around school.





things are really starting to settle in at school. Lots of papers to write, exams to study for, and books to read from. Its a lot of fun, but also lots of work. One thing i am trying this year that i did not last year is the photography club. So far we have had one meeting, and there is a bit of a competition, to take the best pictures around the campus. I have some good ideas but only took a few pictures the other night, i need to go out again sometime and shoot. I liked all the lines on this one.

Volley Ball

Its been a while, school is getting busy, lots of reading, papers, and midterms. After studying all day yesterday i finally got out of the books and went to the home opener volley ball game last night. Pretty fun, although the girls lost, the guys won. Volley ball is not really the type thing i like to shoot, there really a photo journalistic type style photography to it. You cant ask the subject to move where you want, or just redo that last move. Usually you just let whats going on continue to go on without interfering and try to just record the events...not really my style. I see myself as a perfectionist and like to go for a picture i REALLY like. any how. heres my favorite from last night.
