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!

Update on the not Updated

Hello my friends! I appologize for not posting much these past few weeks...again, the whole school thing just gets in my way :) Tomorrow I will start my first "official" night as Photo Editor for The Collegian as to Assistant Photo Editor. I've been slowly taking over the reins these past few weeks, so I'm feeling ok about it. The only thing I'm worried about is having enough photos for this weeks edition. I never sent out photo requests to any of the photographers, so it's all up to me on this one. We'll see how that works out... Other than that....I picked up another wedding for this summer. Well, things aren't 100% yet, but I'm feeling pretty confident. Thanks for reading!
