Smile

During this project, we were asked to take a picture of a person smiling and a picture of the person not smiling. I found it really difficult to do this project cause many people did not like having their photo taken. Some changes I see are when people are not smiling they seemed rude and annoyed. They also seemed unwelcoming. Though when they smiled they seemed like the friendly warm welcoming person. Being Bias can affect your job as a photographer because as a photographer you may be thinking is this okay or right to take a picture of this person. When you are talking to a client some questions I would ask is What’s your hobbies,? What your life like? and I would ask them to smile.

Here are the photos I took

Light Graffiti

For this project we had to change the ISO to 100 and change the shutter speed to the right length that you need to draw the picture. Then you will have a person be the subject and depending on the drawling have 1-3 people drawling things with the flashlight. What worked with this project is having the shutter speed on bulb. This helped because it allowed the people drawling to have exactly enough time to draw what they needed to. What did not work was having the light turned away from the camera. This just made the background be completely lit up. What was frustrating was having very cool ideas but they were to complex to use them also was when we shinned to much light at the wall causing many shadows. If I were to take this to the next level I would go outside during night and use Christmas lights.

Newseum

Ebola Ravages West Africa, 2015, Daniel Berehulak

This picture is two in a protection suit carrying a young boy with Ebola.

My overall impression of this picture is this is very depressing and sad. Its sad to believe that anyone can be infected with Ebola. What drew me to the picture was the boy. I just immediately felt bad for the boy. I was just really surprised that anyone of age and anyone so innocent can get effected.

Brutality in Bangkok, 1977, Neal Ulevich

This picture is of a boy hanging form a tree, and another boy has a chair and is hitting they boy hanging from the tree.

My overall impressions was What is making the boy hit the other boy? Was this just another form of bullying. What drew me to this photo was the boy hanging from the try. I was really confused on why someone would do this to someone. Also what drew me to the picture is everyone around the two boys are just standing there and not doing anything.

If I were taking the image, I would not be able to separate my job fro being a human. I would just be the one trying to stop what is going on and help the people or in the 9/11 case run for my life. Some struggles of being a photo journalist is having to deal with the hate comments that you are most likely going to get because you stood there and took the picture instead of helping them. Another struggle is having that image in your head for the rest of your life. You saw the whole seen in person and know a lot more then what the picture can say. Some rewards of this job is being able to go to famous historical events. Such as the Olympics or cool concerts and sporting events. Other awards you can get are actually awards. You have a chance to get the best picture award or other awards.

2nd exhibit

Civil rights at 50

My Favorited artifact they had in the exhibit was the bar they had. I thought it was neat to have the old bar the black people use to have to go to. It fit into the overall Newseum because I believe Segregation was a important part of history and should be remembered. The segregation allows many people to come learn about all the rules for blacks and whites and where what color was welcome. In the exhibit something that I thought was really interesting was the black college students and how they launched their own protest. If you were to go to the Newsuem I recommend stopping by the Civil Rights at 50 exhibit.
