The goal of this assignment is for you to complete a full photo essay of a story that has local appeal, which will be posted to the city magazine website. The first part of the essay will be to come up with the idea and to start writing and photographing it. You will then have over a week to continue to photograph and edit your work. You will then work with your fellow students to edit the work for the final presentation.
The intended audience is the LBCC student community, so the story should be appealing to them. You may come up with a story about LBCC itself, something appealing to college students in general, or something concerning the Long Beach area.
To get you thinking more about composition, you must use a different aspect ratio than the standard 3:2 35mm ratio.
