Freed of criminal charges, Cumberland County woman still fighting to recover 40-plus animals seized by Humane Society by Matt Miller http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2014/11/freed_of_criminal_charges_cumb.html#incart_m-rpt-1

-The article was about a woman, who lives in Cumberland County, that is trying to get her animals back that were seized from her in January 2014. All of the criminal charges were dropped by the district judge, and she is suing the Humane Society of Harrisburg.

-I didn't like that the photo is plain and simple, especially because there is only one picture on the article. I liked the article because it told me everything about the event and situation, past, present and future.

Photojournalism Project Proposal

I'm planning on going to the sprint car races at William's Grove on November 15. My friend races and I enjoy being at the races, even if it's freezing cold! I've only been to about 5 races and I've learned a lot about it. Most people won't understand it until someone explains to them or they go to the races, so I think it will be interesting and different to use as a project.

Portraiture Final

My model was my sister, Kara. She's always a happy, fun person to be around, but she knows when to be serious. I showcased this by having her smile in most pictures. I also had her do a couple of serious shots. 

I liked this project, but I can't say I loved it. I liked being able to move the model, unlike with sports or action. I don't like when the model comes with no ideas of what they want, I shouldn't have to take them everywhere, in case I take them to a spot they don't like or I skip over a place that they end up liking.

I showed my sister the final photos and she was pleased with them. I posted them on Facebook and a lot of people commented that they liked them.

I would advise them to know stuff about their model and places they like. Show them the pose you want them to do, but also let them choose some.

The most challenging aspect of this project was deciding where to take her to take the photos. I didn't want to choose a location that clashed with her or her outfits. I think I did well with showcasing her personality as a fun, yet serious person.
