Photojournalism Week 1


My name is Kolby and I live in the Willamette Valley. I am a freshman at LBCC. I am majoring in Journalism. I took this photojournalism class to kickstart my career as a journalist or a photographer. I have no experience with cameras other than the one that came with my phone.

I hope to truly understand what it is like to be a journalist. I would like to go through what other journalists tackle. I want to learn the best advice for taking pictures. I hope to get out of my comfort zone, interact with the community and publish articles on important topics.

Hangry Solution: The Answer to Your Hunger Problem

    Established in October 2020, Hangry Solution, a food truck in Lebanon, Oregon is one of the few food trucks in the town. Forming a type of subculture in the small town, the food truck business is an important part of the community.  A customer places an order on a cloudy Friday, December 3, shortly after Hangry Solution opens.      Hangry Solution, founded by Marcie Lindley and Ronda Bennett, former manager and server, respectively, of former Lebanon restaurant Bigfoot Cave, launched this location after it shut down due to the pandemic. They decided to open this location because they needed income and Marcie knows how to cook, something she described as coming naturally for her; so they turned to opening a food truck.

Marcie Lindley poses in front of the Hangry Solutio...
