Photojournalism
Taking pictures for a news publication or for journalistic purposes is an exercise in story-telling in and of itself. Take some time today to reflect on some of the basic elements of photo composition.
- Journalism I students- review the elements of photo composition: what they are (the handout on the journalism drive-->photo composition folder will be a helpful reminder) and what they look like in print (pictures). Select examples of each photo composition technique from your work to show to the class. Also check out this guy's blog, and be prepared to highlight some of his photos that YOU FEEL illustrate these same techniques.I'll want you to be able to present one of each in class on Monday.
- Journalism II students- review the PowerPoint show in the journalism drive--> photo composition folder entitled "Photo composition--revised with notes" and then consider the document in the same folder entitled "Photo assignment-beginning" as an assignment for tomorrow. You'll need to be ready to download your photos at the beginning of class Monday (2/7) to complete this (first part) of the assignment.

Now Egypt is reeling from massive protests by an ever widening sector of its populace. News today includes signs that the long loyal military might be joining the ranks of those calling for President Hosni Mubarek's ouster.

My bike (not in winter) |
I had a bad year of bike riding this year. I hope to get back in the saddle, so to speak in very early spring!
