The Cheese
This morning I shot an assignment for the Banner-Herald. The story was about how the high gas prices have affected field trips at local schools. They had me shoot some fifth graders who were going to a local nature center, so I tried to work with the situation since I was only really able to [...]
Twilight Criterium: Take 2
Every year Athens holds a bike race in the downtown area. Last year I covered it for the Red & Black (see here), but this year after I finished with Gymnastics I went over for some pleasure shooting. I wanted to try some things with my camera that I hadn’t tried before so I thought [...]
Update
Hey Everyone, Sorry for the lack of updates over the past few days. I’ve been busy shooting the 2008 NCAA Gymnastics Championships and haven’t had much free time. I’ll post some photos from that when I have a chance, probably tomorrow. -Josh
20,000 days later
A few minutes ago I hit 20,000 page views since I first started this blog back in March of 2007. I figured it was enough of a milestone to warrant posting about it.
Earth or something like it
Today was Earth Day and some student organizations held some activities at Tate to celebrate. I went down there and shot a few things, but I liked this and the bird feeder making the most of all the stuff I got. Bird feeder photos are below the cut. Devin Jones and Hyong Ji Kim fish [...]
Dog eat dog world
Apparently when I shot that puppy in downtown Athens the other week there was some type of karma involved, because on Saturday I drove up to Jefferson, Ga., to photograph some puppies for The Athens Banner-Herald. The lady who was at the home refused to have her face photographed, which seemed odd to me, but [...]
Cpl. Josh Reeves Memorial 5k
Yesterday I shot a 5k run that was hosted by UGA’s ROTC. The run served as a memorial for Josh Reeves, a fallen soldier from the Athens area. Here are some photos. Members of UGA’s ROTC program as well as cadets from the nearby Naval Supply School ran along with a number of civilians.
The Opposite of Rodeo Drive
Yesterday I went to shoot the rodeo that was in town. The rodeo, called The Southern Stampede, was hosted by UGA’s Brock and Bridle club. The rodeo was a yearly staple of the University for many years when it was held in Stegeman Coliseum. However, it got kicked out a few years ago and was [...]
The Blue Flashing Light
Yesterday I shot the Terry College of Business’s Music Certification Program’s End of Semester Showcase. Normally I don’t post the things I shoot for Terry Magazine, but I liked this photo enough to post it. I would have liked it a bit more if I was able to get more depth of field so his [...]
Devolution – History through Illustration presented in reverse chronological order
So the other day I was looking through my blog to see how far I’d come over the past 13 months. I thought that I’d improved, but I wasn’t quite sure how to directly show it. With the exception of sports, which I didn’t shoot that much until last year, I couldn’t think of a [...]
