Photo Critique:

This is a featured photograph by Arjun Purkayastha taken in Beijing, China during the construction of the 2008 Olympics. I love the photographer's focus on the hard hats. It is a unique shot that the photographer seems to want us to see the silliness of the clashing of the crowd of suits and their bright orange hard hats. I like that he included the construction machines in the background and that they are slightly out of focus, but clear enough to recognize what they are.

Photo essay: Linn-Benton Construction

Out of the 23,821 student that enrolled in at least one class at Linn-Benton Community College in 2005-2006, five thousand of them enrolled in a science class. Voters have established the need for a science and health building that will certify Linn-Benton for a silver certification from Leadership in Energy and Design. The new "green" building will be energy, water, and atmosphere efficient consisting of a dual flush toilet system saving 20% more water, low heat absorbing roof, and solar power voltaic windows. The construction work is not far under way as walls are to put up next month and classes for students will be open in 2010. A conceptual art drawing is shown above illustrating the completion of construction courtesy of Linn-Benton .Visit the Administrative office for more information about the Science and health construction project. These pictures were taken March 6 and 11.

Photo Critique: Portriats

Randy Herron was my model for my portrait shots last term in my Introduction to Photography class. I love this series of pictures because he expresses himself differently in each one. And the viewer can get a real good idea of the light-hearted fun guy he really is.(Nov. 2009).
