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.

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. A landmark I could photograph would be something like the clocktower, or the train station area. An activity I could photograph could be the farmers market on Saturday, or a sporting event happening in town.  The biggest photo challenge in this assignment will probably be the activity. I work a lot and don't always have time to make it to different things happening around Albany, and there's also the factor that I live on Lebanon.  Two Photo Story Ideas One interesting photo story I could do would be my sisters pregnant horse. Taking photos of how horses grow and go throu...

About me  This previous year at my high school I joined my schools magazine/journalism class. After joining I realized I really love journalism, so I'm majoring in it. I took this class as a prerequisite for my major. During my time on my school magazine I didn't do much with the photography aspect of things. In taking this class I want to widen my skills and gain some knowledge surrounding this area. 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. 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...
