"I am a second year student and my major is psychology. I want to do something with therapy/counseling and helping people with mental illnesses. I want to do this because we don't have enough resources for people who need help. I have seen what mental illness can do to people if they don't get help, and I don't want anyone to feel that alone. Some of my favorite things to do are camping and taking my dog out for walks (especially during fall). I also like to snowboard at Mt. Bachelor! It's where I learned and when I lived in Bend for a year it was only twenty minutes away from my house so I spent more time there than I probably should have."

"Here is the thing: I love my family. I have a younger brother named George and two parents who are dedicated to making other peoples' lives easier. My dad is a chiropractor and my mom is an elementary school teacher at Philomath elementary School. Growing up, our family life was quite comfortable. With both parents at steady jobs and kids in elementary school, life was fun. When all of us were done with work, we'd play games and entertain each other. As a little girl I loved playing with my dad. One of my favorite memories of us was a time he swept my body away and carried me like a sack. I had been in a blanket the time, and my dad bunched me inside that blanket and swung it around."

The above photo of Joey Peterson who finished first place in the 4A boys cross country state championship is probably my favorite photo that I took this term. I really like how the background clearly shows that it is a meet with the crowd and the other runners but they don't take away from the main subject. The main runner's whole body is in the frame and both of his feet are off the ground so I did a good job of freezing the action which was the main goal of the assignment. It reflects what I learned in photojournalism by his expression. A huge part of good photojournalism photos is the expression of the subject. Not only does the main subject have a good facial expression but you can tell the other boys do to. It is also a good example of how to crop a photo for the paper because that is also super important. There is no clutter! And lastly, the main thing that I learned this term is that good photojournalism tells a story and I think this photo does that. I think the m...

Lynsey Addario "It's What I Do" Book Report

“Photography has shaped the way I look at the world; it has taught me to look beyond myself and capture the world outside.” This is by far my favorite quote from the book “It’s What I Do” by Lynsey Addario. It immediately stood out to me because this is the way I strive to view photography. To see the beauty in everything, and not just the surface level. This is what Lynsey Addario does throughout the entire book. She has written a story of how the relentless pursuit of truth, in virtually every major theater of war in the 21st century has shaped her life. Each and every one of Addario’s photographs are captivating in their own way. I would say the main thing that separates Addario’s photos from other photographers are the stories they tell. She has a gift of seeing people and capturing them in her photos. A good example of this is on page 192 of Bibiane, a twenty-eight year old from South Kivu. The only physical indicator of her pain is her tears, but Addario makes it so much deeper....
