Photojournalism in my Future

My goal for the future is to make sure I become successful for each thing that I do and what I mean by that is that I will have certain responsibly that I will take and I hope I can get through each of them as they come to me and I will become better at them when the time comes when I have to take that responsibly. But as for photographer there are times when I am going to take photo's and use the knowledge and skill I have learned in class to take a good photo of people or if it's part of my job I will take my time and remember what I learn in class to help me in certain times when I use a certain kind of camera that I have. But my job in the future may be a little different then what I think about for photojournalism but it just all depends on how my future becomes that makes it depend on what I have to do for my own job.

Sports Action Photo

Photo 1 
Once I posted on my photo j I used photoshop to make designs for my photo and I used pica at 30 and 42 and choose this for my photo because it goes exactly like it said on the blog

Photo 2
next is the subject moving the other way then the first photo as I have it on the same pica's as photo 1 and made it how it should be as it said on the blog
Photo 3
This one is blurry and I and painting there isn't that much in the photo because of the photo being blurry but it's the same pica's and I couldn't really have much color other then the lighting to make it bright
Photo 4
What I have for my last photo is the photo is mostly blurry and the subject standing and holding the sports ball in her hands while I took the photo myself and it's still the same pica's as the other photo's and I couldn't have it in black and white because I was thinking that it would be to dark to see

Winner
Bloomberg Businessweek, Oct. 10-16, 2011 "Steve Jobs 1955-2011" 

(Credit: Getty Images)
The editors’ description of the cover: "Official word of Steve Jobs' death reached Bloomberg Businessweek as the staff of over 40 was finishing a regular issue. They scrapped it and spent all night finalizing this special issue. In choosing a cover, editor Josh Tyrangiel said, ‘what we wanted to find was something that you hadn't seen before, something original, and yet something that had a little bit of tension in it.’ Tyrangiel concludes, ‘I think what we found and the way we cropped it really gets at the complicated, sometimes abrasive genius behind all the products that the world admires.’"

This photo is one that I just found and to tell you what I see on the cover is just fine with me and putting the face of the person makes it to me even  with the color of it being white and gray for the moment it should be out as a magazine this could be communicated as a man who can invent is going to be missed as though his death had just happened to him soon than someone expected and this cover could be communicated also as for who he is and what he will be remembered as through the times this magazine is out the lighting shows how more his death is and so does his exposure  for how he will be missed
