week three forum

TOPIC 1: TWO PORTRAIT SUBJECTS --  List TWO possible subjects for your Environmental Portrait and Mug Shot.  For each subject note:

1. His or her FULL NAME: I do not have a name yet.
2. Your subject's "claim to fame” (What is their passion? What are they best known for? Job? Creativity? Achievement?) They are a librarian at Albany's public Library
3. The best environment in which to shoot this person: Most likely in the library
4. Props that would work best: Some books would work the best
5. How you plan to contact this person: Via Email

Note: This can be somebody you know, like your hair stylist or a fellow LBCC student -- but not your best friend, your mom or your brother! Keep in mind possible conflicts of interest! Thanks, rp

TOPIC 2: SELF-CRITIQUE --  Now that you've been committing photojournalism for a few weeks ...

1. What is the BEST PHOTO you've taken for this class, and WHY is it your best? (Post a copy of it! AND A LINK!) Because it is a clear photo and has an interesting angle, lines, and color.
2. 
   What is the WORST PHOTO you've posted on your blog so far, and WHY did it turn out that way? (Post a copy, or not ...) This Photo is most likely my worst. She is facing away, she is too far away, I didn't get an interesting angle, the light is poor. The list goes on and on.
3. What SKILL do you feel you have to improve the most to raise the quality of your photos? Getting close to people and ask them questions.
