  Josh Haner is a Staff Photographer and Senior Editor for Photo Technology at The New York Times... Haner started in 2004 at Fortune Magazine, 2 years later in 2006, he moved up to The New York Times as a photographer, editor, and producer of many projects. Josh Graduated from Stanford University with a Bachelor in Arts in Studio Art and a Bachelors in Science  in Symbolic Systems.  All of his work is very well journaled and I enjoyed looking at all his stories, his website holds all of the big and small works of photojournalism. In 2014 Josh Haner won the Pulitzer Prize in Feature Photography for his photo essay about Jeff Bauman, Bauman was a bomb blast victim from the Boston Marathon bombing. 'Beyond the Finish Line' followed Jeff Bauman who lost both his legs due to the Boston Marathon Bombing and Haner got the opportunity of photographing the adventure of Jeff walking again. There have been tons of incredible headlining New York Time Papers: http://www.joshhaner.com...

Week 5:

#SaveTheBees There are a lot of reason why need to the save the bees. Bees are very important for our ecosystem. Not just ours, tons of animals in the wild require the work bees do to our world. Their pollination is very important to flowers, nuts, and even fruits. Bees need our help, if they die out then the world will be in more chaos then it is now. It isn't likely that they will just randomly die out, but we need to ensure their safety. If we give them the push they need, then the bees are capable of reproducing to the point of a group of those bees can branch off of their colony and adventure off and continue to grow on their own and make more branches to brake off. I got the chance to view local beekeepers while they put bees in their new homes. A bee breeder gave them 8 new swarms for their hives to be given the home they need to survive. Did you know, Bees can travel up to 3 miles from their home without getting lost allowing a wide range of flowers that can be pollinated.

Week 1: Hello Journalism

INTRODUCTION:     So it begins... Hi, Good Morning, Good Evening, and welcome to Riley Rambles. My name is Riley Goff and I am a 19 year old College student looking into Journalism for the fun and the adventure of sharing the happenings of Albany and other various things.     I graduated from West Albany High School last August. Due to the COVID restrictions the entire class of 2020 had to wait to graduate until some restrictions were lifted for all of the students and their families to come together for one last time.
