Photojournalism Lesson


Self Shot of Me

Chinatown Yellow Line Stop

The professor spoke about an expert in the area named W. Eugene Smith. The guy documented such controversial things as the KKK, the Minimata mercury poisoning incident in asia, WWII, and many others. You can read more information about the guy if you like by Clicking Here. He also was a master of composition and exposure control. The professor really thinks he is best at manipulating images without the digital age.

Ricky was invited to return as it turns out he has a fan base that wanted him to come again. The crowd was not big but the energy was good. Tomorrow I have plans to go downtown for a shoot with the photography meetup group. Ron is letting me help organize. It should be fun, weather permitting. It does look like the rain is done. I am not like the typical native who likes the rain. I came here for the sun. Not the charming people 🙂

I took a little trip to the OC and visited Laguna Beach. It was perfect weather seeing as it is February and should be winter. I took my friend Edna with me. He is an intellectual type that keeps my mind going. He can be redundant about things sometimes, but he makes a good companion.

I had a very nice evening with Manny Torres and Jeremy Hall. I had met Manny a year ago when he was a guest at the show. And I had met Jeremy a year ago when he came for the GayVN awards. He recently relocated here from Vancouver, Canada and is living at a place in the downtown area. I still have not heard from the guys at x3fraternity.com and am curious if they plan on speaking with me or not. Scott mentioned they are scheduled for some more appearances. Thus they should be prepared to be photographed and settle this previous legal matter.
