This is my final capstone project. I shot the entire thing with the Olympus PEN E-PL1. Hope you enjoy!

Beef Day

One of the organizations on campus was having a beef event and they brought a cow to Lowry Mall. So naturally DK and I had to go check it out. Here's some photos and there might be a video to come. These were taken with an Olympus E-PL1.

And then of course DK had to buy Laura a shirt.

My Sister's Circus

Calin, David and I finally ventured into My Sister's Circus on Wednesday to see what kind of place it really was. It turned out to be pretty harmless, except for this clown.

The Becky Look

Laura's giving me the "Becky Look." That was the face Laura got from her sister when she would annoy her.

5 Points of View: Edit 1

So here's edit number 1 for my 5 points of view project. Consider the amount of time I had with Sam I think I captured a decent variety of his daily life. One thing I really like is that he had the same hat on every time I saw him, which at first was a challenge, but I think it added a nice continuity to all the frames in the end. I thought I would wait to add captions until I have the edit nailed down.

Project Proposal

I am doing my 5 perspectives on freshman photo-j student Sam Gause. This feels a little like déjà vu because in my fundamentals class I did a story on Dann Wunderlich who was a freshman, living in McDavid that chose photojournalism after injuring himself playing football. Sam is a freshman living in McDavid that chose photojournalism after injuring himself playing baseball. He's from Phoenix, AZ and says he's always been an artistic kid. He started taking photo classes in high school, which peaked his interest. He met his two best friends this school year from his dorm. He's working for the Maneater, among his classes he's taking Spanish, which he says is the most challenging class for him. I'm going to show the different aspects of his day. Interviewing people for stories, hanging out with his friends, going running, working on homework and then I was going to shoot him in his fundamentals class Wednesday morning.

Catching up

I know I haven't posted in awhile so here is my catch up post. This first picture is from the Missouri Grand Prix we hosted last weekend.


Houston we have a problem...Calin sorts out POYi issues.


When I'm at POYi I like to get on the webcast because I like to see what people are saying about the pictures. DK made fun of me.


I attempted to do a project about Valentine's day, but my dislike for the holiday got the better of me. I title this "The Aftermath"



I was on my way to work and realized I didn't have a picture for the day so I shot this while getting into my car. Plus this was the first day in forever that we didn't have overcast skies. The birds were happy.



I ran into my friend Corey on my way to class and took a quick portrait of him.
