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!

Arlington National Cemetery
This past spring, after visiting Arlington National Cemetery I discovered a photo project from National Geographic photographed by Bruce Dale about the cemetery. These photos were so powerful that the first time I saw them I had tears in my eyes and goosebumps running down my spine. These photos were that good! Anyways, I bought the book and have even brought it with me down here to college. You can look at them online and since I think so highly of them, I wanted to share these beautiful images with you all.
