Week 7

So, one of my favorite things to watch, when I am not at my parent's house, is anime. Now I'm not talking about the waifu bait, or any of the weird shit. I'm talking about Bleach, One Piece, Naruto and the like. These shows are realizations of art. Comics come to life. Unfortunately, they aren't always in English dubs, so I often have to watch with subtitles engaged. But this doesn't detract from the shows, they often improve it in my opinion. The dubs often just don't line up with the mouth movements
of the characters
But, there are positives to having to read these subtitles. I never miss anything, not matter how quiet. I do the same thing with my video games, subtitles on. On the other hand, movies almost never have subtitles. and with good reason! It can distract from what is going on in the picture. First movie I remember seeing in theater is probably The Incredibles, wayyy back in 2004. I have since always enjoyed superhero movies, like the current Marvel trend with the Avengers and Ironman. Although the recent Deadpool film landed in my top ten of all time with ease, contrary to most of the Marvel movies.

Last School Post

As the term comes to a close, I have been asked to post my favorite photo from this term. This is a tough decision as there might be a few thousand photos at my disposal. But being the dog person that I am, there is one photo that stands out from all the others. I was sitting at home with one of my best friends, and my dog, Shotzi, wandered up to her and just plopped down in front of her. My friend began to massage and scratch Shotzi, and I noticed the face she was making. PURE HAPPINESS. Shotzi, a Boston Terrier, aged 12 My photo skills from the beginning of the year were decent, but not great. While they have improved (I finally figured out how to change my ISO!!) I still have a long ways to go. Fortunately I have a lot of opportunities to improve my shots.

Sand Volleyball

Noa Taipin sets up Kevin Snyder for a hit back across the net. Kevin Snyder comforts Noa Taipan after losing a tough point. Ethan Thomas begins his serve during a mini-tourament. My subject turned out to be several different people and the sport is obviously volleyball. I shot these far too late in the afternoon, and had to work to get them up to par. They were shot at the Linn-Benton volleyball courts I had to double up on the medium shots, for lack of a "true" overall shot. But they turned out far better than I originally thought.

My Hometown: The Dirty K

My hometown is a city about thirty minutes from the California border, known as Klamath Falls. Its not much, mostly famous for the military base, its high crime rate, and having one of the best high school baseball teams ever. But its one of my favorite places to live. Living in Albany shows me that while I love the rain and the proximity to the cities of Oregon. But it doesn't have the jets constantly roaring overhead. When you hear that for years on end, you miss it when its gone. I had some excellent ideas for my hometown shoot, like having some airborne shots for the overall shot. But the only opportunity I had was foiled by bad weather, and a lack of camera knowledge. Just below the storm cloud, with the lumber mill next to the Klamath River.
