This last week has been beyond busy for me. I have had a hard time to find anytime for family or anything right before halloween, like carving pumpkins or even partaking in the halloween party they just had. Im hoping these missed things will be worth it tomorrow when the paper comes out so I can actually see some of the work in print which means it has paid off. On top of all of this I am having a hard time because i don't really have anyone to fall back on anymore. This is putting a lot more on my plate of things to do and adding some more stress also. On a better note I am really looking forward to Kansas City on wednesday it will be good to see and hangout with some good friends once again.

With some of the many things that have kept me busy photo wise was a feature we did on local RnB artist Jamal Ali. His music is great I suggest everyone goes and takes a listen www.myspace.com/jamalmusic. He had a show friday that I took some photos at and we also went out last night and did some more photos to go with it. Take a look and let me know what you think. 

A busy production weekend

This weekend was a pretty good one by most standards but not the best to date. It was busy with production weekend for the college paper which turned out to be just alright but the next issue should be great. As for the entire year there is no real spark of interest yet so I am working hard to try and change that. My main focus right now is my photography. Im hoping to improve my style and abilities throughout the year so i can see where it may take me in the years to come.

This weekend at the college there was some Army team exercise training. It was fairly interesting to shoot just to see the different tasks they were doing on the not so nice of days. Overall the shoot went well and got some interesting shots.

The physical challenges took a toll on some but really seem to make everyone push themselves.

For communication training they were blindfolded and guided by a leader to pick up tennis balls spread across a small field.

For group thinking they had many ropes all tied together which made them capable of lifting objects like balls and coffee cans which they had to maneuver with.  If one team member did not do what needed of them then the can or ball would drop causing them to restart the task at hand.

Getting Started

Just getting the blog fired up and hoping to keep with it on a regular basis. Im new to all of this so it may take me awhile before I really am able to get something spectacular together but Im willing to do what I can.
