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!
"Hey batter batter..."
I was reading this book on Photojournalism yesterday and in the forward I came across a pretty cool qoute: "Chance favors the prepared mind." I found this to be quite true this weekend as I was shooting the Hot Stove Baseball tournament Saturday and Sunday. Sports photography is a bit of a challenge for me. If you want a good shot you have to be quick. So, I continue to work on this and hope to become better at it. The photos below were published in today's paper.
