Well i have to get my portfolio up in about a month and i still need some really good shots. Does anyone recommend anything? what is one of the most enjoy about thing to look at and is very entertain and stimulating on the eyes?

where do you live?

A portfolio is somewhere you put your person best work in .

It's not really a preference, I think you got the idea of what a portfolio is wrong. Like TheBlackRose, it's somewhere where you put your best work in.

Exactly
You don't put in what OTHERS want to see. You put in your best so that when somebody wants to hire you they can see your opinion on your best which will
further help them decide to hire you or not.

A place you might put photos of what other people want might be a photobook that you would give to that person or something like that.

This is very true. portfilio is what you create and what you interpreate as the best in you eyes. i guess i am wanting to get accept into to school pretty badly
