Around Town Photos

With all the virus stuff going on, I'm trying my best not to leave my house or really neighborhood unless I truly have to. I've been on a couple walks with my sister and her dog. We also got in my car the other day and let a coin dictate where we were going to go. Left was tails and right was heads. I didn't take many photos on that adventure because, well I was driving. So, for this assignment, I thought I'd show you what I see most of the time when I want to go outside and get fresh air. My backyard. I know it isn't much, but I sit and play ball with the dog or just enjoy the sunlight. Here are some pictures I took recently.

This picture to the right there is my overall photo. As you can see, there are 2 different trees in the photo along with an old dog house. No, my dog doesn't use it. She's too big! I wanted the main close-ups to be of things INSIDE one big picture.















The picture you see below is my medium photo. Part of me would consider this to be "close-up" but I think my actual close-up photo fits better. As you can see, the dog house is rather old, which is what I wanted to stand out. I really wanted the older features to pop to possibly give this photo more depth.




This is my last photo, the close-up. I thought this qualified as a better close-up than the photo above because of the detail. There are two trees but I feel the main focus is on the one in the front. I love how contrastingly different the two tree's are. One is full and the other being bare.

While reading “It’s What I Do,” by Lysney Addario, I learned to take risks within my photography. To not be afraid to share the truth with the public and make sure to get every last detail you can, to give a clear story and explanation as to what’s going on. At the beginning of the book, she talks about going to Afganistan and preparing to take photos of the war. She and a few of her colleagues were in a car watching as rocket-propelled grenades went off. Debating if they should get out of the car or not, they did. Their next dilemma was how to approach people. Do they explain they’re photojournalists? This is something that I can connect the dots with what’s going on today. These protests are going on worldwide, and if a photojournalist goes to one, do they approach it as a job? Or do they join in the protest if they support the matter as well? It comes down to safety. Whatever you think is going to be best for the circumstances at hand. Don’t confuse people. When reading this bo

Hello! My name is Paige and this is my first year to LBCC. I am currently majoring in Childhood Development and plan to transfer to Texas State next year to begin my Elementary Education studies. I moved to Corvallis in September but I am from Portland. I enjoy photography. I used to shoot a lot when I was in high school and before I moved. I never took a class or really learned the setting on a camera, I just went with it. My 3 goals in this class are: 1. To learn the different settings and things I can use to make my photos more "interesting." 2. See other people's photos and learn a thing or two from them! 3. Become more experienced with not only a camera, but photography as a whole. Learn the in's and out's of it all!

For this assignment, I was super conflicted about what I should photograph. Then I realized, with everything going on in the world right now, the protests and such, why not capture that? While in the Zoom on Monday morning, we talked about how photojournalists could go to protests like the ones in Portland and distance themselves and make it known that they're only there to capture the matter. Earlier in the week when I started this assignment, the Portland protests weren't the safest and my parents didn't really want me to put myself in dangerous situations if I actually went to one. Maybe people would get the wrong message and do something to harm me. So instead, I captured the aftermath. June 2, 2020, Portland, OR. Walking towards the Justice building, you can see the tagging and vandalism that looters have done throughout the city. Peaceful protesting is always the start, but there's a smaller group inside the peacefulness that destroys the city. This wa
