Humans of LBCC



                                                                  Mirkayla Hedlund

 I am A student at LBCC, currently I am taking A general Associates degree and eventually working my way up to a bachelors degree. I have been going to LBCC for about a year now and have enjoyed my experience so far. I've had many challenges, but life has many obstacles to overcome.

The best part about LBCC are that most of the staff are pretty chill and down-to-earth people that are willing to work with you. There are also many different places around campus to grab a bite to eat which is great. Another part i like about LBCC is that there is a support system called The Learning Center which is very helpful for all kinds of people including myself.

LBCC has impacted my life by making me realize that I really don't know what to do with my life. It feels like, why do you do the work when you don't have an end goal or something that you want to work for or towards? When you don't have an end goal, and aren't set up already you don't feel like you're getting anywhere. You also feel like you are wasting money on a career you haven't picked out yet.

In the past my mother had attended LBCC, and she was the only one who attempted college in her family. She attended one and a half terms here, until she had an accident at work. She worked at a mill and sawed off some of her fingers which made her quit college, even though she had multiple sports scholarships.

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 ...
