Because I love photography, I think a project based around
photographing the news could be interesting. Though I’ve take a ton of pictures
over time, I rarely set out in an attempt to do so in a photojournalistic
manner. For the project, I would pick an
area, like Portsmouth or campus, and spend a few days photographing everything newsworthy.
I would post them all on a blogger or word press site. I wouldn’t include
captions or any background. I would rely completely on a series of carefully
composed pictures to tell the stories. I can’t think of a publication that does
anything exactly like this and if done well, I think it could turn out to be another way to successfully portray news. There would be an area for viewers to post comments and feedback on
anything posted, and as the reporter, I could clear up anything that wasn’t made
clear enough through pictures. A project like this would be great practice on
taking the clear, effective pictures.
