Sorry its late everyone! It has been a really busy couple of days! I have been in this photojournalism class for about 3 weeks now, and I have taken some really good shots and some really bad shots. I'm really proud of the action shot I took the first week of class, the one of the baseball player jumping for first base. That one is my favorite. On the flip side of the spectrum, there have been HUNDREDS of bad photos. This Art show I attended, ended up being one of my worst series of shots. It was according to user error of course, as I forgot to account for the dark lighting and floodlights on the apintings Works by Dan Murnae and Cory Self at the Ekphrasis Art Show last Wednesday. Students discuss several pieces at Ekphrasis last Wednesday. A piece by Aurora Sherwood, presented last Wednesday at the Ekphrasis Art Show.

Reading Its What I Do  is starting to look like one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. Im far more accustomed to reading books like Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings . But a recent timeline non-fiction book has gotten my attention for the first time ever. The amount of detail in the prelude shows a no-holds barred style of writing, with an attention to detail.

The pictures she took during the conflict in Libya are exceptional, showing the fear and uncertainty in many of the rebel fighters. Often these photos were taken just before a helicopter strafe or a bombing by government planes. Then when she is writing about her early life, she has the same style of writing. Only the truth is written. Jack P. waiting for a student to finish their question at Wednesday's Career Fair Emliy McTavish explains working at an insuran...

As this is the Internet, just call me Griff. Im a student at Linn-Benton, majoring in journalism. Im taking a journalism class, which prompted me to create this blog. I may not have much experience in photojournalism but I'M READY TO GO Super typical, but I have 3 big goals for this class, 1) To improve my photography skills and apply them in my endeavors with the Commuter. 2) Gain a better understanding of the First Amendment and how it affects news reporters. 3) Doing this has made me happy to go to class for once, I want to keep it that way. Then for next week, I'm planning on doing multiple shoots on Saturday (Baseball and Athletic Playday)   #25 Damon Peters jumps for first base after an excellent bunt up the third baseline.
