About Me

    Hi my name is Jett. This is about my third year here at Linn Benton Community college and I am currently working towards a HDFS (Human development and family science) degree. With that degree I hope to go into counseling. For me this class is essentially just for the credit so that I can transfer to OSU with an associates degree but photography has always been an interest.

    My photography experience goes back to high school where they provided a full film photography experience. It gave a great introduction to using light, rule of thirds, and there basics. One of the best parts of it by far was using the dark room that they provided and processing our black and white photos. While I don't think this sort of thing will become a career path I would love to continue this as a hobby.

My Choice - Environmental Photo

Image
       This week was up to me as a photographer and my favorite assignment from this year was the environmental and mug shot assignment. So this is Elisa Maddison and she is a student at OSU studying HDFS (Human Development and Family Sciences) to pursue a career in helping adults with disabilities.  When she isn't working on homework her hobby is art. She has been drawing for the past 10 years and has found her favorite medium includes recycling old records. To do this she will sand the record to be able to paint on it or if she is working on a collage then tape and glue suffices. Utilizing her drawing skills she also draws on her tablet to sketch out designs for tattoos, stickers and future record projects.  Though she hasn't been able to currently she hopes to be able to sell her designs and stickers soon. Her main inspiration comes from her parents who are also very versed in the arts and crafts department.

Lynsey Addario's "It's what I Do" -- book report

Image
“Trying to convey beauty in war was a technique to try to prevent the reader from looking away or turning the page in response to something horrible. I wanted them to linger, to ask questions.” - Lynsey Addario (It's What I Do)      This quote would have to be one of my favorites because the quote in itself makes you want to ask more questions. I found myself in awe when I first saw her pictures because at the time I had been listening to the audiobook and haven't seen any. However, as soon as I saw the pictures I simply couldn't look away and felt like I had to re-read the section the photo referenced so that I could understand all that was being said in both the book and the photo. The techniques she uses to capture photos like the one I'm including aren't exactly done with the camera itself, she has a way of integrating herself into the culture she's capturing. Weather it's the military, Taliban or just someone's home like in Afghanistan she utilizes

Photo Story - Raft Races

Image
 The final project in my Photojournalism class is a photo story, the story I chose to follow this week is my friend Anna Ehlers and her team who organized and participated in a philanthropy event. The event was a raft race of which took place May 19th and included eight other fraternity / sororities from around OSU. Commonly these events are held to promote and collect donations for non-profits and this one was no different, for this event the non-profit they were collecting for is the Leukemia and Lymphoma society.      The day before the event Anna (right) and her team of sisters, including Kyra (Middle) and Haley (Left) is reserved for building their raft. As part of the rules the only materials allowed are duck tape, cardboard, plastic bottles and anything else that can be recycled. The main idea that Anna's team had was to make a solid base made out of interlocking duck taped bottles with a sort of seat on the top. This ideas eventually turned into the craft you see before you
