Six weeks down, six more to go.
Motivation
Trent Parke shot sports for ten years- a powerful encouragement as I prepare for my next high school volleyball game.
Influence
© Mikhael Subotzky
It would be more accurate to call Subotzky a major influence, his use of multiple formats to effectively tell a story, with each format still bearing his compositional signature, his time spent on a single theme, and most importantly, his desire to tell a story that is near his home. I will never understand why young photographers feel the need to travel the world to create work when they can find powerful stories near their own homes, perhaps it's because contest judges get boners for pictures from third world countries, I can't be sure, but Subotzky is an example of how powerful work can be made at home.
Dallas Symphony Orchestra
A pleasant reminder of why I chose to be a photojournalist; I get the privilege to be in some incredible places. Hearing world class musicians warm up right in front of me- my heart swells up, reaches out through the lens and grabs as much as it can to try and remember that beautiful moment.
Tubas
The first photo I have taken down here in Dallas that I have been proud to stand behind.

Lilacs
Two photographs from the Lilac Festival in the Spring. For the first time in months I have access to a scanner!
I'm not sure how much time was in between these photographs, but I do know the distance-they were at least 300 feet apart. The boy in white really likes to run through the lilac bushes, maybe I should have spent my day following him around.
