Introduction... yes, this is a boring title...

An introduction would probably be helpful, seeing as this is the first post of a public blog. My name is Julie, and I'm a journalism student who is particularly interested in photography. This blog is an assignment for a class, as I'm sure most of you know, and most of my posts will probably be centered around photography, and interesting (to me, anyway) little tidbits I come across along the way.

I'll start with the assignment from last week, an assignment to take photographs that illustrate the idea of loving food. I'll admit I wasn't particularly good at showing how people or animals love food, mostly because showing the actual habit of eating usually isn't flattering, but I do enjoy taking pictures of the food we all love. My favorite photo from the assignment was a picture of cookies from the Cookie Corner. The view is a little different, the angle is just a little off, and I think it makes a decent photograph.

If I were capable of buying expensive meals I'd experiment to see how appetizing I could make fancy meals look with my new camera. But I'm not, so I'll count this as a good start.
