My Neighborhood/Hometown I'm going to photograph Albany, Oregon. I actually currently live in Lebanon, but I grew up in Albany and for almost my whole life it's where I lived and went to school. It's still what I consider my home. A portrait I could shoot would be a worker in Albany. I would most likely do someone who works at a popular "just Albany" place, like Hasty Freeze.

LBCC photos I think good subjects for an upcoming photoshoot would be classes getting started and some students trying new things. Like, students first time in a lab, or first ti...

Camera in hand, police badge on chest. The stage is set for the newest episode of "Cops." Behind the scenes is a writer director and filmmaker. Friends agree to act, so he gets to writing the script. His dreams of becoming a movie director start out with the small films shot in backyards of Albany, Oregon. Numerous films around the town have helped this young aspiring director make his name in the town. Watch out, it won't be the last time his name is heard. How did you first get into film making? “I used to film movies with my webkinz and G.I. Joe’s when I was little. When I was 15 I watched ‘Pulp Fiction” and I was like, shoot, I want to do that. So I used a little camcorder my dad gave me to make a movie called ‘The Wanderer’ on a snow day in 2017.” What’s was your favorite film that you’ve made so far? “I guess a remake of ‘The Wanderer’ that I did about a year and a half ago. I’ve never been truly proud, because I know I always need to be better, but I was...
