Why do America's elites hate Palin?

Eventually I'll be done with training...

Palin Can Bang Bang The Boogie

Nothing special, but I just thought I'd let you know I almost ran into a moose today.

Lawmaker: Was VIP treatment of Palin in national parks appropriate?

He was lazy as hell.


I wish I could have gotten out of the car and layered this...Alas, I could not. Rules be the rules.

They call it "Emerald Isle"

They get the Detroit News on Beaver Island. Or at least they did at one point





And from the drive back...

Hoopla

I stood on top of the hoop for this. I thought the ball was going to hit me and I would slip off and die. I didn't.

Floverage

It was gross in the bathroom.

Livin' on Love (JRN 521 Final Project)

So over the last month and a half I've been working on a piece for my JRN 521 class, taught by Ryan Wood. The goal of the class was, among other things, to create a longer-term story based off an issue that we drew out of a hat at the beginning of the semester. I got consumption/consumerism, but it ended up turning more into focusing on budget issues and family dynamics. I found my story thanks to Nathan Morgan. He was pretty pumped about the prospect, and told me to run with it, so I did. Below is the final project I turned in for class.

Here are some photos I kinda like.
















I think I'm going to pick up the story after I get back from Alaska in August. John Tully, who originally shot the Parsons for an MDN assignment a year and a half back, suggested extending the project to the surrounding areas of Midland County, and it's definitely something I'm interesting and will be considering when I get back.

Anyway. Enjoy, and thanks for looking. And a huge thanks goes to Nathan Morgan, who helped me edit several times through the project, and also gave me the idea for how to shoot the interview and what other situations to look for. Also, to Ryan Wood for pushing me this semester.

Something wicked this way come...

Paige and I spent an ungodly amount of hours in the computer lab over the weekend. On Sunday, we got into the lab at about 11am, and we didn't leave until 2pm on Monday. And Sunday was a pretty swell day weather-wise....We felt like we were trapped. We almost died. This is Paige looking out the lone window onto the sunbathed campus. People were enjoying the day. We were going insane.

Oh, and Sara eventually stumbled into the lab as well after shooting all day.

The project will be up soon.

In the mean time, here is a picture of me as well. Tired as all hell. Working on my video. 60+ frames printed out and laid on the floor as I listened to my video over. and over. and over.
