Well, I have finished my photojournalism class. Loved it! Everyone should take a class like this if they are ever going to use a camera. I find myself always taking my camera with me to see if I can get that special photo. If you are a person that likes the web like me, you'll find yourself always trying to look for the "special" shot that I can put on the web.

I thought this mug shot did not do my teacher, Rob Priewe justice. The lamp in the photo being the one thing that caught me off guard. This lamp does not define Rob, it does not say anything about his character. The lighting has a reflection off the glass from the painting in the background. You can also see an outline of his hands, doing what, are they reflecting something? As far as his face, it looks fine but it doesn't show him in his true light, for a mug shot, in the which it is labeled, it fails the ear to ear test. In short I hope that I don't fail the class. I just think it looks somewhat cluttered and isn't what it could be. I hear the sound of a waterfall and my career going down the drain.

I really like this sports photo because it shows the expertise of the photographer. The picture of the Eiffel Tower and the bikers in the background looking off in their own little world kind of give the audience that what he was doing isn't that spectacular, but the taking of the photo causes you to glance into the life of the rider for a moment. It's like I can hear the traffic of the world and the excitement of the events going on in the background, but, for a moment you are trapped in silence and awe as the rider reaches his peak and comes down from the moment. Awesome.

This picture found on flickr brings a whole new meaning to wheelchair. I liked this photo because it really tells a picture about homelessness. I feel the picture speaks for itself. I like the car in the background that has a different color door and the bridge in the background (you can see the pillars).
