Philmont II

Here are some shots from the beginning of the summer that I forgot to share. #philmont #ilovepeople #boyscoutcamp

Philmont I

It's only about a month late, but after battling my hard drive I've finally recovered most of my photos and I can now share them. :) Here are some frames from my first few weeks back in God's country. Holy smokes it feels good to be back!

JROTC

Here are a couple shots I got while I was shooting a JROTC/ROTC event at WKU. :)

Breakdancing wooo!

I started photographing a breakdancer named Fahad this week and the first thing I shot of him was a breakdancing competition in Nashville. It was way fun! Especially when I got there and realized that the first half was a breakdancing competition for kids (what!?). I'm really fascinated by the breakdancing culture--so many cool, passionate, happy people! Looking forward to shooting more! #ilovepeople

Robbie and Karen's story

For the past couple weeks I have been photographing the story of Robbie and Karen Stevens. The teenage boy and his grandmother who he calls "Mom" live in Bowling Green, Ky. and have been a family for thirteen years now. In addition to high school and JROTC, Robbie serves as a sort of caregiver for Karen in her old age. I'm hoping to continue documenting their story, but for now here are a few shots I got in my first couple weeks with them. :) #ilovepeople

Track!

Here are a few frames I got while I was shooting track a few weeks ago that I am just now putting up :) 

Picture Stories Week 10

This week I started photographing the story of Tralaima Anderson. She is a single mother of three, a student, and is working a job to support her family. She blows my mind. I cannot believe she is able to handle all the different aspects of her life, but she does and she does very gracefully. I've only been able to shoot a little bit so far, but here are a few frames--more to come next week! #ilovepeople

In addition to that, I shot Spring Sing, a step show that the fraternities and sororities here put on as a part of Greek Week. This is probably one of my favorite things to shoot, so I had a lot of fun! :)

Finally, this week I continued on my journey to becoming a better sports shooter. It turns out if you understand a sport, it's much easier to shoot the sport. Surprise surprise :P Thank you mother-of-the-other-team's-catcher for explaining so much to me! I'll get better at this whole sports thing, one step at a time. This weekend I get to shoot track and hockey, which are two of my favorite things to watch so shooting should be fun!
