Hometown Photos

My hometown shoot was taken in Burns, Oregon. The city of Burns was established in 1884 and was named after the famous Scottish poet, Robert Burns. Burns is located in the high dessert of Harney County, which is the biggest county in Oregon.

V.I.P Registration Day (Makeup up for Week 6 Photos)

Students gathered at LBCC on May 22, for Courtyard lunch and VIP registration. Activities were set up around campus to get students excited for the upcoming year.

Week 7 Post

Topic 1
1.) For my hometown pictures, I am going to be taking them in Roseburg, Oregon. Roseburg has been my home for my entire life and will always have a special place in my heart.

2.) Some ideas I've had for my hometown landmark is the "Historic Downtown Roseburg" sign or the Roseburg Library. The Roseburg Docs baseball games are a popular place to be on a spring night, so I would like to get some nice shots of team and fans for my activity shot. For my portrait shot I'd like to take some pictures of the famous Umpqua river which runs through the heart of Roseburg.

3.) The hardest photo out of these three will probably be my landmark shot because it's going to be  difficult to get people in front of the landmark.

Topic 2
1.)  I would like to do homelessness in Corvallis for my Photo Story. I think that Corvallis has problem with the growing number of people that are homeless. Everyday while I'm driving to school I see more and more homeless camps and people sleeping in tents or under bridges. The nearby 7/11 is a popular hangout for many different homeless people and some of them I've already had conversations with. My plan for this assignment is to go around to different locations and document the everyday life for these homeless people. I would also like to talk more with these people and provide them with any small items that they may need like canned foods, toiletries, and clean water.

 Richard Mascarenas is focused on winning one game at a time in the upcoming NWAC tournament. Mascarenas was just named to the 1st team all-conference team while also earning a Gold Glove at shortstop.

The Linn-Benton Roadrunners scrimmaged on Thursday preparing for the NWAC championship coming up on May 23-27. The Roadrunners have accumulated a 30-9 overall record and a 20-4 record in conference, along with being back to back South region champions.

Week 6 Post

1.) Linn-Benton Baseball Team

2.) The Roadrunners have a game at home Saturday vs Clackamas.

3.) Im a little worried about being able to capture their faces during the game, but I'm going to take a lot of photos so hopefully some turn out.

4.)  a.) For my overall picture I want to get the whole field and maybe even the fans or batting cages. Id like to get some close-up pictures of the players hitting or pitching and really focus on getting the right light to see their faces. My medium picture is going to be of the whole team doing their pre-game tradition of getting in a circle and giving everyone a hug.

Health and Safety Fair

 Students from LBCC gather at the Health and Safety fair to discover new practices to help better their lives. More than 15 booths were set up around campus to improve students understanding of their own well-being.

Hub City Chapter was one of the many booths set up for students to view. The groups main goal was to educate people on the dangers of reckless motorcycle driving.

Helmets are lined up in the courtyard to remember the men and women who have lost their lives in motorcycle accidents.
