Hm, haven’t updated in a while. Here’s what happened since the last post: *Defended thesis. *Graduated from Mizzou with my Master of Arts degree. *Got a freelance photo job with the Martha’s Vineyard Gazette for the summer. I’ll have to find some sort of other work as well to supplement it, but I’m pretty excited [...]
I’m slowly working my way through all of the Major League Baseball ballparks in the country. So far I’ve been to a third of them*; I added my tenth last night when I went to see the Red Sox (my most favorite team ever) play Kansas City at the K. Having now been to both [...]
This one’s from the archives—summer 2007. It was taken with a waterproof disposable camera while I was treading water in the channel. My cousin (the one jumping) is a total rock star.
I am currently en route to Memphis to do thesis research (very, very long story), and stopped in St. Louis for the night to stay with my friend Sanya, who’s in med school here. I got to the city well before Sanya’s classes got out, so I spent most of the afternoon actually being productive. [...]
If I had more time this semester, I would do a project on injuries in PeeWee Hockey. Eight-year-olds are intense. (This was actually taken last semester when I was working on my 30-Day Story…but hockey wasn’t my focus at all, so I forgot about it till now.)
I can’t put SoundSlides on this blog, and am still working on setting up a wordpress.org site…soooo in the meantime, here is a link to my final project for Picture Story. This was the third story I tried getting access to for the project (third try’s the charm!), and even though I really wish I [...]
I went to a “Dinner with Santa” festival tonight (put on by the National Junior Honor Society at one of the St. Louis middle schools) with my final project family, and, between taking photos of pancake tosses and kids making “reindeer food” (oatmeal with glitter mixed in, which seems unhealthy for anyone), made the second [...]
Our last two assignments in Picture Story are the video job profile and the 30-Day Story. I give to you now the 30-Day Job Profile (I also did the 30-Day Character Profile earlier this semester), which has been in the works since the second week of October. I wish I could just submit this for [...]
We got to re-edit our character profiles in FinalCut, which gave me a chance to go back and clean up all of my terrible audio from the first go-around. It’s still far from perfect, but wayyy better than before. I had two more shoots to incorporate into the profile, one of which was an all-day [...]
I should be working on my thesis prospectus right now, but there’s nothing like a paper to make you decide to catch up on blogging. As the previous post said, I spent yesterday at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis following my Character Profile subjects (all 120+ of them) through the paces of performing [...]
