Re-enactment Pictures

My second week of my internship with The Hanover Evening Sun was covering the Re-enactment in Gettysburg--the paper's busiest week of the year. The weather was mid-90's and no shade in sight, just like it was for the men and women then. Even though it was stressful, it was a great experience and a great place to be for July 4th. It was as if I'd walked into a diorama for three days.

You've Been Flocked

A found feature from the weekend--the family received the flamingos from a friend with a note that said "You've Been Flocked." It's a fundraiser for a local charity and they have to either give a suggested donation to have them removed or to send them on to someone else.

Triathlon

A picture from this morning's triathlon/race: participants had to bike up a hill, drop their bikes, and repeat it all with tires.

Still Life with Pointe Shoes

It's been so long since I've posted that I thought I should put a placeholder in at the very least to show that I'm still alive. The past two weeks have been the busiest of the semester, with the Missouri Contemporary Ballet wrapping up their spring season at the end of this week. I hope to add more to the blog as I go through the inevitable multimedia drafts, trying to make a story that makes sense and is visually interesting.

Friday Night

Photographed the company during "Artrageous," an open house and art walk for the artist studios on Orr Street. I could watch Genene and Fernando forever; they are so dynamic and beautiful together.

Archives

On the last day of my internship this past summer, I got to photograph Obama when he came to my hometown. There was a photographer "pit" up front and I was crawling around on the floor, sweating, and switching lenses; it took place in an airport hangar so it was pretty stifling when packed with people. Still, it was pretty exciting to be that close to a president--I'm green enough at this to admit that! (I'm also glad I didn't take my well-meaning landlady's advice about what to wear: she works in politics and told me to wear a suit and heels because I'm "going to meet the president").
