While down in Pocomoke yesterday they asked me to find a stand alone. I saw this little park and waited for some people to come by. Once they did it was pretty easy. They had one of those spinwheel things so I got in the center of it and shot the kids as they spun around. I also shot some ducks.

As part of my job interview in Salisbury on Monday they had me shoot a business down in Pocomoke City, about 26 miles south of Salisbury. Things like this don’t usually make exciting photos, so in a situation like this where you are trying to show what you can do it becomes a necessity to work the scene as much as possible till you find something that works and isn’t necessarily as obvious.
In this case, you want to show off that this is a school supplies store while also having a person in the shot. This means trying to incorporate two elements from the store into the photo and hoping it actually looks good. Luckily I was able to come up with these first two and got an additional detail shot I liked.

Got a call this afternoon while I was shooting stand-alones for the Banner Herald asking if I could shoot some photos of the club house at Jennings Mill Country Club which had burnt down in the morning.

I was asked on Wednesday to shoot a portrait of this UGA baseball player. I had some ideas for portraits that were more creative, but when it started raining it became more a matter of trying to make sure the equipment I was using didn’t get fried so I went with something more standard.
