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!

Flower Power

For those of you who didn't know, I was recently hired by the Alliance Review as a part-time photographer. Last Saturday I was at Carnation Mall on assignment covering the annual rose show. I was a bit frustrated with how some of my photos came out, but I did happen to come out with one which I particularly liked. The rose looks the way it does (I used absolutely no photoshop in this photo!) due to the crazy lighting. For those of you who have been inside Carnation Mall, you know that it's rather dark. BUT...there are some skylights which happened to be right above me while I was shooting. They were actually making me rather mad throughout the shoot because they were really throwing off some of my photos with all the crazy light being the way it was. Though, it just so happened to work out with this photo and a few others very similar to it.
