Giraffe

The sirens just went off in Perry for a tornado and I am wishing for a good day. This photo reminds me of a great day. This is a photo of a Giraffe at the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, Iowa where I interned last summer. Great memories.

My Friend Zach

Portrait time. I haven't really done portraits ever, but the opportunity presented itself. This is my friend Zach. As you can see from his hat he absolutely loves Chevy.

I think I am going to do portraits of all of my friends this summer; including Zach here in his element, the farm.

My Defining Tool

My Bach

This instrument used to consume my life. I had my whole life planned around it. It was a rainy day so I decided to dust it off and feel the rush of what I used to feel.

Good Bye Dubuque

Dubuque: Masterpiece on the Mississippi

This is my last goodbye to Dubuque and Loras College for the summer. Not the greatest photo, but a great view none the less.

Shot on a Nikon D40 - The camera I will be taking all of my pictures on.

About the Author

| Sunday, May 25, 2008

My life lately has been spent on the internet; texting in to twitter, uploading videos to youtube, and using facebook way more than I should. This will be my third attempt at a blog and the first one that I am actually excited about. My time so far this year has been spent creating LCTV 13's new website. A website I created for our Media Studies news and sports program at Loras College in Dubuque. This site was created using wordpress, but I felt this new blog should call blogger home.

My first love and passion is video production. This is my field of study as I enter into my junior year of college, but as I dabble deeper and deeper into the world of production I find myself distancing my inner creativeness from what I once loved. Video has become routine and I have found my self reaching for my camera more and more each day.

The world through a photograph has always captured my imagination for as long as I can remember. Photography for me is in the moment. I want to capture life through the eyes of others as it is happening. This has led me to find a love for photojournalism and multimedia productions.

This blog will take my eye for the moment and show what it truely means to be Iowan for me. Where I have come from has always been a pride in my life and my cousin has recently inspired me to show what I have come to love the most; the people, places, and things that make up my lens in Central Iowa.

I will post a new photo every day with a monthly group of photos of my experiences in Central Iowa. Below is a group of photos I have taken over the past year. Thank you for visiting and I hope you visit again.
