Mischievous Mouse

My roommate decided that we needed a mouse as a pet, and I didn't put up a fight. Here Dorothy scurries around our kitchen table shortly before relieving herself.

Obama wins!

I had the opportunity to cover history last night as America elected it's first African American to the presidency. I and fellow photographer Josh Peckler decided at the last minute Tuesday afternoon to make the four hour trip up to Chicago to cover this defining moment in our history. It was an amazing evening filled with anxiousness, laughing, cheering, and tearing up as the people in Grant Park watched Obama sweep across the electoral map to claim victory. Here are some of my images from the night.

Street Musician

I went to Chicago last night to cover the Obama victory celebration and shot this on the way to the festivities.

Sept 13 - A little aviation

I got the change to go out to a local air strip today and make some photographs of the neat little community there. Here are some of my photos.

Two Candiates, Two Weeks

Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton continue to battle over the Democratic presidential nomination, and that battle has recently been brought to Muncie Indiana. In two weeks, I have had the opportunity to cover both candidate's campaign stops, and it's been quite exciting. From the security to the cheering crowds, to the candidate's powerful speeches, it's been a unique experience for me. Here are some of my photos.

Blackhawk Ride!

I spent an awesome Saturday covering a day three of a four day training exercise for area ROTC at Camp Atterbury. I had a blast hanging around with Major Cummins and various ROTC cadets seeing what they do during their training, and one of those fun things happened to be going up in a blackhawk helicopter.

I was a bit nervous at first since the doors were open during the entire flight, but once we were in the air, I was glad since it allowed for a much nicer view. It did make for a cold flight though. The most exciting part was when they banked at what I'm assuming was almost 80 or so degrees. It felt like I would fall right out!

The photos aren't great, but I just had boast! More photos from the day are soon to follow.

Fashion Shoot

I had a pretty interesting time yesterday during my first fashion shoot. Since I'm not used to posing people at all, I'm glad I had help from several people (Mags, Laura and Jen). All in all, I'm pleased with the way it turned out.

The idea was to create high fashion photography focused on what people should and should not wear to to job interviews. Also big thanks to the models who made the photos look awesome -- Jason, Ashley, Carl, Maeghan, and David.
