It is a sad yet true fact that I haven’t done any multimedia work since my final 30-day project was turned in last December. I was too busy last semester with my thesis to even think about side work, and the Gazette doesn’t publish multimedia on their web site. I’ve had this lovely Olympus LS-10 [...]
I know, I know, my last two posts have been livestock photos. But it’s fair season; I can’t really help it. I’m going to post the non-animal photos from the fair in the next couple of days (: Anyway. I probably would have photographed this event even if I weren’t covering the fair for the [...]
Okay, guys. We all know how cute piglets are, and if you’ve ever seen ‘racing pigs,’ then you know how cute they are, too. But this just takes it to a whole new level. I’m the designated ‘Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Fair’ shooter this weekend, so I was up at the fairgrounds for a while this [...]
I have a couple weeks’ worth of blogging to do in the next few days…I hope I can get around to it before I get hit by this week’s insanity. But first! I’ve been hoping a little alpaca would be born on one of the Junior Discovery class days (preferably when I was there, too…), [...]
From two of my assignments the past few days. That’s David McCullough in the bottom photo (author of 1776, John Adams, and Truman (the latter two of which won the Pulitzer) shaking hands with his son after receiving an MV Medal of Honor. The top photo is an outtake from a piece I’m working on [...]
My college roommate Kim got engaged this past weekend! In a truly fantastic turn of events, the proposal happened in Rhode Island, where she and her now-fiancé were visiting his family. I had been planning to do an overnight trip over there for a month or so, because I never get to see Kim anymore [...]
Picture Story class last fall prepared me for a lot of things, but one of the most unexpected benefits of the class was going through desensitivity (is that a word?) training with regard to bloody animals. One of my classmates did a project on the butcher class in the ag school, while another did a [...]
I did a piece on the Little League All-Star teams this past weekend (I had to file the story from the Falmouth Public Library and the photos from Wickford, RI, which made things, um, interesting)…nothing too in-depth, but it did take a lot of running around and pestering phone calls to make sure all four [...]
I took a second job a couple weeks ago working part-time at Island Alpaca as a store clerk and general alpaca-care person. Had I ever spent more than a couple hours working on a farm before? Nope…but fortunately, alpacas are about the most low-maintenance livestock animals you can imagine. They don’t have upper teeth, so [...]
