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. Post-high school, since there are still many restrictions I have yet to do much outside of the house. Luckily schooling moved to a remote setting with online meetings it gave me something to do. 


    I have lived in Oregon all my life, currently in Lebanon but I have lived in Albany as well. Personally, I did not want to move away from my life that I had in Albany, I feel so distant from everyone but luckily I still get to see my friends and family. 

    

GOALS FOR JOURNALISM:

1. Be Successful

2. Learn a lot and as much as I can about Journalism!

3. Learn some Photography skills

4. Experience all that I can with this class

5. Most importantly, have fun!


Week 1 Photos: 


Even though I live far from everyone, I can never beat the view that I get to see every night from my room.

Beautiful stars my Girlfriend Kaitlynn drew with chalk with Spring/Summer weather on the way it was nice to enjoy the weather for once.


I get to enjoy the company of my adorable niece Carson Rae whom I watch for roughly an hour everyday. She is just a ball of joy.

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/

There is nothing better than the Spring weather hyping everyone up for the long awaited Summer time! Although Spring is gorgeous and just the right temperature, I personally cannot wait for the upcoming hot summer. After being cooped up inside for the longest time due to COVID I am excited to finally get back out side and just feel the warm heat and calm wind keeping it just the right temperature. This week, I followed my Father and his Cousin Casey and his friend Reid to Trysting Tree Golf Course over in Corvallis!                    It was such a Gorgeous day at Trysting Tree, although Windy It made for a great day of 18-holes                                                                                     Monday,  April 12,  2021    Been a long time since we have both golfed, so Dad had to warm up a little bit on the Range!
