Pictures that mean whatever you want them to.

#2 – Emotion

February 16, 2024 / / 0 Comments
This is a picture of my girlfriend, Agnes Garder. The emotion in this picture is hard to find a specific word for, but I would say that it is a hybrid of excitement and happiness. The moment in which the picture is captured is when I took her out for dinner on Valentine’s Day at Kahill’s Chophouse, arguably the finest restaurant in Sioux City. All the excitement and happiness caught in this picture was a mixture of me getting her flowers, gifts, and lastly letting her dress up (which she also loves) to take her out to her favorite restaurant. I was trying to get a picture of her in her dress while waiting for our table, but her happy emotions came out and I think that I prefer this picture over whatever I would’ve captured.

#11 – Interior

This picture is taken inside of the Eppley Auditorium building at Morningside University. This is from the main entrance/lobby to the auditorium, which if you haven’t been, is a long corridor with big glass windows which can be seen in the picture. The corner from where this picture is taken, is my favorite ‘cozy’ place at the university. The furniture being three different colors seems off, but at the same time just right, it fits the aesthetic of the place perfectly, same with the ball-lamps. It is a really clean and simple layout, which is what makes it elegant.

Quick Reflection (from Moodle)

1. How have your thoughts about YOUR photography changed? (Note: I’m assuming there has been change.) Consider how and when you take photos. The subject(s) of those photos. And the quality of the photos. What is new to you and where do you want to improve.

  •  My thoughts about my own photography have changed. I have become more conscious about things such as lines, depth of field, color and so on., before, I would kinda just take a picture and then deal with it instead of trying my best to capture it better in the moment. I still want to improve taking good quality photos, but I am still quite new to it so I am optimistic.

2. Have the readings and discussions changed your thoughts about photography? About photojournalism. Provide a couple of examples if possible.

  • The reading about spot news changed my thoughts on photography big time, it made me gain a lot more respect for the people in the field. The preparation and work it takes for just ‘one’ quick shot is admirable. Also, the section we had about portraits made think about them differently. I’ve always thought about portraits to just be a formal boring picture of a person, never that it could be set-up in a funny/cool way to display more of the personality of a person too.

#8 – College Life

February 12, 2024 / / 0 Comments
For me, an integral part of ‘college life’ is meeting new people and making friends with people from all over. In this picture you can see my good friend and fellow Morningside student, Victor West, who is from Chicago. Like myself, Victor is far from home (not quite as far as me), and it is therefore something we had in common. On his shirt, you can see his favorite rapper, Kanye West, who also is a Chicago native and reminds Victor of home. Another thing we have in common which have made us close, is the love for sports. This picture is taken at the student basketball intramural tournament, in which we played together. Victor is 6’4 which this picture displays well, being taken from a low angle. For me, college is all about making friends, being part of the community, and enjoying everyday, this picture sums that up for me.

#6 – Laboratory

February 9, 2024 / / 0 Comments
Morningside business student and men’s soccer player, Jonas Markfoged, pictured in “the lab” as a part of his road to recovery. As evident in the picture, he has braces on both of his knees as he recently had surgery on both knees. He is still early in his recovery journey, so he is only able and allowed to work-out his upper body at the moment. Throughout his journey to recovery, he will be spending the most of his hours in the gym, his laboratory to better health.

Portrait – Sander

1. The image is well taken in a professional setting and it highlights some of my features, such as the green in my eyes, as well as texture and color of my hair, which gives off my personality well. 2. The picture might seem dark and it could’ve been brighter, which can be edited after the picture is taken. The photographer could’ve instructed me to maybe adjust my shirt to highlight the name of the school/team better.

#1 – Architecture

The beautiful Buhler Outdoor Performance Center in the winter weather. A piece of architecture that isn’t as appreciated as it deserves to be; the glass backdrop, stone monument, and the wooden roof with the curved beams truly is stunning.

#3 – Human Interest

February 1, 2024 / / 0 Comments
This is my girlfriend, Agnes Garder. Like me, Agnes is an international student and she has therefore gotten the chance to do her OPT, which gives her permission to work in the US for a year. Here she is waiting for the bus, as it is the only way she can get to her work. She is working at the non-profit, Mary J. Treglia Community House, which is located in downtown Sioux City. Her passion is to help the people who need it the most, which says all you need to know about her. This picture beautifully, visually describes a beautiful girl (literally and figuratively), in a not so beautiful setting, going out of her own way to help make the world a better place.
