No Kings Portland Oregon

 

Another of the police and ICE shooting pepper balls and teargas during the day, before curfew, at children and the disabled, with no warning. 
Me in the spaghetti factory bathroom one of the only businesses letting protesters use they're bathrooms. I actually wanted to say a bit about this. I cannot tell you how surreal and dystopian it feels, to get teargassed and almost shot, to see children be carried out onto stretchers, to bandage my community's wounds and spray saline in they're eyes, and then walk in to a over 20ft mansion with glass chandeliers and golden walls. Young women in tights and dresses serving food on silver platters to people in suits. I cant express how unreal it felt to walk in, in a full IN95 mask and a backpack full of medic aid into what I walked into. Utterly dystopian in a way I can never explain. 
protesters holding signs in the middle of teargas.
Peaceful protesters trying to dodge gas and pepper balls. 





A young woman filling a reusable bucket to distinguish the teargas effectively. The best tactic I've noticed being used in the zone by far. They put traffic cones over the gas then pour water in the top hole. From there as long as you have gloves its easy to carry out and fully distinguish.

What to do if attacked by ICE while peacefully protesting. There's also a 24/7 lawyer hotline if you get wrongfully detained as a peaceful protester.

My Three Photos

Image
 I can't figure out how to edit my first blog so this is my Three Photos haha                  this one I took at the lake was perfectly in the sun and in a branch I took way too many                               and I couldn't stand to delete any of them.                                           This one was about 5AM and already late for work about to hop in the shower and everything was so pink and messy also featuring some indulgences so it felt very bitter sweet in a way and I just thought it was pretty. The last one was obviously taken at LBCC with the event we went too, nothing special just kind of needed a good photo that captured people i think I did it well because everyone is facing the camera, its good quality.

My First Blog

 HI I'm Ashlie I'm studying journalism; I love to read and sad music. I work with disabled children and line cooking. I took this class to give me a better idea of journalism as a whole, I don't have too much experience in photography other than a class i took in freshman year of high school. my three goals are: 1. To try to take more protest photos as i frequent them. 2. to learn to take more accurate and professional photos. 3. hopefully learn somewhat about journalism as a whole.

Moon and White Lies

Image
Going to steal tha moon! in Albany OR near an elementary school.  These were the photos from the white lies party I went to. It was very fun I talked to these girls after I took the photos. in Corvallis the concept of the "white lies" is that you're supposed to write something on your skirt that is obviously a lie.  I love how free these next two photos look. Nothing but dance, sweat, energy and fashion. The girl in the second photo told me her skirt was just 12 scarves tied together.
