I'm Back

WOW! I almost forgot all about this blog that I started when I took PHO245 @ Owens CC.  We were required, by Lori King, to make a photo blog for class.  This gave people a way to view our progress during the semester.  Honestly, I don't think I ever signed on after the semester was over.  But once I started looking around I have decided to start updating it again.
Since the class I have finished my Owens career and I am now alumni, class of 2011, major in Journalism.  Currently I am finishing up my first semester at BGSU majoring in Broadcast Journalism.
It is late and I am tired but I will be adding some new photos.  I do not get to shoot as much as I wish but I try to every now and then.  Having two kids I base most of my photos around them and their exciting little lives.  I hope to become a regular blogger.  What exactly do people do with these, as far as subjects? Do people rant on these? Or is it just a whatever you want to do, do it?
 

Apple Pie

Last night I baked two apple pies and thought I'd take a picture.  They just look so delicious and it turned out better than I thought.  Not to mention, I've never made an apple pie from scratch before, so I thought why not.

Michigan Game September 25

For my 24th birthday I was given tickets to the Michigan vs BGSU game on September 25th.  Here are some of the pictures I took from my seat during the game.

Portrait

Luis Gloria, 49, of Oregon has been a Welder for 20 years.  He is seen here welding a piece back together.


Portraits were a little exciting to do.  It actually felt as though I was finally in charge of the shot.  I could have the subject pose, and not have to wait and wait for the right moment.  I also was able to choose someone who did something interesting and join them during the days work.  If I decided to be a photographer I do not think I would be interested in doing portraits all the time.  I do enjoy the excitement of finding that spot news or waiting for that perfect moment, to catch the one of a kind shot.

Feature Hunting

The next three pictures are of my daughter at Fleitz pumpkin farm in Oregon, Ohio.
