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!

Well, I've been reminded that I haven't posted much lately. Then again, school is getting the better of me. All of my classes are going well but are all pretty demanding. One of which is a History Through Film course...where...we study Star Trek!...Yes, you heard me correctly. In actuality, the course isn't too ridiculous however, there are a lot of interesting people in there who have a strong love for the series. 

The other day I had somewhat of an unscheduled photo shoot. I was using some new equipment and thought Leah Grace would be a nice subject. She claims she's photo shy, but she was pretty quick to pose!...LOL

I'll try to keep this thing updated more often...so my fans who live about 45 minutes away will stop complaining. Although...her posts are few an far between...hmmm

I'm Done!

Thursday at 2:30p would see me taking my last final for Spring Quarter. I had barely slept all week studying for the stupid thing, and I now have ruled out History as being my minor. 

I'll be going back into work with Barb and Jerry this coming week and I'm both excited and stressed because I'm running out of time before my Scotland trip. My camera is in being repaired and haven't even thought about what I need to pack...now I just have to find time to think about what to think about!!!

Yesterday, while I was in my room, apparently a a car hit my friend Valerie's car...she wasn't in it...and it was parked outside. The guy who hit the parked car was drunk, which proved to be a funny sight to watch. The passenger was "hurt"  but by the grace of a much greater power....she managed to smoke her cigarette!  It was my first day of being out of the Photojournalism school and below and behold....spot news just drives ups and wrecks at your front doorstep!

My condolences to Valerie...it sucks...I know!
