- 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.

Week 8 forum

TOPIC 1:

1) I think the single most-important technological change in the history of photojournalism is starting to use digital prints  instead of the traditional black-and-white prints. Digital prints have great crisp detail and resolution and good qualities. Darkrooms don't have nearly the same degree of control as the digital.

2) In my opinion, the photographer I believe stands above all others in history of photojournalism is 'Dorothea Lange' . She is a photojournalist known for her images of the workers and those most affected by the depression. Her iconic image 'Migrant Mother' was taken in 1936 at migrant farm workers camp, and it's my fav.

Migrant Mother by Dorothea Lange.

TOPIC 2:

I'm not really sure, but I'm thinking to do "A Day of an International Student". I might go to INTO OSU and take photos and notes of my subject during his day at school. The kind of photos I have in my mind are, a shot of the class and the students in it as an overview, the student doing his/her assignment as a medium, and a closeup of his/her face.
