Photo Dump for Week 1

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)

Sand Volleyball

WEEK 3 ART SHOW YAY!

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.

Just How Mom Shoots Photos!

Gabby Mathis is a freshman student at LBCC, working towards a degree that would allow her to become a Phlebotomist. She used to be a exceptional athlete in Track and Field at Henley High School, however she chose not to pursue that path into college. As a millennial (as many of us are) she and her relay team would take a photo before every meet, similar to this one here Gabby D. Mathis, 18
