as they spend the night with youth of their same standards. The church provides a dance once a month for teens to come hang out with their friends and just have a good time.

Henri Cartier-Bresson Photo

I love this picutre because i like the simplisity of it. I love how little and adorable kids are when they are younger. There are a lot of different ways you could look at this picture. They could be best friends who spend every moment together and when they grow up they realize they love each other and get married or they could be brother and sister and something awful happens and they have to relay on each other. I just feel like this picutre is like the first chapter of a story and you get to make up the rest. idk i think its a cute simple picture
