Week One Assignment

About Me:

My name is Krystal Durbin I am 19 and in my first year of college at LBCC.  I dropped out of high school my junior year. After I dropped out I decided to get my GED (and was an honors student what!) and then moved on to college. I am now studying to be a journalist i'm still not sure if that is what i'm going to do.All I know is that  I love hearing people's stories and learning different things and what better way to do that than hearing from the sources themselves. When i'm not in school or doing my homework I love to play video games especially online because I can talk to people from all over the world. Just being able to learn something different is the highlight of my day. Thank you for taking your time to check out my blog!


My First Story:

The story I chose to write about is the LGBT club at LB-CC, where I will be interviewing 3-4 people about the club. Corbitt Sanders Club President, Tim Black Supervisor, Aliza Fegan member of club, were three people that I interviewed. I will be writing about how the club runs, who's in it and  when they meet. I didn't know this club existed before a friend brought it up during lunch. That was when I knew that this would be my topic, I love hearing about people being happy and confidant with who they are.

Topic Two:

Three goals I have for this term is to put myself out there and do things that I wouldn't normally do, get over my fear of people, I know a journalist who is afraid of people what! I'm not afraid of people I have anxiety and it is a big part of my life, I am trying to work past it.

Week 4

Topic One I find number 10 the most compelling section in the Code of Ethics because being a journalist is hard on everyone involved, it can be stressful. But to have someone treat you bad because you are competition and to stress you out more is very bad for your work and your health. Just you know treat people nicely who wants to be known as the asshat in the office. Number 4 stands out to me because at home we avoid talking about politics because we get into some heated argument, I couldn't imagine taking a photo about politics and or civic business involvements just to get some bad backlash from people.  Topic Two Im not sure how to find the other blogs but I know any photo that Aidan would take were all very beautiful! Topic Three My favorite part of the book so far is when she realizes or i guess describes why she does her job. Yes it's dangerous but it is everything to her, she loves her job even when her job may not love her back.

week 10

Topic One 1. My best photo I believe was in my Time Capsule post but i can't pick one.  I would have to choose the last one with the flowers or the water bottles that was really interesting. 2. I think it stands out because, like a lot of people in class thought, the composition was really nice. they filled the screen almost completely. 3. Honestly I didn't really know how to frame or use a camera at all before this class. So I think it says a lot about what I learned. 4. Now I know how to use a camera my skills have gotten a lot better from the beginning of the term. I noticed that I have been able to get closer to my subjects. Topic Two My Goals:  My three goals for taking this class are to take good photos that everyone can enjoy. I know right what is considered a good photo, I believe that a good photo is one that makes you feel something and it makes you think about it. Figuring out my own style is something i'm really trying to figure out. Also I just want...

week 2 blog post

Photographer of the week: Name: Cindy Sherman Cindy Sherman is best known for her conceptual portraits, she is also a film director where she made multiple films. She has also been awarded with 4 different awards the Guggenheim Fellowship for Creative Arts, MacArthur Fellowship, Hasselblad Award, and the Glamour Award for The Superstar. What stands out about Sherman's photos is how she can make herself look like so many different women. Cindy Sherman's claim to fame is her portraits. Every one has a life of its own, a story it tells that is different than the last. Cindy recreates and creates women throughout time. Topic Two:  So far I find the book very intriguing the way she is able to put us in her shoes like we are actually there gives me shivers. I don't think I could handle what she does with the blood and death, I couldn't watch that. I couldn't just take photos I would want to help but then I would be too scared too. Lynsey Addario has the guts ...
