Week 7

Today was a slow week, and I didn't shoot many pictures that I liked. So I'm just going to share one. I had to shoot my first vigil last night, and I think it was the hardest thing I've ever photographed. It was horrible. I felt so bad for the friends and family of this 18-year-old girl who was murdered. It just broke my heart, and I felt like such a vulture trying to photograph it.

Week 6

Here are a few pictures from this week:

And a couple from a story I started this week:

This was a slow week assignment-wise, but here are a few:

Week 4

Week 3

This was a busy week! I shot three graduations in two days, and it was really challenging trying to see things differently. I also worked on a story that I found...There was a nation-wide trail ride Sunday to raise money for horse rescues. There were affiliates in each state, and the affiliates for the state of Virginia were located in Bedford, which is in our coverage area. I spent a lot of time with Ron and Kathleen this week...I wish I'd found them earlier because I think they have a really interesting story, but it ran in the paper on Monday. I'm still hoping to spend more time with them this summer though. Here are some pictures from the week:

I really like this picture, but I'm not sure why:

Personal Project

Here's a picture from a project I started today. I took it when Landen's dad came home from work and was napping on the couch. I think it's one of my favorites from the day, but I'm not sure why.
