Photo Journalism Assignment

I think this photo best fulfills the assignment because it was a captured scene.  Nothing was set up by me, and almost nothing was changed by me.  I'm not sure if it counts as photo journalism still if the people in the photo are noticing me as the photographer and looking at me, but I sort of like how some people are completely unaware and a few people are looking at me.  In this photo I also like how there is light coming from the back of the room, and the front of the room but the middle is slightly darker.

Portrait Assignment

I chose this picture because I think it's my strongest for this assignment.  It doesn't have a person in it, but I would say it has a personality in it.  I like this picture because it displays someone who uses their cell phone a lot, and might be known as someone who "can't live without it".  This photo also has a simply, solid background which I am happy about because then the viewer really knows what to look at, and they really know what the photo is about.  If I could retake this photo, I would move the camera up so that there is a relatively equal amount of space above the cell phones, and below the cell phones because right now it feels a little top heavy to me.
