Baseball and Softball

I shot baseball and softball for The Herald this weekend, and got the opportunity to improve on my sports shooting some. It was also a welcome break from video to shoot stills.

Thinking Graphically

I have always photographed moments first composition second, but the combination of not working for a paper right now and taking a video class has me thinking more about the graphic nature of my photos. So here's a couple I've taken this semester. Hopefully by the end of the semester I'll be able to take some graphic photos with moments in them too.
