Background

I've always been rather intrigued with photographs. Photos could alway's take me places that I could never go; and still today they do. Images hold such a powerful force in society today. Without them, could you possibly imagine a newspaper or magazine?

I began to really grow serious about photography my Junior year in high school. I had recieved my first camera for Christmas the year before, but had not really put much energy into it until then. I attended Asbury College in Wilmore, KY  during my first year of college where I served as photo editor of the school paper. Starting in the fall semester of 2008 I  began attending Kent State University where I am part of their photojournalism program. During the summer and while on breaks, I work as a part-time photographer for The Alliance Review, the local newspaper from my hometown of Alliance, Ohio. I really enjoy my time there and have graciously been given the opportunity to practice and advance my photography skills through my work for them.

The photos below and in the blog archive have been taken for various photo classes, The Alliance Review, The Asbury Collegian, and for my own enjoyment. I hope that you like them!

Ahhh well....

This is probably one of the first ever half-way decent photos I ever took. This was origianlly on film (Like the old-timers..ha ha ha) and I had it scanned. Theres not much to it. I just happened to notice how the composure of the shot worked out. My friend here was just messing around and stuck her upper body through that tree and I loved it. Then I made her pose with a smile. She would kill me if she knew this picture was up here, but I like it. It's a very nice picture of her.
