History of Photojournalism

 Step 1 My friends push me, make me show up My family tells me never to give up  My residents give me a reason to stay My doubters make me never delay All of these reason make me who I am  Even when it comes to a scram I'm proud to say that I am me  I hope I make it and can be free Nursing is not just a job It keeps me from becoming a slob I'll keep going, I'll make them proud, I pray I'll give it my all, try my best every day  Step 2 You said: speak as Obama ChatGPT said: Let me be clear: it’s great to be here. When we come together and share ideas, it reminds us of what’s possible when we all strive for a common purpose. Now, I may not have the same voice or delivery as President Obama himself, but I’ll do my best to capture a bit of that tone, that cadence, that hope . So, whether we’re talking about challenges we face, dreams we hold, or ways we can contribute to a brighter future, let’s remember: Yes, we can! You said: as Obama, give me ten bullet points on...

Option B: Drawing by Nicole Audet 11/13/2024 In this drawing, my goal was to show how two people can look at the same image, but view it differently. Emotions can affect the way we see and take in new information. On the left, I drew a woman who is sad and crying. She views the image in black and white; or dark and dreary. On the right, I drew a man who is happy. He views the image as colorful and bright.  Neither way of viewing the image is right or wrong. People just have different perspectives on life. People view things differently. It doesn't mean they aren't true. Their way of viewing the image is true to them. 

 A. Photo by: Ed Clark B. In this photograph,  I see a man playing the accordion while crying. The people in the background look upset as well. It seems as though they are at a funeral or some other sad event. The title suggests that someone is going home, likely referring to heaven. To me, this photo is beautiful. Everyone is coming together to honor and remember someone they care about. The man playing may be playing for the deceased. As someone who works in a nursing home, I attend a lot of funerals. It is always nice to see when someone plays music, especially if it is that person's favorite song. Unfortunately, I bet this photo sold a lot because it depicts bad news , and bad news tends to sell most.  C.  Black and white : This photo is black and white gives it a dreary saddened feeling. While the image was taken during a time when it could have been colored, keeping it black and white increases the impact it has on viewers. If it were to be more colorful, it wo...

 A/F. Photo by: Nicole Audet 11/4/24 B. Personal Bias -  Personal bias refers to "learned beliefs, opinions, or attitudes that people are unaware of and often reinforce stereotypes. These personal biases are unintentional, automatic, and inbuilt, leading to incorrect judgments" ( Impactly ). Personal biases can be controversial towards ethics, photography, and photojournalism.  C. Personal biases are forms of opinions that can be seen through a photograph within photojournalism. The bias may or may not be obvious to the viewer. The photographer may or may not mean to show their own bias in said photo. Psychology Today explains that " A bias is a tendency, inclination, or prejudice toward or against something or someone". A prime example of this would be by only photographing democrats and no republicans. Another example would be photographing a protest you agree with from the protesting side.  D.  In my personal ethics map, I showcase the values I have such as...

Collage created with "Instantane" by Nicole Audet 10/21/24 By making this collage, my goal was to showcase the connection between photojournalists and elections. I took images from the debate and the storming of the capital, as well as photos of both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. I also created two AI photos to showcase how biases may be foreseen in photographs and added a sign to show my own possible bias within this assignment.  The top left and bottom left photographs show the storming of the capital that occurred on January 6th, 2021. This was a widely covered event by many journalists and news reporters. This was a Republican-dominated event.  The middle left and bottom middle showcase the last debate held on September 10th, 2024. This had both Republican and democratic visitors. This was a publicized event that was shown on TV and reported throughout the country.  The top middle and top right are the two images I created with Leonardo AI. These images display bias...
