My First Blog Post

Hi, my name is Avery Spikerman and I am currently a Psychology major at Linn Benton Community College. I am also a student athlete and I am a part of the Women's Basketball team here at LB. One thing I really like to do is take photos of sporting events, but more importantly basketball games. I also enjoy taking photos of nature, whether that be on a hike, road trip, or the sunsets. 

My Mom has been a photographer for over 20 years and I really look up to her and her passion for photography. Therefore all of my goals are based on my ability to help her with her photo shoots. 
1.  I want to become really good at using Lightroom/photoshop, to then be able to edit photos that her and I take together, to make her job easier, or ones of my own. 
2. I want to be able to use a camera and know how everything works. For example all of the settings and in particular, what setting I need to be in depending on the photos I want to achieve.
3. overall I just want to be a better photographer and really work on my skills when it comes to taking action photos of sports. 

One of my favorite trips I went to was Mexico and it was so beautiful and interesting to see the lifestyles and culture there. With my passion for basketball, I took this photo of the local basketball court that was in the middle of the city, right on the beach.
