Chug Interviews

Gesher decided to interview Chug Hip-Hop and Chug Bishul, two chugs that they were interested in (besides blogging of course). The campers asked some really great questions, and got some interesting answers in return. -Heather Goldin (Blogging Specialist)

Bishul Bifnim (Indoor Cooking):

Gesher: What are you making?
Camper: Vegetable tempura.

Gesher: How do you like indoor cooking?
Camper: It's very fun.

Gesher: What ingredients are in the tempura?
Camper: Well for the batter the ingredients are flour, cornstarch, salt, ice water, egg yolk, and fluffy egg whites. Then we chop up vegetables for the batter.

Gesher: For how many years have you been teaching this chug?
Sue (Cooking Specialist): 10 years.




Hip-Hop:

Gesher: What do you like about hip-hop?
Camper: I love to dance.

Gesher: What is special about the dances  you have learned?
Camper: There is a lot of moving around.

Gesher: Why did you choose this chug?
Camper: I like to dance.

Gesher: What kinds of dances do you teach?

Gesher D Photography!!

 By Hannah M: The palm tree has so much texture.


By Hannah M: The shadows are so cool!


By Hannah N: The colors really pop out of the picture.

By Hannah M: I love the design on the flower.

By Hannah M: I love the way that the focus of the picture looks.

By Harrison: It makes whoever took the picture look really tall, and the shoes are really comfortable.

By Ben: I was playing with perspective and optic zoom. I zoomed out as far as possible, which made the tree look really tall.

By Harrison: I like the colors of the feathers and the background.

By Hannah M: I love the fuzzy texture of the flowers.

By Hannah M: "Fun in the Sun"

By Ben: The spoon is actually dirty, but it looks quite clean.

By Ben: It looks like a beautiful fountain. The palm tree spikes also stand out.

By Hannah N: I took this picture because I thought the design looked cool. It's funny because the  picture says "Ip Hop."

By Ben: This is a grasshoppers perspective of the world. It's very blurry and foggy.

By Hannah N: It looks like ben is surfing.

By Hannah N: The tree looks so tall

By Hannah N: Harrison looks like a monster

By Hannah N: I love the colors in the picture.

By Harrison: It looks like you are in a forest, but it's just grass.

By Harrison: I like the tips of the plant, and the background.

By Harrison: The sun is really bright.

By Hannah N: The tree looks really pretty in this picture.

By Hannah N: I like how the tree's shadow is on the mural.
