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!

FIRE!

One of the perks of having a Dad who is a fire chief, is hearing about fires and such before everyone else. I was on my way home from an assignment on the fourth and saw my Dad speeding through an intersection to get to the fire. I decided to go as well! There weren't any flames by the time I got there, but there were some good photo opportunities. I took over a hundred photos and sent a few into The Review. This is the one that was published in today's paper. Pretty cool eh?
