It’s ten minutes long, but I think it brings up a really good issue that is evolving within families today. CLICK HERE and then watch “Living With Herbie.” It’s 10mins long, but this is the kind of impact I think of when I think of evolving “photojournalism.” It’s informing, bringing up awareness and new thoughts for families to take into consideration. You can also watch the video “Sandwich Generation,” which is a multimedia project done a year prior on the same family, and how they were doing living with Herbie.

This one is shorter, and doesn’t have film footage. It is strictly just photos and voice overs. I think I would like to experiment first like this one. I would eventually like to get to the point in which I could do both video and photo. CLICK HERE to see these real live Ghostbusters in action!

Check out the amateur one on Pippa Letsky as well!

: For some students, like Nate Drees, time spent in the laboratories of Morningside College isn’t just for class.

: Drees spends between 15-20 hours a week in the lab outside of class time doing independent research.

: He’s not alone, however, Dr. Rachel Robson, a professor at Morningside College, heads the research.

: “I like the idea of discovering something unheard of before and new, and then sharing that newly gained knowledge,” says Drees, photographed above reviewing numbers related to his testing.

: Using viruses that specifically infect bacteria, referred to as bacteriophages, Dr. Robson, Drees and a few other students taking part in the study are testing the bacteriophages against strains of antibiotic resistant staphylococcus aureus, also generally known as Staph Infection.

: Above Robson and Drees inoculating plates with the bacteriophages.

: “We will be presenting our findings at Palmer (the annual symposium Morningside College puts on), the Great Plains Emerging Infectious Disease Conference in Iowa City, and the Iowa Academy of Sciences at Simpson College in Indianola this year,” explains Robson, above inoculating more plates with the bacteriophages.

: Approximately one-hundred different isolates have been tested during the study.

: Drees above making sure to keep his environment and test tubes sterile with the open flame of the Bunsen burner.

: The heat from the Bunsen burner keeps germs from contaminating the open plates and test tubes being used around it.

: Drees showing the colonies of Staph on Isolate 27L-09. The numbers “27” meaning the 27 person tested, “L” standing for the “left nostril” was tested, and “09” signifying the year the swab was taken. All of the staphylococcus aureus was collected from volunteers nostrils over a few years span.

: Drees will be graduating this May with a BS in Biology from Morningside College, and pursuing graduate school at Palmer School of Chiropractics in July.

Surveillance Theory/Visual Perception Theory

Surveillance Theory: CLICK HERE and HERE and HERE

I think what stuck out to me the most in the portion of this chapter discussing “Surveillance Theory” was the part where Newton wrote, “Photojournalism can invade the privacy of individuals and control social behavior… –and it can protect by exposing social problems and errant behavior.” This is how I understood Surveillance Theory.

Visual Perception Theory: CLICK HERE

“Seeing is believing,” was probably the best way I understood Visual Perception Theory.
