1 Quarter Down....2 to go!!!

It has been forever since I last wrote. This time, I have a pretty good excuse, though! This is my senior year of college and I just finished my final photography course…the hardest one to date.

During the course we had to think of…and execute 4 projects. The first was a test run….but the other 3 were hard. Audio and pictures had to be created….edited…then morphed into a print layout and a multimedia piece. Below are links to the multimedia pieces….let me know what you think!

All of this is kind of sad though….Undergraduate College is ending….4 years has flown by….I feel older….and I just turned 22….so there is confirmation of my older-ness….and WHAT’S NEXT!???

I’m definitely considering Graduate School and leaning toward Bio-Science. I think a quarter or two off will do me some good though…I need time to breath a little. This year has just started and I feel done already.

On a lighter note…next quarter I will be in Scuba diving course! I will more than likely drown but for Christmas I’m asking for some scuba-oriented items. After the course is over I will become certified and hopefully I can start doing some underwater photography.

My sister Allison has also celebrated a birthday as well. She is now 11 and almost as tall as me. She shares a birthday with our Grandpa Steve as well–I share one with my cousin Alison. November is always a busy month…The pictures above are from her party.

Christmas is already looking hectic…and I guess Thanksgiving is coming first…I really dread the Holidays…mainly from all of the traveling I have to do. Within the month of December I can put about 1,000 miles or more on my car!!!

Just recently I’ve placed in a photo contest sponsored by OhioToday. After looking through my submission they also want to publish 5 other images! This came as a surprise to me…I have been too busy to think about the submission and when I got a phone call yesterday about it….I was rather amused.

I’ve got a few other things in the works as well…but with time I can give you some more information and updates!

Happy Holidays!

I'm ready for Summer!

OK...some of you have told me to update (cough cough....Mary Leah)...so I've decided to take time during my Anthropology class to write this blog. It's not like we're doing anything constructive in here anyways!

I've been pretty busy lately and have been photographing a lot of weddings and some seniors. My wedding a few weekends ago was a lot of fun with a large family and this upcoming weekend looks like it will be a good time as well. One of the pictures above is of Katlyn...yes...she's a senior and I felt really old the whole time during the shoot. To see the whole shoot go to www.alexsnyder.com/senior/katlyn 

I'm pretty sick and tired of this election and I can't wait for it to be over. I really don't care anymore and still don't know who to vote for yet. It reminds me of the Simon and Garfunkel song "Mrs Robinson"....

"Laugh about it....shout about it....when you've got choose. Either way you look at it you lose!"

It's also pretty bad when "Joe the Plumber" calls you and it's a women...hmm...I'm not even going to touch that one!

And it's getting cold out. I knew this would happen but was just hoping for a few more days. Being around Lori and her undying love for snow reassures me that winter is not going away anytime soon. 

On a lighter note the cold weather has brought some pretty clear skies at night..and I've seen two shooting stars...I wished for warmer weather!

Well...I need to wrap this up...class is going on. It's still boring, but I figure I can Facebook some people and send some e-mails. I'll put up some pictures of this coming weekend. My costume is pretty sweet...hopefully some people will take pictures of the photographer!
