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!

Fantastic News!

Some good news: I was asked to be assistant photo editor for The Asbury Collegian here on campus! I must say....I'm rather excited about that. Not only is this a great opportunity, but it's scholarship money as well. I had to turn in a cover letter and resume and will probably have to go through a sort of interview process. I started my training this past Monday though. I just thought that I would let you all know, as I don't get to talk to some of you on a regular basis now. Thanks again for all of your support. I love you all!

Some Catching up

Here are two photos which have been published in The Collegian, but I haven't had the time to post until now. The next edition comes out tomorrow (Thursday, October 11). I'm really excited about a photo which I'm pretty sure will be in there. I'll post it once I find out for sure. Actually, I'll post it it no matter what. But here's what you have missed: This photo was used along with a story about a new campus pro-life group. This photo was used for a story on the freshman-fifteen.

A Slice of...Asbury.

Here's a taste of Asbury and the community of Wilmore for all of you. I've taken these at various times within the past couple of month's. I seem to be missing a few photos. (I hope they weren't accidently erased from my memory card!) If I find them, I'll try to get 'em up.
