Normal Life

Every day around 11am, a group of turkeys attack my neighborhood mailman, surrounding his car and making so much noise that it’s impossible not to hear them, even if you live a block over. 

Avery Hall, a freshman at Baker Web Academy, continues online classes, as if the virus never happened. Every morning, she gets up at 8 am to start her classes. Her school never took a break for the virus because they never had to learn how to adjust to the online learning atmosphere. 


Quarantine might have changed everyone’s routine and it might have changed everyone’s goals and plans, but it definitely didn’t change my wardrobe! :) (yes I am aware that I have a lot of denim. I can’t help it.)

Marketing In the News: Google Classroom Users Doubled as Quarantines Spread At first glimpse, this article looked like it held all the necessary ingredients to a great marketing story. I chose this subject because it's a current issue and its relevance applies to me, as well as every other student who is dealing with this virus outbreak. While I was scrolling through Bloomberg, I saw several other articles relating to online schooling or Zoom updates.

Photo Story: Mike Dixon

Image
Mike Dixon has been the pastor of Albany Missionary Baptist Church for about 25 years or so. I chose to use him as the subject for my photo story because people really only see him for his pastor role unless they know him quite well. I chose to take this opportunity to get a look into his day-to-day life when he’s not behind the pulpit. When he’s not hunting or hiking or preaching, he is sitting in his chair with his dog at his feet, watching a U of O basketball or football game.  Due to Covid-19, Dixon has been under a lot of stress in the event that he has continuously tried every solution to make it possible for the church to meet. He goes to the building every day and teaches to sets of 10 people for 45 minutes each. He is there from 8am to 7pm every Sunday in order to get through every group of ten people until the church is allowed to meet again in full capacity.  Mike absolutely loves hunting. He hunts all over the place, mainly Eastern Oregon. About three days
