Welcome everybody. For our first week, we started off looking at photos from recent news and their impact. Pictures we looked at primarily included: an image of U.S. Senate assistants carrying ballot boxes by Caroline Brehman; Leah Millis of Reuters photo of the Capitol draped in smoke; Ashley Gilbertson's photograph of Capitol Police Officer Goodman diverting rioters; and several from Associated Press photographer Andrew Harnik.
Next, we looked briefly at the history of photography. In the following weeks we will discuss several aspects of photography so you can take better pictures.
