Online exhibition

My name is Kathryn Fairbrother and I am a senior, child development major at Meredith College. I was interested in this course because I thought it would be an interesting way to learn about Photoshop and to help out my community. The most valuable part about this course is the connection I have made to those at the shelter and the help that has been given to the animals. I did not expect to learn so much about how to not get so emotionally involved when you are working with animals. My photos can help with the impact of animal overpopulation by showing the public what happens when animals cannot find homes.


This animal was sent to the shelter by a previous owner, I have been able to help him by taking his picture to help get him adopted.

    Reading your post made me think of another aspect about this course that I found valuable- learning how to blog, in general! Developing important relationships with the WCAS employee's certainly enriched my learning experience because I was able to ask important questions and have them answered with legitimacy. I also did not expect to learn how to be emotionally detached from my surroundings at the shelter- I think this is how doctors, nurses and care givers function so well.

    @sweet AnnMarie- I agree- learning how to blog was really awesome.. it made me more interested in blogging and I now have an interested in reading other's blogs.
    @Kiba- I agree with the connection... I didn't think how much more connected I would come and my general awareness as well has grown. I like your image because it has something in the foreground, middle ground, and background. It is a nice composition.

    Good observations Peyton and AnnMarie. This is a good start, but I would love to hear your thoughts expanded. Did this course help you feel less attached to the animals, if so can you explain how? Also, I think one really important aspect of your photos is creating and displaying the animals so that they DO find homes. That is important work!
