On October 26th, Sydney LaVoie came to school cosplaying as Winifred Sanderson, one of the witches from the movie Hocus Pocus. Her look is bewitching! Getting into character to be Kumoricon-ready!

 The item in the Code of Ethics section that I found most compelling was #6: "Editing should maintain the integrity of the photographic images' content and context. Do not manipulate images or add or alter sound in any way that can mislead viewers or misrepresent subjects." (Code of Ethics by NPPA). This one really stood out to me because of the common practice of using photoshop and etc. in public media to make subjects look "better" than they did originally. Under the section of "Ideally visual journalists should:", the one that caught my attention the most was #6: "Respect the integrity of the photographic moment." It's because it kind of goes along with item in the Code of Ethics I chose; don't change what's going on in the moment. Don't make something look like it is happening, when really, something different is actually happening. An example of manipulating images and what not would be some of the covers on popular

Sydney LaVoie is a full time student at LBCC, and she is currently majoring in Teaching. When asked what subject she would want to teach, she was quick to respond with English. She is a creative and artistic pupil with high hopes to educate future generations.

Two possible subjects that I could use for my Environmental Portrait could be Susan Peterson-Aynes, or perhaps Wesley Davis. Susan is a Physical Education teacher here at Linn Benton. The best environment to shoot her in would be her classroom. For props, I might use an apple or her white board. Wesley is a student here at LBCC. His passion is photography and film.

Reading the first couple of chapters of Linsey Addaro's book, It's What I Do: A Photographer's Life of Love and War , is intense and intriguing. From the moment one reads the Prelude, it's easy to tell that the career that Linsey Addaro had chosen is a career that takes full dedication and courage to simply complete the task.

Her being there, in the moment, when war is happening, she is able to capture the fighting and document what's going on first-handedly. It truly is impressive. Throughout the book, she also mentions what she was always taught growing up; keep doing what you love and things will fall into place. That's obviously not the exact quote, but it summarizes the thought. This thought helped Linsey realize, after years of being indecisive, that she wanted to be a photojournalist.
