Advanced Techniques: Metal and Glass

“Bad Dog” A news aficionado’s nightmare – coming home to find that your dog Rocco or Princess let loose on the house and destroyed the Sunday paper before reading it – may soon change with the  industry’s uncertain future in print. And here’s the lighting plan. *** Part of me wishes this photo came out more stylized, and the [ READ MORE ]

Advanced Techniques: Classmate Portrait

Missouri senior Jonathan Hinderliter shows off his sunglasses during a portrait session on February 13, 2010. Hinderliter balances his love of fashion, shoes and shopping with his sharp personality, cynical tendencies and a penchant for arguments. Lighting diagram for my single-light portrait. I like arrows and stick figures. Reminds me of this. ***** Sorry for the unannounced intrusion, [ READ MORE ]

I’ve been a bit busy.

Way too many days have passed since I’ve last updated. Hopefully I won’t let that happen again. There are so many awesome things going on, and lots of pictures to go along with them. There’s also a ton of emails. My phone just buzzed again – it’s 11:43pm on a Friday night. Such is the semester. Somehow, [ READ MORE ]

Project365: The end and the beginning

day 365 :: year three When I started my Project365 three years ago, I had no idea it would turn into such a production. For the first few months after I moved to DC in late 2006, I realized I hardly took photos anymore. This was totally unacceptable. The project seemed to be a great way [ READ MORE ]

I can see the light!

While this mess has since been cleaned up (mostly) and the paper handed in (I got an A-), it pretty well illustrates how my semester has been (and continues to be). Right now I’m waiting for 162 RAW files to process to place into a time-lapse of contra dancing. I hope it works. I’ve never done [ READ MORE ]

Photo stories are easier to edit when they’re not mine.

Almost midnight, Monday. This week’s (well, and last week’s too) project for Fundamentals was the classmate project. [cue scary music] We picked names out of a box for a round-robin style photo assignment, where I photographed someone, they photographed someone else, who was photographing someone else, and so on. The goal? Tell this person’s story. Whether it’s a [ READ MORE ]

This story was worth a pair of sandals.

After long wait, the tomato and pepper festival story is now online (and hopefully in the paper, too)! A photo of the hard copy will be updated here. MU’s Bradford Research Center to host annual Tomato Festival Why the title of this post, though? Byebye shoes. Note to self: do not go tromping around in a tomato patch after [ READ MORE ]

Never fails; my team always wins.

I got to do one of my favorite things today. I covered football. My main goal was to write a story about the game, but make it more about the players than the actual game. It’s not always easy – a game recap is technical, but simple. Just pay attention to the action on the field, and [ READ MORE ]

Pigs are awesome.

Yesterday, my classmate Maggie and I went to the State Fair in Sedalia, MO in search of a story. We really lucked out sticking with the pig competition, and met two amazing Boone County high school kids. But we were even luckier than that – one had just won the Grand Champion title. We did all [ READ MORE ]
