They won their first game earlier today, but the next game will test their skills. Kiekhoefer is about to go through is normal stretching routine to loose before the game starts.   Triple Threat's game is about to start in less then10 minuets. Triple Threat's coach David Flemmin is giving a motivation pregame speech to all the players on the team. He says that they had a great first game in the morning, and they should strive to come out of the game and play like they did last game. He also says that, If they play like how they did last game, they can compete with any 5th grade team.  Both teams just finished doing layup lines, shooting, and getting warm for the game.  Coach Flemmin tells the his team tha

  The photographer I chose to do my photographer of the week project on is Neil Leifer. Neil Leifer is one of the top sports journalists of all time, maybe even the best sports journalist of all time. He is known for taking photos of many famous athletics like Kareem Abdul Jabber, Willie Mays, Carl Lewis, Jackie Joyner Kersey, and Julies Erving. However, his favorite subject to take photos of was Muhamad Ali. He was Born on December 28,1942, in New York, NY, and he is currently 76 years old. He was a photo journalist for over 50 years, and he started when he was a teenager. He was introduced to photography by the Henry Street Settlement House when he was only 13 years old. His first job was a freelance reporter for Sports Illustrated in 1960. His photo work would frequently show up in big time national magazine companies like Saturday Evening Post, Look, Newsweek, Time, LIFE, and of course Sports Illustrated. In 1972 he became a staffer at Time magazine. In

Say far in the book "It's what I do," by Lynsey Addario what I love about it is here way to adapt to different cultures, and people. In the book so far she has traveled to Argentina, and Cube. She adapts to the people there so well, it's almost like the people that live there think she's one of them, and mind you that these people are living in very poor places. They barley have any close, barley any food or clean water, and they are living in war zones. Her kindness does help in her favor in these situations though. She is a very trustworthy person to, she respects the soldiers, and if someone doesn't want to be in a photo she wont take photos of them. Most of the time the soldiers don't care if they have their photo took.

1) I might do my basketball coach Everett Hartman. He runs the advance basketball class at LBCC, and retired this year from being the head coach or LBCC. He is running the class to also see any athletes that he feels can make the LBCC team for next year. I would shoot pictures of him in the gym, with a basketball. 2) I might do Dalton Liesse who is an incoming freshman basketball commit for LBCC. He is in the advanced basketball class here at LBCC, and he is looking forward to playing next year for the LBCC basketball team. I would shoot pictures of him in the gym, possibly with a uniform on if I can get one, and him with a basketball. self critique: 1) The best photo I have took for the class is my close up shot I took of Joehnis Joyce. That's my best picture to me because I love hoe clear it is, and his face jus pops out. 2) The worst picture I have post on my blog so far is the one I took of Rachel Pearce-Smith. It was a clear photo, but I edited it because ther

Photo curtesy of Nico Wolff  What I really like about this photo that Nico Wolff took was the timing of the photo. He was at the perfect place, at the perfect time to capture a photo like this. It's not everyday you see a man balancing on a wire. What I also like about this photo is that there is so much to it. Why is he balancing on the wire, who is he, does he do this for fun, does he try to balance on other things, does he do this for some kind of training etc.?

1) The city I'm going to be shooting photos in is Vancouver Washington. the reason I am going to be taking photos of Vancouver is, I'm from Vancouver. So I know the town well. 2) One idea I'm thinking of is to take a picture of this sign once you enter Vancouver. It says "Welcome to Vancouver Washington." The problem is, It's on the freeway, and I'm not sure if I can go park on the side and walk up and take photos. Another idea I have is, if it's not raining this Saturday, I'm going to be taking photos at the Saturday market. The Last idea I have is having one of my friends stand next to some of the statues in downtown Vancouver. 3) The photo that will be the most challenging for me to take is definitely the sign that says "Welcome to Vancouver Washington." It's going to be a challenge because the sign is on the freeway. My idea I have for my photo story is, "The life of a student athlete." I will be covering
