Week 2 Photos

    Hello Everyone, welcome to my week two blog post for my Intro to Photojournalism class. I think I'm starting to get a better handle not only on the idea of how to take good photos, but also the way I need to change my perspective on life. This week was a really great experience for me inside and outside the classroom. On Wednesday this week I got to attend two great event's on Linn Benton Community College(LBCC) campus. The first event I was lucky enough to attend was Coffee and Conversation. This is an event put on by LBCC to encourage students and faculty to engage in conversation about a number of topics. 

This photo depicts both faculty and students engaging in conversation.

    

    The second great event I got to attend on Wednesday this week was the blood drive being conducted by Red Cross on LBCC campus. This event allows students who may not know how to donate blood to not only donate blood, but can also gain great information on how to continue donating blood.

Dirt Road Brewery a Photo story

 Dirt Road Brewing a Photo story by Clayton Lynch and Evan Finley      Dirt Road Brewing is a local brewery/pub located at 13th and main downtown Philomath, OR. Since 2019, Dirt Road has been serving the community fresh  artisan pizza and a wide variety of in-house brewed beer. Despite spending the majority of its time open under COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, Dirt Road is thriving, expanding and has become a Philomath staple. Dirt Road opened its doors to the public in August of 2019, but founder Chuck Cox has been brewing beer for quite a while. It all started in his garage with a home brew kit. Overtime, the brewing system in Cox’s garage grew larger and more advanced as the positive feedback from friends and family grew. Cox says opening the pub was a part of the natural progression. Before Cox started Dirt Road he was a builder and contractor, as most of the operations of the brewery and pub have been taken over by his head brewer and staff, Cox continues ...

About Me!

 Hello Everyone,  Welcome to my first ever blog post! This is a very new and confusing experience for me because I've never had to write a blog before, and truth be told my head has been spinning for the past week thinking about what I would write. Then it hit me like a slap in the face, you all have no idea who I am, so for this first blog post I will share a little bit about myself. My name is Clayton and I'm currently what you would describe as a sophomore at Linn Benton Community College. I am perusing a Associate Art of Oregon Transfer Degree(AAOT) with a focus in criminal justice. Now just because someone is a criminal justice major does not mean they don't have any photography experience, but that isn't true for my case. This lack of experience is what make me so nervous to take part in the Intro to Photojournalism class. However, that is exactly why I wanted to take the class. I wanted to push myself past my comfort zone because the only place you can learn anyt...

  The historic Albany Carousel is a project long in the making. Officially it started carving the animals featured on the carousel back in June 2003, and didn't officially finish until August 2017. Albany Carousel is still a relatively new addition to down downtown Albany, OR being located at 503 W 1st Ave. The Albany Carousel's goal is not only to offer another fun attraction to downtown Albany, but is also there to bring more visibility to the beautiful art these carvers create. Currently the carousel holds a variety of carved animals including dragons, lions, bears, and a 7ft tall giraffe. Overall, the carousel has 41 animals but plans to bring that total up to 52 in the near future.  Pictured above is Rod Bigner. Rod Bigner and his wife are the owners of a small town movie theater located in Albany, OR called the Pix Theater. While, this theater may be seen and described as a tiny theater, this couldn't be further from the truth if you talk to any Albany, OR resident. D...
