The photos on this Blog were taken as part of a summer independent study class at North Idaho College. The project was to photograph events from May through August, 2010, for the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe. Special thanks to Jerome Pollos, my instructor, Marc Stewart, Public Relations Director for the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe, and Phil Corlis of NIC for setting up this class and handling all the administrative stuff. I am grateful for the opportunity these three folks and the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe made possible for me this summer!

The entries below act as a learning journal and contain my feedback to my instructor, Jerome, on my various assignments and tasks throughout the entire course. His and other comments can be found in the comments section below each post. Everything is unedited and completely intact the way it was on the last day of class, July 28th, 2010, except for the Feast of Assumption section which I was asked to shoot for the Coeur d'Alene Tribe after my class was over. This section was added afterwords to completely represent my summer photography efforts.

PLEASE NOTE: Some photo sets unrelated to the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe have been included and were used as instructional tools along the way. These were situations where I went along with Jerome as he shot photos for the Coeur d'Alene Press newspaper.

The first section below is my final portfolio. Everything below that is arranged from newest to oldest, so everything is in reverse order by date.

Please feel free to take a look and leave me some comments. I would love to hear from you!

Westside Rendezvous - Kids Carnival

Too bad I chopped off the top of the head of the little girl at the top of the water slide with the pink bathing suit on.  Had I not done so, I think it would have been my keeper out of this whole set.  I tried to get as close as possible before using the zoom on the lens.  I also like the first two photos of the rock climbers.  The second one of the girl I think could be cropped more closely but I like it as is.  The photo of the boy rock climber is a diagonal composition therefore the rock wall is not straight but I think it works none the less.

    The shot of the kid coming down the slide screaming is nice as well as the one where you "chopped" her head. But I think that one still works even though it's a little tight. It has a nice moment, good motion and a nice, light mood to it. The rock climbers don't don anything for me. The one with the girl is almost there, but there's not enough of a moment there for me.
