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!

Alex

BUSY!!!






Forgive me everyone for not posting anything sooner. School has taken up all of my time and the quarter just started. 

I haven't been getting to do much shooting lately but Leah Grace's birthday was the other day so I decided to dust off the Nikon. Just like any other birthday party there was the usual....kids...crying...and Chickens....ummmmmmm.....(sigh). 

The weather gets good for one day and then is awful the next. I really don't care too much for winter but it would be nice to have one good snow, just to get some pictures...then it can melt and Spring can come. 

Well...with the winter cold comes the inevitable WEDDING SHOWS!!!....I jsut went to my first one this morning and will be attending several more. It's really nice when they place you next to a food caterer and a cake maker...good times!

I hope to be posting more...and I do say that a lot...but someday...when I get a secretary...it will come true...

Until then!

OH....and our favorite celebrity Kelly Dishong WAS spotted this weekend and well and as usual was not playing nice for the paparazzi!!!
