Topic 1:
I think the next step in photojournalism for me is to get my own camera and just start experimenting. I am certain I would like to continue doing what I did for this class, though probably only in a casual sense for awhile. After I get some more advanced camera skills I will most likely revisit the exciting photojournalism scene.
I plan to buy or to borrow a new camera over the summer and just take a whole bunch of pictures and see what I can come up with. I want to developer skills that will help me in my journalism career so that I can be a man of many talents. If I can get my own pictures as well as right my own stories then I feel I'll be pretty well off.
I really want to start taking pictures of things that get me excited and of cultures that I find interesting. I am excited to see where it takes me. I plan to mostly just go with the flow.
Topic 2:
I would say that Arthur "Weegee” Fellig made the biggest impression on me. I like the thought that he was one of the first to get really involved with reporting and he took some really powerful photos. He started getting photos that no one had the ability or the guts to get before him.
I also think its interesting that he was one of the first to start altering photos. I don't exactly approve of how he did it, but its noteworthy that he pioneered the practice to a certain degree.
