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!

Emily's Words

I've been giving a lot of thought to this, and so I decided to test it out. I will be going to school for not only photography but for journalism (magazine journalism) as well. I want to make my writing a little better known, as I tend to keep it quietly hidden away in a notebook or in some file deep within my computer. I do a lot of poetry as well as other types of prose involving various experiences or thoughts. I've got an idea of what I want to post on here, though it is rather long. Maybe I'll make a shorter version or I'll post the entire thing. Either way I have some editing to do before I post it. Keep an eye out, for I will have it up shortly. Shortly means, whenever I can find a spare moment. I hope everyone is doing well.
