Bicycle!

I was looking at Flickr's Blog thing and saw this photo. It immediately grabbed my attention.

So I love to ride my bike, so this made me think of that. I like the focus just on the bike and the way the background looks. I dunno why the caption is there, but whatever. Ugh now I wanna get out and ride but I still have to write a story for the Commuter.

This photo was taken by Dustin Diaz and posted to flickr.

A random photo

This is a photo I took over the summer while I was visiting Coney Island in New York. I really like this photo, although it has no people in it.

I only take issue with one part of it, the lower right corner. Really it does not bother me much but I do notice it when evaluating the picture. Maybe I could crop it, dunno I do kind of like the sky in the top right but whatever :P

What I do like is the angle and the content. Coney Island was a ton of fun for me. The Cyclone is one of the oldest wooden roller coasters, and it is a ton of fun!

Photo Critique 1

I found this photo browsing through Flickr. It was taken by ENIGMA_IMAGES, and the title is "_MG_0982." This photo was taken at the G20 demonstrations in London. Although it has no real caption and the title is probably just the random number the camera spat out I think this is an amazing photo.

The main subject is a bald man with a few trickles of blood are running down his face while pointing boldly as if making a point. First I thought the main subject was just stunning, the photographer really captured the emotion this man was putting out. I like this a lot in black and white I think it really works for the photo. The two men in hoodies behind him have a truly amazed and stunned look, which I think adds to the over all feel.

First Photojournalism Post

This is Eric Badeau, a fish and wildlife major at LBCC. He was studying in the library when I asked if I could take his photo for class.


This is a photo of Taylor Seidlitz, a business admin major at LBCC. He was buying books for his classes when I came up and bothered him :P
