About the Contributors
Morgan Harmon, Photographer
Hey! I’m Morgan Harmon, and I am a new photographer for The Journal. As of this year, I’m a sophomore, and am on the soccer and swim teams. I enjoy going to school sporting events with friends to just have a good time. Another thing about myself is I love trying new things whether it’s food or a new sport/club I’ve never done before. I like challenging myself to be more outgoing and have more skills. So this year, I want to try new things like joining the girls lacrosse team or even meeting new people. I’m hoping I have enough time to do everything I want this year while still having fun. Aside from that, my main goal as a newbie on The Journal is to grow as a photographer and always learn something new so I can take better photos. Throughout the year I’d love to build friendships with those on the staff to really make this year fun.
Salem Ortega-Morales, Photographer
Hi! It’s Salem again for the second year in a row, writing another staff bio. I won’t be writing any stories, but instead, I’ll be a full-time photographer (with the exception of writing captions). This year I’ll be a junior, and I could not be more excited to return. Unlike last year, I don’t have my hair dyed anymore and I’m no longer a writer. Photography is something I gravitate more and more everyday, and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. Although I’ll miss writing (only a little), I can’t wait to start a new era. This past year, I’ve met so many people on The Journal who have helped me grow and branch out as an aspiring photojournalist. Despite changing my whole position, not much about me is different from last year. I’m still a Steve Lacy, Tyler the Creator, Arctic Monkeys and The Cure fan. I still have my two cats, and we added one more to the family over the summer. Besides all that, I can’t wait to bring you all this year’s photos, and I’m so glad to have the opportunity of being one of the ones to do so.
