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!

It's raining...
When it rains...it pours. And for once, it's not in a bad way! I wanted to let everyone know that I received a scholarship, for my photography. It's the Manzer-Keener-Weffler Scholarship. I was notified last night about that and then this morning I found that my first photo for the Review was published in today’s paper! I'll try my best to get it scanned and then posted here for you all to see. I've been giving some serious thought into investing in a scanner. Maybe I'll do that today.
Anyways, I want to give my most sincere thanks to those of you who have been so encouraging to my photography endeavors. It means the world to me to know that I have support and that at least someone will look at my photos when nobody else will. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
