Week 10 forum
TOPIC 1:
1- The best photo I took this term.
1- The best photo I took this term.
2- I really like this photo because it stops the action and the depth of filed is very good.
3- My skills before I take this class were not good and there was many things that I didn't know about photography or photojournalism. Now after I took this class, my skills got improved and way better than before. I now can control the camera and get focused and sharp photos. I got to know some important skills that very journalisms should know, like getting peoples names after taking photos of them.
TOPIC 2:
- My goals for photojournalism class are first, don't leave my camera and shoot photos everyday. Second, read books about some famous photographers and try to learn more from them. Finally, do all my assignments and focus in the class to not miss any information that instructor gives us.
- I can say that I achieved all my goals and more. I'm really so thankful that I took this class and I really enjoyed it and learned lots of good things in it. I didn't leave my camera and I used to shoot every single day, and I will keep doing this even after this class finished. The text book was so helpful and interesting, so it was content with it. Also I read a lot about Yousuf Karsh who was my photographer for the week, and I learned more from him. He was such an awesome photographer and made me fall more in love with photography. I did all my class assignments and tried to be as good as I can. I've not missed or skipped any class because I enjoyed everyday in it. I also tried to get as many information as I could from my awesome instructor and supervisor. He made the class even much more fun and interesting. I learned many important skills and tools that can help me in the future or at my work. I appreciate it.

George Pope a member of Sacnas club is chalking at #beBeaverBold block party to raise awareness of his club.
The fire alarm bells started ringing. Student and Staff had to evacuate the Plaza for safety reasons. The firefighters trucks arrived to campus in response to the fire alarm system call.
The event was resumed and everyone was excited for the party to continue.
- On Thursday, June 4, I arrived at the SEC Plaza at 11 a.m. to capture the set up of the event. Fortunately, the weather was nice and warm, which encouraged students to stop by at the plaza after finishing their academics. The #beBeaverBold block party started at noon when the food lines opened; free beef and vegetarian hot dogs, fresh fruit, and sodas were given to students. The SEC plaza was filled up with tables from OSU departments and student organizations. Most of the tables had interactive activities with giveaways. Trifold, flyers, and posters were presented with information about the mission, vision, and successes of the school year for ach organization.
The student performances and awards started at 1p.m. Acapela groups and salsa dancers had amazing performances that kept students engaged and satisfied with the event. Unfortunately, at 1:30 p.m. the fire alarm started beeping and everyone had to evacuate the Plaza. At first, people were worried about their safety but later they were told that everything was fine.
The event resumed after twenty minutes from the fire alarm accident. So, everyone went back to the canopy and the party continued. One of the mail goals of the #beBeaverBold block party was to leave in students an interest for community involvement and active participation on campus.

Photographer of the week.
Photographer of the week,, YOUSUF KARSH
Yousuf Karsh (190-2002) a famous Armenian-Canadian portrait photographer is one of the masters of 20th century photography. His body of work includes portraits of statemen, artist, musicians, authors, scientists, and men and women of accomplishment. His extraordinary and unique portfolio presents the viewer with an intimate and compassionate view of humanity.
Yousuf Karsh grew up during the Armenian Genocide where he wrote, "I saw relatives massacred; my sister died of starvation as we were driven from village to village." At the age of 16, his parents sent him to live with his uncle George Nakash, a photographer in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. Nakash saw great potential in his nephew and in 1928 arranged for Karsh to apprentice with portrait photographer John Garo in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.
The image of Churchill brought Karsh international prominence, and is claimed to be the most reproduced photographic portrait in history. In 1967, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada and in 1990 was promoted to Companion.
In 1967, Karsh was made an officer of the Order of Canada and in 1990, he was promoted to Companion. Out of the 100 most notable people of the century named by the 2000 International Who’s Who list, Yousuf had photographed 51 of them. He was also the only Canadian to make the list himself.
Yousuf was a master of studio lights. He photographed many great celebrated personalities of his generation and he had a gift for capturing the essence of his subject in the instant of his portrait. He also published 15 books of his photographs. The books include brief descriptions of the sessions during which he would questions and talk with his subjects to relax them as he composed the portrait.
Some of the celebrities he photographed included Muhammad Ali, Fidel Castro, W. H. Auden, Marian Anderson, Pablo Casals, Joan Baez , Winston Churchill, Princess Elizabeth, Indira Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Ruth Draper, Grey Owl, Helen Keller, Pope John Paul II, Andy Warhol and Marian Anderson.
In the late 1990s Karsh moved to Boston and on July 13, 2002, aged 93, he died after surgery at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

Week 5 Forum
TOPIC 1:
- My favorite photo story is "Never Too Old For Love". This photo story is very interesting because it talks about people over 80 who still fall in love. The photos made me realized that there is no a certain age for being loved or in love.
- I think the Two challenges the photography faced in getting the images is getting into the subject privacy and show the people a different side of old guys. Also, the photographer had to be with the subject on many different times, and I guess that might be a challenge for him.
- The visual consistency I can see in this photo story is that all the people in the photos are on action. The theme is all about love and old people.
- The techniques or approaches I would use from this project are taking many action photos and be ready there at anytime.
TOPIC 2:
The photo story I'm thinking to do is about international students at INTO OSU and what they do in their daily school life. Another topic is doing a photo story about space club at LBCC.
I would ask a member or a student in the club or at INTO to help me with that.
Week 6 forum
TOPIC 1:
- The photo that stands out to me from Scobel's website:

- Sports and action photography are somewhat difficult and all about timing. I like that she was in the right place at the right time when she took this photo. I like the most the emotion in the players faces. The depth of filed and lighting are really good.
- Some questions:
Which sports do you like to shoot?
Does your sports photography job require you to travel often?
What is the most difficult part about shooting a game?
TOPIC 2:
- My biggest challenge in shooting "My Neighborhood" assignment was getting people names. The photos I took where of some sellers, and they seemed to be so busy. They also asked what do I need their names and photos for, and I had to explain for them why.
- My favorite photo that turned out best is the photo of the woman drawing on the floor. It's so colorful and sharp. I many photos of her drawing, but I like the low angle of this photo.
- If I had this assignment to do over again, I would take more pic and get a more interesting landmark shot.
