Ethan's Photojournalism blog

  Environmental and mugshot portraits Shown above is Sarah Rose Larson, photo editor for The Commuter. The photos were taken around 11 45 all around The Commuter office upstairs at LBCC. She was recruited by the old editor and chief at the end of winter term of 2022. Rob Priewe had talked to her about the position prior to her hire and he had mentored her a little bit before as well. She liked him because he was really positive and passionate about photography.  She used to think of photo journalism as something very stressful that she wouldn't want to do but after taking Rob's photo journalism class her opinion changed. She became very passionate about journalism and saw that it can be a very good and positive thing. She finds it to be a way more fitting job then business management jobs which she had before. She loves her job right now getting to work with a great staff and getting to tutor the photojournalism class is just a really great job for her. Sarah wants everyone to

  Early life: Our photographer of the week, Annie Leibovitz was born in 1949 in Waterbury Connecticut. She ended up going to San Francisco to enroll in a painting program but after travelling to Japan with her mother she saw her true calling was photography. When she returned to San Francisco she started to take more classes in photography and show more interest. She then visited Israel to sharpen her skills even further. She was never taught about color in school, she had to learn it on her own, it was difficult for her to get photographs in color.

  Here I took photos around campus of people at work: This picture shows Greyson Lunceford in his welding class at LBCC on October 15th at 1 30pm. Greyson started this class so he can get his welding certificate, he loves to weld on his own time as well, he started going to LBCC just recently at the start of fall term. Here we see Karen Cannan working at the receptionist desk in the learning center above the library. Karen started working at this desk because she saw a sign for free coffee in august about 2 years ago. She found it interesting because she was able to help students. This picture was taken on the 20th of October at about 10 30.
