Black and White
Photography in Today’s World
Digital
photography has taken over as the most accepted and used type of
photography, today, but black and white photography still is meeting
the artists’ needs in specialized photos and in the art world.
Children’s Story
Writing
This busy,
noisy and go, go, go world of the children of today leaves little
time for quiet time and listening to simple stories with a moral
lesson. No longer do most grandchildren listen at the knee of a
grandparent telling stories of past golden days. Grandma Pam’s
stories are written for nap time and bed time and all have a lesson
or moral.
The Journalism and
Photography Program at Iowa Lakes Community College
There is
always a need for good journalists who write the facts, give balance
and let their audience come to their own conclusions. Iowa Lakes
offers the only two-year Journalism and Photography program in the
state of Iowa. Under this umbrella, Iowa Lakes offers a two-year A.S.
degree in Journalism and Photography and a one-year diploma in
Photography alone. |
