Week 10

My favorite shot from this term is the mug shot during the Portrait/mug shoot.  I think this was my best work because of the expression on his face. I used what I learned about talking to people while shooting to get them to lighten up and lower their guard. I used it in this photo, at first he really wasn't smiling that much but after a conversation, he was laughing and smiling. My approach to taking photos changed a lot before I just kind of took them without thinking of lighting and my position in the area. Now before I shoot I check the lighting and see how that affects the shot and what angle I am getting. Three goals I have in mind are learning to take better photos, earning an A, and learning to interview people easily. Those were my three goals and to be honest I achieved 2 out of the three. I did learn to interview and talk to people easier and my skill with a camera improved overall as well. This is apparent if you look at the lighting, angles, and expressions o...

It's what I do

When thinking about what part of this book that stood the most, it is hard to choose. From normal experiences to harrowing tales many parts of her story stand out to me. However one does stand above the rest, Chapter 11 was one of the most harrowing things I have ever read.

They are bound and blindfolded and put into a car while shells hit the area around them, after surviving that they are put into a troop transport to be moved.

Loose Ends

"In the mix" I was very confused about what I was was going to shoot for my photo story until I stopped into Suite 0. Since they first opened in a tiny closet-like room under Starbucks in downtown Corvallis I have shopped there. After talking to Mikey, Gabe, and Payton about vintage gems I asked if I could shoot their shop. They happily agreed and asked if I wanted to shoot Loose Ends. Over the next few days, I was in and out of the store and learned a lot about the conception of the store and what brought them together.  Gabe Noller, Payton Smyer, and Mikey Turner all met through shopping local thrift stores, frustrated by the lack of stores for students to shop they soon formulated the groundwork for Suite 0.  When asked on how this store came to be Mikey had this to say "We all were independently selling vintage clothes before this, I worked at a menswear store here before it closed. After that, I knew I couldn't have a regular job I needed to sell clot...
