Shadowing Assignment De La O

The purposes for this assignment was to get an inside look on the photographers’, Ashleigh or Jacob, on what they do. The great thing about this assignment was that there was a challenge. It has been only my second day using this camera, and during shooting the lights were off during the action of the event.

            The photographer that I shadowed with was Jacob Beltran, and he helped me by learning to fix the exposure especially because we were in the dark. He also helped me by getting to know the camera itself a little more. I know we learned it in class, but the assignment was a great opportunity for me to get a better understanding. It was also early in the morning around nine a.m.

            The reason for the event was to present and host a film called, The Central Park Five, by one Texas A&M San Antonio’s History Professor Dr. William Bush. It was located at Texas A&M’s Main Campus in room 204-207 in the Main building.

             It was not only assisting Jacob that was interesting, but the movie as well. It was until after me and Dianna was done that we got to watch the movie. This assignment brought greater interest to me in journalism. The movie gave little previews how journalism/media could impact people’s views at home. It affects people in general in a massive way. So that was a bonus lesson learned from the assignment. I would again like to thank Jacob Beltran for helping me and commend him on his dedication to Photo Journalism.
