Her request threw me into a panic. Do I even have an ethnicity: I wondered. It was like suddenly discovering you might not have a belly button. I tell you, I had to go to the dictionary.

Bersak Submitted to the Department of Comparative Media Studies, School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences on August 11, 2006, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Comparative Media Studies Abstract Like writers and editors, photojournalists are held to a standard of ethics. Each publica- tion has a set of rules, sometimes written, sometimes unwritten, that governs what that publication considers to be a truthful and faithful representation of images to the public. These rules cover a wide range of topics such as how a photographer should act while taking pictures, what he or she can and can’t photograph, and whether and how an im- age can be altered in the darkroom or on the computer.

  • Harton Woods

    Harton Woods

    HARTON WOODS My name is Paige Plant, and I’m a singer-songwriter. I have fourteen paintings to prove it—one for each song I’ve written. Thirteen Möbius strip watercolors where I painted the song’s story on the strip. What can I say? I was good at science back in the day. The fourteenth, done in oil and not on a Möbius strip, depicts the only love song I’ve ever written. Not that I’ve had only one lover or anything—I’m quite attractive in a B+ kind of way—but only one worth an oil painting. Plus, oil makes the other guys, and an occasional girl, work a little harder at pleasing me. Everybody wants a love song written about them; almost everyone wants to see their song in oil. Today, I’m going to meet this guy named John Bustin. He’s older, like pensioned, and, well, from the whisper-whisper out there, he was a decent songwriter in his time. No one that most people would know, but he’s well respected in a few east coast music circles. A buddy of mine saw John’s ad online and set us up. I guess John has this million-dollar recording studio in the woods forty miles west of Boston, and he lets singer-songwriters use it for free if he vibes on their stuff. Who knows, maybe I’ll get a few paintings out of the place if things go well. Watercolors. Not oils. I don’t do the daddy thing. Already have one of those, and he’s great.

    INTERVIEW with JOHN TROAN Interviewed by Ford Risley Conducted Under the Auspices of the Pennsylvania Newspaper Journalists

    INTERVIEW WITH JOHN TROAN Interviewed by Ford Risley Conducted under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Newspaper Journalists Oral History Program Department of Journalism Penn State University 2006 John Troan Interview Risley: This is an interview with John Troan at his home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on August 18, 2005. I guess we’ll get started at the beginning. Tell me when and where you were born. Troan: Well, I was born in the little coal mining town near Scranton, Pennsylvania, called Jessup. And according to the state’s vital statistics bureau, I was born on August 23, 1918, even though my mother insisted it was 1919. Risley: Why did she insist it was 1919? Troan: She said I was not born until after World War I had ended. And that was her recollection. But the midwife who delivered me signed the certificate saying 1918, so I accept that. Risley: Tell me a little bit about your parents. Troan: Well, they were immigrants, from what was then Austria—Hungary, and is now a part of Slovakia. They came into the United States in 1908—same year Bob Hope came in. He came in from England. His friends had preceded him and they told him there were a lot of opportunities in coal mining and steel making. So he elected to come and go into the coal mines—anthracite coal mines in and near Scranton. And then he sent for my mother—told her if the opportunity arose, and he had a job, he would bring her in and he did—brought my mother and my two older sisters here.

The paper introduces the reader to the mechanization and modernization of the tattoo through newspaper articles and secondary sources. Cultural aspects including beauty and its advertising campaigns and the circuses and sideshows which introduced Americans from all walks of life to the tattoo are introduced and studied. The military is the largest aspect of tattoos and their identification with the American patriot; the paper includes several photos of the most popular of design. Other factors including a small excerpt on removal and new techniques that evolve from the tattoo are also discussed.
