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!

Can you say "FRONT PAGE!"?

I just thought that I would give you all a taste of the FRONT page of yesterday's paper! Yes...my photos made the front page. The first photo was the main one, then the photo of the hand with the ring was a little under it and finally the third photo followed on the next page. I'm pretty pumped! That's my first front pager! All of these photos were taken at Kings Jewelry inside Carnation mall. All of the girls are the Carnation Queen contestants. They were given a lesson on diamonds and so fourth. Then they were set loose on the store.
