Photography of the week- - Liam Spencer


 Steve McCurry Photo 
Robert Dinero. New York City, 2010 
This was my favorite photo taken by Steve McCurry. He does a ton of mugshots it's like his main preference on photos by how he takes them and even if you look up Steve that's all you'll see. Just outstanding mugshots. The reason why I picked this photo is because out of all the people he takes photos of, it's never really anyone famous. The fact that he took a photo of famous actor Robert Dinero really makes me like the photo a whole lot more because of the fact that I know Dinero. One of the best actors of all time and Steve was able to capture this really good shot of him. I just like how all I see is just random people McCurry takes mugshots of so when I see someone, I know it almost makes me relate to it because I know Dinero. I love how McCurry takes his mugshot and how clear they turn out, its a truly beautiful photo and I'm glad I chose this photo out of all of the other photos Steve McCurry has taken.

 Hi, my name is Liam Spencer. I still am undecided on my major even though I'd like to get my bachelor's degree in criminal justice, the reason why I'm "Undecided" is because Linn-Benton doesn't allow that to be a major. I took this class because I wanted to be able to take an Art class In-person because I am not the best learner online. It is easier for me to focus when it is a face-to-face class. Not only that but the class did seem interesting to me, and I am excited to get started.  Besides getting a good grade in this class some goals I have are too, gain some experience on taking photos. As a basketball player I would always love when a great photographer would come to my games and take photos of me on the court. I also want to learn how to take a good photo rather than just a normal photo, like what are the best angles and close ups and pictures from a far that would look really well. Lastly, I want people to know that I can take a good photo and I have

Photos on the job - Liam Spencer

Kevin Sanchez putting in the work to make sure he gets his schoolwork done. He had to make sure he had a nice warm brew to keep him focused. Kevin is in photojournalism class working on his assignments and getting the work done in the classroom. Mr. Sanchez is a student athlete here at Linn-Benton as he is on the basketball team.    Linn-Benton Basketball star (Kamana Lapina) working on his schoolwork. Showing the hard work and dedication he puts into the classroom. True inspiration. Lapina is getting his math homework done as he hopes to get a good grade in the class. Getting his homework done, studying for tests, is what the student athlete does to make sure he earns a good GPA here at LBCC.  Although this photo does not involve the persons face, I like how the angle of the photo turned out.

  My teammate (Mesziah Ford) shooting a jump shot during warm-ups. As I had a talk with Ford, he was telling me about how he wants to have a good freshman season and how he is the only member in his family to play a college sport. He really takes pride in that as he is ready to suit up for the Roadrunners this season.                     Oregon State vs. Utah before game time the band practicing their halftime routine.
