JN 134 Intro and favorite photo

My name is Logan Hannigan-Downs, I am currently a freshman at Linn-Benton Community College. I graduated from Philomath High School in 2020 and took a gap year due to Covid-19. My major is undeclared but I plan on majoring in Journalism. I have extensive photography experience and am currently the Philomath News photo intern. I have photographed a variety of sports and events, ranging from AAU Nationals in Houston, Texas, Wildfires in California, and Protests in Portland. Along with a vast array of local sporting events. During the summer of 2021, I served as the Corvallis Knights Team Photographer. 

I took JN134 to start my formal education in photojournalism and receive constructive feedback from trained eyes. My goals for this course are the following: Continue to work on my photography techniques and become a better storyteller through my images. Learn about the ethics of photographing and reporting on breaking events and natural disasters. I also hope to expand my network of connections and eventually get a job or internship with a Newspaper, Wire Service, or College/Professional sports team.

We were asked to pick a favorite photo to attach to this blog. I've always had a hard time choosing a favorite picture. But I am choosing this picture of the Corvallis Knights dogpile at the end of their season after winning their fifth consecutive WCL title. I really like this image due to the emotion it shows from the players. I also like Briley Knight jumping on the pile with his finger raised and his body position related to the dogpile. The water droplets around the pile add a dramatic flair to the image as well. While I am choosing this as my favorite image, I'm not completely happy with it. I wish I had framed it a little better so that the player's feet on the bottom of the pile wouldn't have been cut off. This would've taken a wider lens though, so the next dogpile I cover I'll definitely keep that in mind.

Corvallis Fire and Rescue Responds to Possible Structure Fire near OSU

Parked cars are visible in front of 121 NW 21st as Corvallis Fire Truck 151 is parked facing south on 21st street in Corvallis, Oregon on Wednesday, Sept 29.

At 7:41 pm Engine 131, from Fire Station One, was initially dispatched to a report of a possible structure fire, Truck 151 was also dispatched with the Station One Lieutenant attached to it. Engine 118 arrived and did not see any indication of fire while Corvallis Police evacuated the structure. Truck 151 investigated the initial report of smoke coming from the laundry room in the basement on the Northside of the building. They reported smoke but no active fire.  Engine 132 worked to investigate floors two through four, where they reported a smoke smell on floor two but no fire. Floors three and four were clear shortly afterward by 132. Engine 133 provided RIT to Truck 151, and Engine 125 provided standby medical until 7:51 when they were cleared by the commander to return to service. 

The source of the smoke was found to be a clothes washer that was overstuffed so the drum was not agitating correctly. Engine 151 reported smells of burnt plastic or electrical fire around the washer, they then unplugged the washer from the outlet and pulled it away from the wall. 

All units were clear of the scene by 8:20pm.
