New Professor

This a photo I took for the Lorian of the new professor of biology Dr. Kate Cooper. She is currently studying how cells develop in fish. It was very interesting to hear about.

Yes I Can Cook

So I know many of you out there probably doubt my cooking abilities so i thought I'd show off one of my meals. Some friend potatoes with some yummy peppers and a butterfly pork chop!

And here's the final product!

Happy Birthday Mom

Well I'm a day late in my post, but I did talk to her yesterday so I'm not too late. This is a photo I took of my mom after she took over our kitchen to do some sewing. Happy Birthday Madre!

Dark Rooms = Fun Times

What do you do when you only have a D40 and a small lens and you are sent to take photos of a high energy band in a room with no lighting?! Well you pray you get a good photo. I turned my shutter way low and turned my fstop up and unforunately prayed I could edit in post. This is one of my results.

As a side note I have started another daily blog on Video production at LCTV13 Blogs:Commercial Corner. I hope you enjoy it too! My knowledge lies in video and these photos are just my extreme hobby, so I hope you get to know both sides of my visual creative worlds.

Sports Photos

Well I don't usually do sports photos. Nothing about them really excites me, so when I do take them I usually take pre-game and post-game shots of the athletes to capture their emotions. The photo above was taken after Loras defeated North Park 3-0. The photo above was taken before the game. You can see the level of concentration the players have and the joyfullness they have after a win. Loras soccer works extremely hard and it pays off.

Holocaust Survivor: Inge Auerbacher

Holocaust survivor Inge Auerbacher visited Loras College this wednesday to speak about her time in a Nazi concentration camp.

Inspiration

This photo I took of my friend and lctv13 anchor Andrew has turned out to be one of my favorite photos I have ever taken. I think it captures an essence of who he is; it's a great portrait.

Oeth Photo

This is another photo I took for the Lorian this week. This guy is Jake Oeth a senior basketball captian and pre-law man. He has a really great story... I'll post it soon. It has been really weird for me lately, I have spent my whole life avoiding portrait shots and now lately I find myself loving them. Oh and Jake is from Ogden, Iowa... right by my hometown of Perry!

LCTV 13

An image photo I took for LCTV on campus of their anchors Andrew Huck and Erin Horst. Oh and did I mention I am the webmaster/editor for www.lctv13.com? Check it out, it is one of the best college news sites you will see anywhere in the country.

I'm Back!

Well I'm going to give this another try! I am pretty much taking photos every day for the paper and I am getting some pretty good stuff so I thought I'd share it!
