1. My favorite photo is the combat surrender one that goes along with the store, WWII live on with Yeager's collection.
1a.This is my favorite photo because of the way it is lined up. The person is directly in the center and the background is a little blurred out. I think the photographer did a great job of taking the picture at the right moment, and I like that it is in black and white. I like that because it goes along with the story well.
2. My least favorite photo is the blood work one, going along with the story, Senior fights a life-long disease with no sign of a cure.
2a. This is my least favorite photo because the angle is awkward. The colors are not the best and in my opinion they could have gotten a different perspective of how this could be portrayed.
3. I would like to take pictures for the, Bees find a sweet home on campus story.
4. I would rate the photography a 6 out of 10 because I believe all the stories could have photos captured with a different concept. The photos also could have had a few different angles, most things were centered right in the middle.
Brainstorming task:
I think that a cool topic that should be covered in the newspaper should be youth groups that are students attend. I know many students that have many different religions and many of there churches have youth groups. I would be cool to learn what the youth groups do and where the activities happen.
Jordan Haschke would be a person you could interview for this story because she is religious and she attends youth groups for her church. Jordan is very involved in her church and she knows a lot of other resources for other people you could use for interviews.
