This week I worked by myself to take some photographs that were meant to be both newsworthy and portray emotion. I think I did a fairly good job of doing this, although it was pretty hard to capture emotion. I wanted to go to the football game, since I figured this would be a good place to see different emotions, but unfortunately, it was during when I was working on Saturday.
Two of my photos are from the WSBE scholarship ceremony that occurred on Friday. I thought that the pictures of students smiling after receiving their awards conveyed not only the obvious emotion of happiness, but also of pride. I also took some photographs of a blindfolded man tight-rope walking between two trees on T-Hall lawn. I thought that this portrayed the emotion of determination on his part, and hope or anxiousness on the part of the viewer (at least, I know I felt hopeful that he would not fall and anxious that he might while I was watching him).
One of my favorite photos is of the young boy running. There was a track event going on at the football field Monday night for the elementary school, and this was where I took this picture. I tried to get some of the kids running and laughing with eachother, but it was very difficult to take a picture that was not fuzzy (they were really fast), plus the more pictures I took, the worse looks I was getting from parents who must have thought I was a creep.
I wish that I could have found a little more emotion, but I think that for a first attempt, I did a pretty good job. I look forward to being able to take more pictures and improve the content and also the look of them, as I felt that some of mine this week were a bit fuzzy.
