Assignment #5 Motion

For this assignment, our job was to capture motion, so I thought it would be a perfect time to shoot some fire poi spinners, here is some of the take:

Pictured above on Wednesday, Feb. 23 is 20-year-old Jordan Oberlindacher, a WWU student and poi club member, with the unusual capability of spinning fire. He picked up the hobby of fire poi over a year ago after watching a friend spin and becoming, “transfixed with the motion”. Months of practicing in the confined space of a dorm room with a make-shift sock for poi have turned his skills into sheer excellence. Jordan makes frequent appearances to spin at WWU’s Drum circle which occurs every Monday for those interested in seeing.

Assignment #4

For this assignment, our task was to capture "honest emotion" and this is a bit of what i came up with:

Chelsea Poppe, 20-year-old WWU student, and actress rehearsing her character in, "The Rabbit Hole" before the final night of the play.

Everyone dreads the dentist when their sweet tooth doesn't feel so sweet anymore. My mouth can vouch for it too in the photos above where my cavity is being treated by Dr. Samiramis Sando of Bright Now Dental (pictured the in last photo), located in Bellingham off Meridian.

Assignment #3

For this assignment we were to take pictures of people in their natural environment, this could include their work, play, art, anything that helps tell more of the story about our subjects. This is a bit of what I stumbled upon.

Juliana De Groot poses Tuesday night during her DJ shift at KUGs 89.3 FM.
Juliana has been a working for KUGs for two years. Her latest creation is her own show entitled, “Let’s Stay Friends.” The show is a quirky mix of, “art punk, experimental, and noise music,” and can be heard every Tuesday at 10 p.m. till midnight.
“It gets really noisy in here,” she explains with a grin. “Pretty much I get to play really spazzy music. It’s fun! No one else plays it!”
