Week 10 Blog Forum


This photo stood out to me because out off 300 plus photos this was the only one that really turned out. It was exciting getting the photo and being able to go back and look at it and really be proud of a photo I took. It reflects what I learned In photo journalism by getting the action and seeing their faces. I was patient with the photos and sat in an area for a log period of time trying to get a good action photo. From the beginning of the term until now I've learned so much. Before starting this class I didn't even know how to use a camera, and now I know what a lot of the parts that go into the camera settings and how to take a good photo. 

My Goals

My goals for this class are how to work a camera. Considering I have no skills in camera use, any skills at all would be more than what I know now. I want to also engage with the campus and learn more about what is happening at LBCC. Going around and taking picture will hopefully help me do that. I would also like to get connected with the commuter and get some of my work published in it.

I believe I achieved most of these goals. I started the class with absolutely no idea how to use a camera and now I can execute goos photographs, like the one shown above. In joining this class I did learn more about LBCC, for my photo story I used the LBCC equestrian team, which before the assignment I never knew existed. During the term I did accomplish my last goal of getting published in the Commuter, and I hope to continue this onto the next class news writing and continue to work with the Commuter.

Colitis survivor Brody Johannesen

As he sat in his hospital bed, Brody Johannessen wondered, why me? What is wrong with me, what did I do to deserve this? Weeks later looking in the mirror he saw someone he didn’t recognize. Someone who didn’t know where to look next or how his life would change. 80, 90, 100 pounds up on the bar. Now the only goal is to push the next rep. LBCC sports science major Brody Johannessen was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis the summer before his senior year of high school. Not knowing if he would ever play the sport he loved again and how his life would change because of it. “It was soul crushing, because I found out right before I had Linfield camp and wasn’t sure I was going to be able to play football that year,” said Johannessen. Now, he smiles as he enters the gym, carrying a notebook with the day’s workout plan. The gym is where his time now belongs. When not hanging out with friends having a game night, brody goes to school full-time and works out regularly. “Lifting was a big part

Week 10 Blog Post

My three goals on my first blog post were 1. I want to commit time to the Commuter. I really hope to get published in the Commuter many times this term and write great stories for them to have. 2. I would like to improve my story writing and how in-depth I work on the stories I write. 3. My interview process as well, I've done many interviews but there's always room for improvement especially with the questions and content I retrieve. My first goal really turned around. Not only did I write stories for the Commuter, I became a photo editor, and I'm really glad I did. I think throughout this term I did improve my writing. I wrote a variety of different feature stories I'd never done before. In the past I only wrote news reporting stories, then this term I got to write columns and reviews, which I'd never done before. On the last goal, I'd say I improved some, probably not as much as I would've liked.
