Just a few images I liked from my first photo story. Not my actual edit. Maybe one of these days I'll learn....

Deadline

2009-10-19T13:24:00.000-07:00

Photo from the Deadline assignment. We had a little over an hour to go out and find an image. After wandering around for 50 minutes in the pouring rain I stopped by Union Street Diner and got this. I know the focusing is a bit off, but my viewfinder was so fogged up I could barely see. No excuses, I know.

I will update this more now. Promise.

Here's just some feature/general newsey photos from this week.

Back In Athens

2009-09-10T15:05:00.000-07:00

Just a quick portrait for The Post.

More to come.

2009-07-28T20:41:00.001-07:00

Sorry for neglecting you blog. Here is a quick update of a few shots I took of the Violet Festival for the paper.
....Annnnnnnnd, as a whole I need to start shooting more.

2009-07-09T15:34:00.000-07:00

So, I haven't been shooting as much as I should be this summer... but I have created a blog for an ongoing story I've been working on.

Input is greatly appreciated!

Final Portfolio

2009-06-14T18:09:00.000-07:00

So this is my final portfolio for 390. I'm not sure if I picked the right images.... I have difficulty editing my own work sometimes. But it's been a great year. I've learned a ton, met some great people and can't wait to come back to OU in the fall. Hopefully I can improve even more this summer and continue to work on some cool stories!

Just a few randoms....

Long Overdue

Sorry it's been forever. I almost forgot about you.

First attempt at a photo story

2009-03-11T17:21:00.001-07:00

Dave and Diane Smart have been running Smart Barbershop on 23 West Washington Street for 23 years. Their clients are extremely loyal and most refuse to get their hair cut anywhere else. One of the main draws to Smart Barbershop is it's traditional and classic look. This faithful devotion from their clients has helped them stay in business for so long.

Warm weather has been wonderful. Can't wait till Spring.

Quick update

2009-03-03T22:19:00.000-08:00

I've been feeling like I'm constantly moving and busy lately. I guess that's a good thing?. . . If I don't die from stress.

But it was nice seeing my friends from OSU last weekend.

. . .and I started my photo story. So maybe things are starting to look up? I'll post those pictures later.

Warshington DC

2009-02-24T19:51:00.000-08:00

So the yearbook photo staff took a trip to D.C. over the weekend. We got to watch the judging of the White House News Photographer Association Contest at National Geographic . It was neat to see their process of picking the winners...I was really surprised how easily they tossed out what I thought were amazing images.

Oh hey Pete and AP Editor.

Didn't really have too many opportunities to shoot though. And I have a "wild card" assignment due for 222 tomorrow with nothing to turn in. It's actually pretty sad. I really should be shooting more.

On that note.... anyone have an idea for a photo story? I'm kind of stuck on this one.

Busy Busy Busy

2009-02-12T23:15:00.000-08:00

It seems like I've been crazy busy lately. I can't wait until I can slow down and breathe again. I'm just not sure when that will be.....

Some shots from Sibs weekend:

And finally, thanks for helping me with my camera. (I still want a D700 though. Just sayin')

2009-02-01T18:05:00.000-08:00

So, I own a Canon 40 D and have always shot with Canon, but I checked out a Nikon D700 yesterday and it was amazingggggg. It just makes me think even more that there is something seriously wrong with my camera. (The focusing on it is awful. Does anyone know how to fix that? At one point Joel did something to it so it back focused? and it worked fine for awhile, but not so much anymore. Please help =( )

Amanda and I trying to get our praying assignment done. Didn't work out so well. We went to about 5 different churches with no luck.

I didn't realize how many churches there are in Athens though. Maybe no one is aware and that's why we couldn't find anyone praying.

Oh well.
I probably could have found a decent shot if I wasn't such a pansy about approaching people.

Oklahoma

2009-01-29T16:03:00.000-08:00

So I went to Oklahoma last weekend to see my brother graduate from flight school.
.......There is nothing in Oklahoma.

Clearly excited to be there.

The only cool part of Oklahoma that I saw was Oklahoma City. We went to the OK City bombing memorial which was really beautiful. The reflection pool lays where the office building used to stand, and to the right there are rows and rows of empty chairs signifying the people who died in the bombing.

It's just sad that so many people died here, including about 20 children. The fence on the outside of the memorial was covered in memorabilia from the people that died. There were stuffed animals, dolls, necklaces, notes, flowers. It's scary to think that you could be anywhere, like at work in an office building in probably the most boring state there is, and something like this could happen.

But enough of me being morbid. Everything in my life seems to be going pretty well lately.

First Post?

2009-01-28T15:36:00.000-08:00

So I'm not sure how this whole blogging thing goes, but I guess I'll give it a try.
Today was nice. We had a snow day.
I always like when I get to shoot because I want to, not because I have to. I need to start shooting more outside of assignments.
