The purpose of this class is to give you those skills.This class will stress many different skills. Learning the technical tools and software of a photographer will be covered at the start. We will focus on the creation of the highest quality still images. The class will focus on storytelling, since this is the primary purpose of professional photojournalism and many other specialized areas of photography.

Assignments
Benedictine Magazine - This will be a semester long project which will use photographs the class has created about our University.Cover design, articles about students and staff, sports, activities and school architecture will be the content to be published at the end of the semester. This will become a regular publication for the University with proper funding as generated by the class marketing activities. Most assignments will contribute to this final publication project. The students will learn from the actual production of a photojournalistic publication.
Portrait photo(s) - This is an image of a person that conveys something about that person. The photo should be done as an environmental portrait, not a canned one (like your senior photo). Proper lighting, composition, focus and exposure are part of the grade as well. An accurate cutline should also be included.This assignment will be one of our first in order to identify with each other and will be repeated for other University staff and students. You will also present your photo(s) to the class; it will count towards the grade.
Coverage photo(s) - This can be photos from a news event or a sporting event. Benedictine events are fine, as are any other venues (community activities, intramural sports, etc.) The key moment(s) should be presented as well as good lighting, composition, focus and exposure. An accurate cutline should also be included. You will have several of these assignments with multiple subjects or themes. You will also present your photo(s) to the class; it will count towards the grade.
Architecture - This project will capture the rich historical building on campus. You will also present your photo(s) to the class; it will count towards the grade.
Seasonal - This project will have a theme relative to a season or celebration. October, November and December are times when seasonal atmosphere can really effect the creative process. You will also present your photo(s) to the class; it will count towards the grade.
Photo essay - Each student will choose an event or person and record an in-depth photographic story. This assignment should contain quality images. It should be between ten and fifteen frames, effective lighting, composition, and editing (enhancement) are part of the grade as well. You will also present your photo essay to the class; it will count towards the grade.
Shoot today - Student will be assigned a topic at the start of class and then have the rest of the period to wander around campus to fulfill that assignment. The following class period, students will edit their shoot and present their images to the class. There will be several of these assignments when conditions allow. You will also present your photo(s) to the class; it will count towards the grade.
Photo Journalist research - This assignment each student will research a specific photojournalist and discuss his best photograph with the class
Quiz - Multiple choice, fill in the blank and short answer questions, which will cover the material from class as well as the material in the textbook. The quiz will be open book.
- Students need to have a decent camera; a SLR or equivalent. The university does have a few that can be checked out. Film cameras are OK, but processing costs are the student’s responsibility. All projects must be turned in as digital files, as well as all photos from a student’s shoot. Most film processors can burn you a CD with digital copies of your prints. You may also use the darkrooms at the Capital Area Career Center under the direction of lab assistants. See your instructor for details.
- All photos can be uploaded to the class Flickr site: www.flickr.com/groups/benedictinephotojournalism335/ (click to join the group) this is so we can learn from each other and get the experience of actually producing something. We will spend class time examining everyone’s projects. This website will be live to the world; anybody will be able to see your work. Being able to critique other photographers work and to benefit from others who critique your work is most critical. You must also have your original projects and photographs available for critique during class on your camera media card or USB device. The quality of your work and your participation during critiques is the most import part of this class.

Memories of my primary school, 1982 when I was in Grade III. This is St. Mary's Convent School, Tumkur City, Karnataka state, India.
My Dad's classmate made this memory quilt of the places she grew up. There is a bear to spy in each little block. She only uses wool and hand embroiders all of it without a pattern.
We were meant to do a MOC for a contest at Comunidade 0937 to celebrate it's 10th birthday.
So I did a memory book to keep things registered. This one features an important mark for the LUG it was the Fan Weekend at Paredes de Coura and also a party, one of the coolest nights I've had in a long time.

So I never liked growing up in Winthrop, and I avoid going there as much as possible. Yet it seems I have a lot to say about it. Kinda weird. This memory map thing is pretty damned interesting.
Just thought I'd try a little desaturation on this one as the coloured version was not that great to be honest, I think this rescues the shot for me! :)
Here me and our two daughters Amber and Lea enjoy a quiet and wonderful day at DCHS with the girls seen in the Arizona Hot Pool :-)
This memory jug was made by my aunt Jane. Read more about it here: www.weareheavyduty.com/2009/08/09/jane-sigler-burckard-me...
Betws y coed coach park on September 18th 2014 with Memory Lane's imposing Volvo B13R Van Hool T9 parked alongside an M & H Coaches Mercedes Benz Touro.
Every time we meet someone new, we have a chance to retroactively reinvent ourselves. We tell them stories... what our childhoods were like; how we were in our teens; how we landed (or lost) our first jobs, our first loves... and, each time it happens... depending on the audience... we might just trim or tuck or embroider or completely leave out certain facts.
I know a woman who denies (to her partner) her entire 1980s experience. One day I was visiting and started to tell a hilarious story... which I'd just assumed she had shared with her partner... and suddenly, there she was, standing behind him... waving her arms at me, shaking her head and mouthing 'NO NO NO!!!' Later she explained that she found that whole era of her life terribly embarrassing and chose to just pretend - to herself as well as him - that it simply never happened. An entire decade.
This same woman regularly purges her belongings - clothing, furniture, music, books - to eliminate anything that does not currently fit her identity-du-jour. Essentially, she doesn't like to make "mistakes" - and so prefers to act as though they simply never happened.
I have another friend who does exactly the opposite - believes that his "mistakes" are to be treasured, kept and learned from. He quite happily hauls out pics of his bad 80s hair and even worse outfits and... even when they blow goats... keeps (and listens to!) the worst CDs... just because he bought them.
They're two extreme examples, I suppose. Most of us are probably somewhere in between.
But... memory being imperfect and subjective... I bet we'd all be surprised to see real-time tapes of certain parts of our pasts played back.
I'm writing this now because this pic strikes me as a representation of memory... its layers and levels and complexities... some parts soft and vague and fuzzy... some etched sharply... some aloft... others dark, deep and - ultimately - impenetrable.
Also... like this pic... they have no real objective form. They only exist in the mind and the eye.

At about 10:30 p.m. on a Monday night, I decided to go to the Great Salt Lake and take some long exposures. I parked behind Saltaire and walked out to the lake with my mini-maglite in hand to show me the way.
Being out at the lake at night is a surreal experience. The lake was an abyss, the stars only able to break through the darkness at about 35 degrees above the water. The gentle lapping of a dead sea and the sporadic call of a lonely gull muted by the constant hum from the freeway behind me.
Swarms of brine flies scattered as I walked along the shore, they're irritated buzzing fading back to silence as I find the water's edge.
The lack of visual and audible stimulation really made me feel small and isolated. Searching for a sense of direction I look up into the milky way. I find the depth of the universe above me dizzying.
My gaze turns again, blindly, to the sea. I can feel its mystery calling me, pulling me out into its depths. Turning back to the lights of the freeway my thoughts return to lucidity, but I cannot seem to stop staring out into the blank, my imagination going wild with visions of ghosts upon the waters.
Soon I feel that I should go, leave this place of darkness, water, and brine. I bid my farewell to the lonely gull, the flies, and the ghosts. Walking briskly back to my truck no longer needing my maglite, my eyes grown accustom to the dark.
As I drive home I feel like a petty thief having just stolen the exposures crudely stuck in my camera from the ancients. I don't know when I will be back to the lake, but I feel that I will not return a stranger.
This photo was made with nine 30 second exposures, stacked in PhotoShop layers with a screen blending mode.
The light streaking across the photo is an airplane.
The cheese in this post did not come from a can.
In memory of my friend Sherry. We lost her one year ago today to breast cancer. I thought this would be perfect for Pretty Pink Tuesday.
Included in the photo:
bracelets that I wore daily to support her and continue to wear to support those fighting; a scripture that was meaningful to her; a thank you note from her six months before she died.
Sweet friend, mother of four, wife, daughter, teacher, inspiration to many, talented singer, my daughter's namesake. I miss her.
Torside. A gran driving with the grandpa at the wheel. A burger van on the weekends, ketchup, onions, and mustard, grease stained napkin, with ice cream, mint, and tea for the grandparents. A ten year old puppy, giddy on the country air. A stroll attempting to keep dog under control dodging pony trekkers and cyclists and other dogs of equal excitement. Tongues out, tails wagging. Trees wrapped in individual fences, and benches of dedication. Crunching leaves in the Autumn, cracking mud in the Summer, remember the hiking boots in the Winter. 'HEEL' dog gets over excited at baby buggies. Bright eyed and bushy tailed. Gunshots to the west, clay pigeon shooting. Fresh air. Smiles and waves from the grandparents...
Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose
Who needs poetry when you have the wonder years
For George, Gran and Cassie...

I didn't expect the negatives from Day 49 to reappear quite so soon, but this weeks diptych theme seemed a good time to use them.
Three 1920s negatives photographed on glass with natural backlight - one inverted in FotoFlexer to show the black and white image. The moto is from the package the negatives came in.
