Hometown

Members of the community gather on a tour to learn more about the Albany carousal. The volunteer carver explains the process of creating the animals.


The Addams Family is showing at the Albany Community Theatre on many days in the month of May

This Murel is painted on the side of a building down on first street. The painting represents some type of angel with the man's wide stretched arms.

Addario Reflection

     I like chapter 8 of the book because it shows how Addarios's confidence ha been built up since the beginning of the book. She used to be unsure at times and scared of the new places and the conflicts going on there. In chapter 8 however she starts of by saying "I feel more fortune to be an independent, educated women." She now appreciate and is comfortable with her situation. The chapter reflects his because it is much slower paces then most chapter. Rather than the military conflict she is used to she instead is conflicted about a man. Chapter 8 does not have a photo but in chapter 7 I like the very last photo of the women walking in the wind.  I learned in this chapter that it is hard to live conventional life as a photojournalist.
     My second favorite chapter is chapter 10. I love how right after she talks about her love for Paul and the thought of a Family she can't turn away her work and passion. My favorite quote is the last sentence of chapter 10 which is "I couldn't take it anymore and I got on a plane. I was headed to Libya." It shows Addario is not able to live that normal life and she feels she must get away. My favorite photo is the boy with the bandaids on his face. The photo just has such great expression. In this chapter I again was reinforced with the fact that photojournalists can't live norma lives.

Blog Forum Week 7

Hometown:
For the neighborhood/hometown assignment I am going to photograph the city of Albany. I am choosing Albany because it is where i have lived my entire life and I think it would be interesting to look st it from a different perspective and try to capture some interesting photos. For the photo I take I could take a photo of a pedestrian as my subject and then I could take a photo of the carousel for my landmark picture. For the activity I could possibly take photos of people riding the carousel. The photo that will pose the biggest challenge will be the subject one because I will need to actually interact with people.

2 Photo Story:
For my photo story I could do Paris Barton who is a photographer. I will document her time doing different shoots. I will start doing this next week and do it a few days throughout a couple weeks. I will do it wherever she is doing her photo shoots at. That may be in downtown corvallis or in a park or in a field or even at her house. I plan to document her throughout the shooting process so that means makeup, shooting pictures and perhaps even editing. I will do this by having my camera read yat all times and asking her what she’s doing prior to the shoot so I have a general idea.

CARDV Sports Shots

During the CARDV Walk/Run at Oregon State University many volunteers line the path for the walkers. They all encouraged the runners and walkers and always made sure to offer a hi-five to the children who walk by.

More Oregon State student stand and encourage both the walkers and the runners during the CARDV Walk/Run 5k.

100's of people gather for the CARDV Run/Walk in Corvallis on May 11th of 2019. Those Young and Old stand together to support CARDV's mission of taking action against domestic abuse.

Paris Barton Portrait Free Shoot

Paris Barton

Paris is someone whose true passion is art and photography. The best place to shoot her would be her room where she takes most of her photos for her shoots. I think the prop that would work the best is simply her camera. I was able to take her picture in the middle of a shoot she was doing so the lighting worked well.

Addario Week 5

So far in Lynsey Addario’s book “It’s What I Do” I think that her adventures are very telling of how much she loves photography. Considering I want to be a filmmaker that fact that she does whatever it takes to go capture that perfect photo is very moving to me and has made a big impact on me. These specific things are when she goes to new york and thn Iran not weeks after the Twin Towers fell. The lessons that can be applied to photojournalism are that the shots we strive to get do not require near as much as others. For example, if we think it's tough going up to a stranger and asking for the picture it is nothing compared to having to do it in the midst of a war. The life of a full time photojournalist definitely comes at a price. Overall I think Addarios biggest sacrafafice is her not getting to spend as much time with her family. My favorite quote from chapter 6 s when she says “I signed my first will in a flak jacket, holding my helmet in my left hand. This quote is only a page after she cried on the phone with her parents begging her to come home. The whole thing is very impactful. My favorite photo is the one where the Taliban soldiers are gathered and the man in front has his prosthetic leg sitting next to him.

Marc

At the Linn benton safety fair I approached Marc who I thought looked very intriguing. He explained he was running the bike repair station for the fair which allows people to bring in their bikes and have him take a look. Marc is the owner of PNW Mobile Bicycle Repair.

The helmets reflection shows the many people at the Linn Benton Safety fair. These helmets are lined in memory of this who have lost their lives in motorcycle accidents. A very powerful messier for a very important public event.

On Monday May 1st of 2019 students, staff, and others gather in the courtyard-for the Linn Benton Health and safety fair. They tour the various booths where they can learn about various aspects of public safety and be taught by professionals
