BEST PHOTO:  I love this photo, it shows the international students engaging in an Easter egg hunt game. 

WORST PHOTO:  This photo isn't terrible, but it lacks a person in the frame, which makes it unexciting.


                                         - TOPIC 1 -

Fact #1 
Adams was born into a rich family, however their fortune crumbled quickly after he came                along.

Fact #2 
Piano in his youth taught him discipline and perseverance.

Fact #3
Ansel Adams is considered to be the most "American" photographer ever, both in his subject matter and his personality.


 What stands out most through his work, is his ability to capture the raw emotion in the wild, unmapped landscapes, the peace, the tranquility, but also the loneliness, and the somber beauty that we hold so dear to our hearts. Through his work we see natural treasures that must be protected at all costs.




Ansel Adams' "claim to fame" was his extensive and thorough documentation of our natural treasures, through what was absolutely the best level of photography at the time. His work set a standard for every artist to come, a bar set high enough to immortalize his work forever.

TOPIC  1:

I have always loved taking pictures, as well as writing, and I took a Digital Photography class here at LB. I am not sure as of yet what my major will be, but I am excited about this class, and the opportunities it may involve. I took this class hoping to increase my skill in both areas, writing and photography, and to learn valuable skills that will help me down the road.

TOPIC 2:

Goal 1: Increase skill in photography!

Goal 2: Increase my summary and writing skills when captioning or writing pieces for the paper.

Goal 3: Have fun! I can't wait to get into this class, and enjoy a few of my favorite subjects mixed together!

TOPIC 3:

Some ideas for LBCC photos. As it is spring, shooting people gardening or planting may be a bit of a change from the sports-centeredness that is usual in school papers. The Career Day would also be an excellent time to go and shoot, and for one sports related shot, maybe the soccer practice would be interesting to shoot at.

LBCC's beautiful floral displays are beginning to shine in their full glory this spring, and I'm sure we are all ready for some more May flowers, and less April showers.

The bamboo shoots growing around the greenhouse are rapidly increasing in size.

The LBCC courtyard is looking better and better everyday, as spring is coming upon us.
