Someone described an image of the mountains as a narrative photo.  This raised the question about whether photos of landscapes could be considered narratives?  First, I think the requirements of "face case" disqualifies photos that don't have people.  For our purposes as photojournalists, our subjects primarily are people.

Someone emailed me a very good question.  She wrote, "I was wondering.. do the "suggested" pictures only have to be in school? Or can they be about anything; even things outside of school?"

Here is my answer:
"That's a good question…see if you can look for photos that might work in the yearbook.  So, photos of LJA students doing sports or extracurricular activities would work.  Some yearbooks have done feature pages on what students do in their free time--at home or in the community.  So, if you can imagine your photos being appropriate for the yearbook, you can describe them."


This question raised a number of other questions.  In particular, how should we answer the unit question.
The unit question is:  Who is part of our community and how do we find out about them?

So, who is part of this community?
What are the boundaries of this community?
Would it be appropriate to include people and places outside of school?  Why or why not?
