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)

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.

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
