Week One Forum

Topic One: GOALS

Now that I've committed to taking photojournalism this term my three goals for this class are:

1. Learn how the heck to use my camera
2. Learn how to take beautiful news story photos
3. Gain confidence in photographing strangers

Topic Two: PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE WEEK

1. Three facts about Eliot Porter:

1. He started by taking black and white photos but then moved into color
2. He traveled A LOT for his work
3. He was the first professional artistic photographer

2. Eliot Porter's 'claim to fame' I believe is his beautiful detailed photos for the time he was taking them. Not a lot of people back then took such amazing photos or even had the materials to.

Topic Three: LBCC PHOTOS

1. Two ideas for our next photo assignment:

1. I could just sit in the courtyard and wait for something cool to happen or
2. I could see what the volleyball team is up to.

2. For my first idea, it could take place at any time, any date, in the courtyard and anything could happen! For my second idea, the time would have to be while they're practicing sometime during the week in the gym.
