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.

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
