WEEK TEN FORUM

TOPIC ONE- YOUR GOALS

1. Learn how the heck to use my camera- I think I partially succeeded in this. I certainly learned a whole bunch about ISO, white balance and using my flash as well as shutter speeds. I still have a bunch to learn though.
2. Learn how to take beautiful news story photos- I think I made improvements! I don't think I'm quite at the beautiful level but I'm getting there!
3. Gain confidence in photographing strangers- I did this! My photostory only consisted of one person I knew!

TOPIC TWO- CLASS WRAP UP

 

Keep- Rob because he's awesome and great at what he does. Keep doing photographer of the week because I think it's so interesting and helped me find inspiration!

Stop- Maybe one day I'll come back to this.

Start- It'd be really cool if we spent time in class discussing more camera settings. I know this isn't a photography class but I think it'd help a lot!

WEEK TEN- PHOTOSTORY

PHOTOSTORY

The Story of Hands

Sharron "Rosemary" Mackenzie is 68 years of age and is a resident of the Lindenwood Apartments. Her nickname is Rosemary because at one point in her life she lived in Connecticut on ten acres of land. She produced many herbs and sold them on to the locals, earning her the name Rosemary. She calls herself an Alum Bum because she is a graduate from Oregon State University but is now retired.  She spends her days checking out what goes on around the Linn Benton campus. She moved to the area again after living in California because her apartment complex owners got sued for filing background checks. She refers to her hands as kitty paws.

Justin Herry is a Linn Benton Community College student in the Welding and Fabrication Technology program. This is his first year. He enjoys the classes and likes how hands on things are.

Maresa Epperson has been working at the on campus coffee shop for a term (four months). She is dually enrolled in Linn Benton and Oregon State University. She's studying exercise and sports science and one day hopes to be a Physical Therapist. She likes Linn Benton better because it saves her a lot of money on her general education credits.

Tonya Johnson has been working at the coffee shop for 2 years but has only been a full time Linn Benton student for two years. She's studying social science and one day aspires to be a drug and alcohol counselor or "something along those lines".

Taylor Borntreger has been managing Hot Shots Cafe for only four months. She is seeking an associates in business and  one day aspires to own her own wedding planning business. She has been a Linn Benton student for three years.

Randi Harney is 18 and a full time cosmetology student at the Aveda Institute of Portland. She one day aspires to be a makeup artist for celebrities and plans on moving to California after school to pursue her career.  She is one third of her way through her schooling and will graduate in November of 2015. She has gone through a haircutting phase, chemicals phase and is now in her esthetician phase where she will learn how to do waxing and facials.
