Week 6 Blog Forum: My Hometown Ideas


  1. I'm going to be shooting this assignment in Sweet Home because that is where I currently live.
  2. A portrait idea that I have is one of my buddies at either Sankey Park or North Side Park.  A landscape idea I have is Foster Lake because it's one of the most popular destinations in Sweet Home. An activity photo idea I have is at the local, old-fashioned A&W, with people ordering and eating food.
  3. The most difficult photo to shoot, I assume, would be the activity photo, because I think I would want an overall shot of the whole restaurant, but that'll be rather difficult because of A&W's location.

With this in mind, whenever I try to shoot some photos, I know now to take several different photos from several different angels. I also learned that it's okay to go places and just start taking lots of pictures, that I don't have to be concerned of the people around me unless they are my subject. GOALS: One goal I have for this class is learning how to properly use a professi

Ruby LaToya Frazier is an award-winning photographer. She was born in Braddock, Pennsylvania in 1982. Braddock is a rather run-down and poverty-stricken town. Braddock had a major influence on the kind of subjects she wanted to photograph. Frazier works in photography, video, and performance to show visual representations of industrialism, rustbelt revitalizations, environmental justice, healthcare inequality, and communal history.

However, she is currently an Associates Professor of Photography at the School of Art Institute of Chicago, though she has previously held other academic and cultural positions, including positions at Yale University of Art. Ruby LaToya Frazier has several pieces of popular and recognized work. Some of her most famous collections include The Notion of Family, Gray Area, and Flint Lives Matter. My personal favorite photograph shot by her is a photo from the collection Fli
