Week 6 Blog Forum questions answers

We are supposed to pick our favorite shot form Karl Maasdam guest speaker. My favorite shot of his is the photo he took of the OSU football game were the player is "leap frogging"  another player. Sports is really hard to shoot, and this photo is just spot on, with the composure especially. The image really captures the moment in the game. 

Some ideas for the Home Town photo shoot. Would be, in my hometown there is a really cool bridge, I could shoot it at night so I could have the cars and their lights and also the stars. And we have a gas station that's cool looking. Also the library is interesting. As for the event photo I could get a photo of a tractor driving through town on the way to plow.

Week 5 questions and answers

1. The most compelling photo essay in the textbook, was the "Show of Hands" photo essay. there was a consistency in the photos, all were close-ups shots of the peoples hands, and each photo you could tell right away what each person did. Also the photos included a prop that the hands were holding.
2. Some ideas about my photos essay, would be to shoot a story about the LBCC horse program. One of the mares that they own came from a ranch, it would be cool if I could trace the ranch she came from and get the story of the Mare's origins. And really dig into the history of the ranch.

1. The most compelling item in the Code of Ethics for photojournalism is number 2, "resit being manipulated by staged photo opportunities." This is hard to avoid because people see that you have a camera and then they want to pose. Avoiding these situations is key because the results from an un-staged shot can be far more more compelling, it can portray the raw angle of living. 
2. Under the list of what "Ideally, visual Journalists should do," number 5 stood out to me, "strive to be unobtrusive and humble in dealing with subjects." This is profound because every time you go out photographing you have to be able to entrench into a certain situation get the shot then get out. 
3. For example Lynsey Addario, her work is insanely good because of the fact that she can be in the environment that she is photographing and be able to effectively and profoundly portray her subjects.
