  Thursday, October 15, 2020, the birds are out and playing. This goose has many ducks following it around as it swims and walks around. This duck pond in Albany, Oregon is home to many ducks and geese. On this shady October afternoon, there are not many people out. Jonathon Landers is fishing on this cloudy Sunday afternoon, October 18, 2020. A fellow student of Linn Benton Community College, he is using his weekend off of school to enjoy nature and do some fishing. The duck pond seems like a good place to start the week. October 15, 2020, the ducks are enjoying each other's company. The swim in close groups, creating ripples in the water.

Who am I? How is College? Abby Johnson. My passions in life is creating joy for others and music. The college life is interesting so far, I didn't think I would have so much work to do right off the bat. It's different than high school, but a good different. Due to the virus, all of my classes are online, which I don't mind as much as not being able to make friends. I think online is actually better than in person. However, I like interacting with people.  How is my Family Dealing with Quarantine? My family is handling the situation well. My dad is a nurse and takes care of covid-19 patients, so we have to be very cautious about social distancing and staying in-doors. Luckily no one in my family has been infected.  What is my major? Do I Like LBCC? I don't have an official major yet, but I am looking in to journalism. I like writing, I like politics, I like gathering information, and I want to travel the world.

 Hello! My name is Abby Johnson, I am a freshman at Linn-Benton Community College. I am taking Photojournalism because I am looking into becoming a journalist. However photojournalism intrigued me because I figured that even if I change my major and want to look into something else, this class would still be helpful to me and it would be a fun experience.  I haven't had much experience with photography or photojournalism, but as a kid I would take pictures all the time wherever I went. It was a big passion of mine, and it is still something I find very interesting. I am hoping that this class will help me develop some skills with the camera and creates some insight into how to be a good journalist. Three goals I have for this class is to make friends, shoot interesting and introspective pictures, and learn more about photojournalists and their pictures. I'm very excited to see this blog and my photo Instagram page grow and show my growth! (Instagram page: @_abby.lbcc.photos_)
