TOPIC 1: MY HOMETOWN -- Next week’s assignment is to post three photos from your “hometown” -- a news or feature photo of an activity; an environmental portrait; and a landmark, preferably with people in it.
As you embark on this quest, answer these three questions:
- What town/city are you going to photograph and WHY?
- I will take pictures in my hometown of Philomath, it has a nice small-town feel, and will fit perfectly.
- List 3 ideas for photos that you could take: one portrait subject; one landmark; and one activity.
- For a portrait subject, I could photograph my friend who works at Miller Timber Services here, for the landmark, maybe a beautiful overall of the town from one of the surrounding hills, and for an activity, maybe something school-related, sports practice, etc.
- Which one of these photos will pose the biggest challenge for you, and explain WHY.
Finding someone to take a portrait of is always time consuming, and often annoying for you and your subject. That will most likely be the biggest challenge.
TOPIC 2: TWO PHOTO STORY IDEAS -- Begin thinking about the Photo Story that you will do to culminate this term in Photojournalism.
Outline TWO photo stories that you could do for your final assignment.
1. Skating in Philomath/Corvallis.
I have quite a few friends who skateboard, and they love to practice tricks and have me shoot them doing it. It would make an interesting story, seeing them get better and practice new things.
Who: My friends
What and Where? Them, at various skate parks
When? Hopefully on Sunday if the weather clears up.
First, answer the questions:
- Who?
- What?
- When?
- Where?
To pull it off, I have to find a time when multiple people are at the skate park, practicing, the light would have to be decent as well, and I might have to physically arrange something. Most likely however, I can just head over when a few people are skating.
