Train Tracks

Just saw this guy walking down the tracks.

WKU VS. TROY

We played Troy for homecoming last night - which we did surprisingly well actually. We ended up losing in the end 40-20 although we were up for a substantial part of the game. This brings me to a point I'd like to make about shooting for a slideshow for any news outlet or publication. Journalism teaches you to look at things from both sides and cover things and events fairly. When we turned in our shots from the game last night the slideshow we turned out I feel like did not show both sides. It is very frustrating to me because people say "well we lost" or "it's hard to cover a team that's losing all the time." I agree with this - it is very draining to cover a team that all they do is lose. But, at the same time you have to cover the game on both sides. If we score a touchdown and they celebrate, I feel a shot is needed to show it. Even if the team loses it is still important to show the team winning. Why is this important? Well when viewers that did not go to the game look at your slideshow and all they is a team that is losing, that is not fair to the team. This is why it is very important to understand the game. What are some of the key points? Even though Western lost they still were ahead during a portion of the game against a team that is doing really well in the Sun Belt. Do our pictures from the game last night show that? No. They just show one side of a team that is losing. That, in my opinion, is the wrong way to cover a game. It's unfair, bias, unobjective and lazy.
If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm pretty frustrated with our coverage of the game last night. I always try to look at both sides of everything and cover it chronologically when doing a slideshow. I feel when doing it this way it creates a very unbiased point of view. Anyway, here are some photos from the game last night. Some celebrating, some with their heads held low.
Thanks for reading.

Old Stuff

Looking through some old files that I shot before I started a blog. Here are some shots from an internship in Nebraska - kids triathlon, Scott Ford my homeless friend, and some Cowboy Boots from a fair in Wahoo.

Hope you like 'em.

Color!

After looking at a friend's blog I got the hankering to shoot some color. Here is the result. This is my kitchen where light pours in every morning. I actually sit in the window and eat breakfast and usually break into a sweat. Got to love the morning light.

It's been a while

Since my last post. Anyway, I have been shooting in the nice light - I had forgotten how gorgeous the golden hour really is. I also just got a full frame and I have been wanting to shoot everything. Anyway, I'll be posting regular again so look for it.

Shipley Chevron

I hung out down at the Shipley Chevron service station yesterday. Like any other day at the station, you never know what's gonna happen. Well, Jonathan brought his 1951 Packard down to put on a new fuel pump. As soon as he pulled the old car in the bay, I had to shoot a picture. It just feels like the clocks rewound half a century. The second one is Tooter, the owner, working on the old car.

It's A Rainy Day...

I shot this photo because I wanted to today. Like I said in earlier posts I haven't shot a lot for myself lately because I am shooting mostly for a multimedia class. Anyway, it was raining in the trailer park, this is what I got.
