Topic 1 Best photo

1. The best photo that I have taken is the baseball shot of the action on first base.
2. The photo photo stood out because I captured the ball plus our guy safe on first base.
3.This photo reflects what I have learned in Photojournalism class because when I first shot baseball I wasn't very good, and I learned form the class to shoot low and get the players eyes and the ball.
4. When I have a photo assignment now its much easier to approach the subject and get the shot without disturbing the scene.

Topic 2; Goals then and now

These were my goals from the beginning of the term. 1, Take awesome photos of people and what they are doing. 2 Learn as much as i can about photojournalism. 3 Have an awesome term!

In achieving my goals the area that I most achieved in, is being comfortable taking pictures of people and what they are doing. For example the first couple of photo assignments were distant and not in the action. Plus the captions are way better now than they were.

Photo Essay, Farm to Customer

Farm to Customer

One of LBCC's three greenhouses, located in the northwest corner of campus, housing the tomatoes, peppers and broccoli. The students in the Profitable Small Farm program strive to farm the crops organically. When the crops are producing the students sell the produce in the courtyard outside of Takina Hall. 

Jesse Schell, right, tells Max Meehan how much the farm stand sold so far. Both Jesse and Max are from farming backgrounds. Jesse got involved in the student farm because he wanted to know more about where his food came from. Max wanted the practical information that the PSF program provides. 

The onions that are grown on the two-acre garden plot are amazingly delicious.

Max Meehan sells some snap peas and Swiss chard to an eager costumer. The Swiss chard can be steamed and thrown in a curry or eaten raw in a salad.

The farm stand is every Thursday from 10:30-12:30 to the outside of Takina Hall.
