Louie Palu, an award winning documentary photographer and filmmaker, known for his work examining social political issues such as human rights, conflict and poverty.
Palu showed his latest documentary, “Road Through War” a road trip along the front lines of the war in Ukraine, and talked to the Photojournalism class and first year students about looking at old ideas in a new way, story telling and preparing for reportage in dangerous environments.

First day of Photojournalism I class.
Testing to see if I could recreate a student issue, so with a variable ND filter and you turn just past “Max” seting, the two polarizing elements do funking things.
Photo students from RCC were requested to document Dr. James C. Williamson’s inauguration as the eighth System President for the NC Community Colleges at Richmond Community College.
A couple of my frames just for fun.
A screenshot of a photo group shared by the RCC Marketing department, Congressman Mark Walker read about the RCC photo program in the Our State magazine last month and wanted to see it first hand. With the boss in a lecture out of the department, I got the tour guide role with the school President… Mr. Walker seemed knowledgeable about imaging and interested in what we do. I had a lecture and high school tours so I went in 2 hours early to prep, wished I remembered I was leading the Congressman’s tour when I got dressed that morning!
New photos for my classroom/ PJ newsroom. Photos from graduates of the program since I started and where they work now! Great folks with great jobs, North Carolina State A&T, Carolina Panthers, Fayetteville Observer, Rocky Mount Telegram, Live Storms Media, Winston-Salem Journal, Sports Endeavors and Grand Forks Herald (ND) all represented!

The school drone with the new prop guards after a student flew it into a truck last semester – opps!
