Topic 1 NPPA Code Of Ethics: In the code of ethics piece of our textbooks on chapter 15, I found that number eight is the most compelling. It says "Do not to accept gifts, favors, or compensation from those who might seek to influence coverage." I think this is so compelling to me because I can't understand why people would do something like this in the first place. Stick to what you are doing/covering and don't let others influence that. For the list under ideally, photojournalists should...what stands out most to me is number five. It states "Strive to be unobtrusive and humble in dealing with subjects." This, I believe; is very important! It's always a great thing to treat others with the utmost respect, even if you don't agree with their ideas or opinions on whatever may be brought up. You are no better than anyone else. We are all just as imperfect and human. Also it's good when taking photos to not stand out. It's best when you can be as discreet as possible and are more "in the background" so to speak. Your subject should be the one to stand out. A good example would be when going to take a photo to focus on whatever/whoever your subject is and make them the main focus of that particular photo. Not necessarily in the center of the photo but being shown in a way that makes them stand out the most. If there are other things in the background they don't have to be blurred out but maybe not as "in focus." Be creative with it!
Topic 2 Favorite Photos: For two photos I appreciate of other people in the class I chose Dylan's mug shot photo it was a great close up shot and had a very detailed discription. I also really enjoyed Skyla's Oregon State University sorority picture, it had a very detailed description and was a really great close up as well. Photos below!!! :) They look awesome you guys!!!
