More Humans of LBCC



 

Bailey Gurski

"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."

In the second half of the book, I defiantly think chapters 7 and 11 are the most compelling. I think that both of them are filled with such raw emotion and they talk about things that we don't ever have to even think about. Chapter 7 stood out to me because of the way Addario described women. Even the title is "Women are Casualties of Their Birthplace." This chapter is about when Lynsey finally travelled to Africa to shoot the lives of the people there living in poverty and fear. Here she interviewed dozens of African women who have been through hell and back. The chapter ends with her describing different things that happened to each one of the women. From being raped to robbed, to beaten, to getting AIDS. Although it was very compelling to read, I ranked chapter 11 as number one for multiple reasons. Chapter 11 has been my favorite chapter to read. The reason being Lynsey Addario wrote it herself about a traumatizing experience that she went through. Because she exper...

Photographer of the Week

I chose to research photographer Lee Jeffries for this assignment. The reason I chose Lee Jeffries is because his photos really caught my eye. They are so distinctly his work and I think that is really cool for a photographer to have. His "claim to fame" is photographing black and white images of homeless people all around the world. My favorite picture of Jeffries is the one below. This photo, like many of Jeffries work shows so much emotion. This one is a little different because most of them focus on the subjects eyes but I really like how this one shows so much emotion without even needing to see the eyes. This photo is actually of a homeless sex worker without the wig she usually wears.   Photo taken from DailyMail.com https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2608543/Photographer-Lee-Jeffries-uncovers-haunting-human-face-drug-addiction-homelessness-poverty.html Lee Jeffries got the idea of photographing homeless people when he came across a young homeless gi...
