Just trying out different online video servers for the paper next year. Here's blip.tv



Got another slideshow coming up tomorrow from a softball game Martyn (another staff shooter) and I were at today. Well I got 6 pages to type so I better go.

'Necks fall to Illini, prepare for SDSU - Sports

Made my first slideshow for an article. It was actually pretty easy. Hopefully it's something that I'll be doing more. Maybe some soundslides next. NEED some audio.

Been a while since I made any videos. Here's a few clips from the Lee Calhoun Memorial Track meet held in April here in Macomb.



It was cloudy pretty much the whole 3 days. That or raining but I did what I could. Wasn't really planning on shooting video but it was sitting in my bag so... yeah.

headed out with baseball over to U of I. Never traveled with baseball but glad I did. Got to shoot my first night game. It was a little challenging since I'm so used to shooting with the sunlight but the lighting wasn't horrible.

Also, saw these wheelchair racers over on the track nearby so I got a few shots of them. I got so much stuff to do.

Still working on baseball. I'm starting to catch more action but still missing a few things. The knee pads really help since I'm shooting low the whole time. Those rocks sure would hurt the knees. Glad I'm young and can still get low.

Anyways, been extremely busy with track going on this weekend too.

Weather was horrible and the sun didn't come out till today. (been gone since Thursday I think)

Still need to figure out the apartment situation for Topeka. hmmm. Oh yeah, and getting credit for school too. Well I need to study or do a paper or something.

Later

Been a while since I updated the site...

Just added some more sports, took down some news and features.

Ugh, woke up at around 6:45am, took a shower, grabbed my gear and headed out to the golf course.

It was a little chilly but nothing too bad. Now that I got access to a golf cart (since I'm media) Shooting golf is kind of fun. Still need to figure out all that etiquette whatnot. Those golf carts are crazy loud. I can get some decent speed too.

Anyways, shot golf till about 10am, then I headed back over to campus to shoot womens tennis. Shots turned out alright. This girl ^ up top, ran in last weeks paper so I'm not sure if this pic'll run. Maybe I got something better so whatever.

Oh yeah, I was shooting this one for the Athletics Department (who I also work for) so Steve, the assistant photo editor was out there shooting for the paper. Gets kind of confusing sometimes who I'm working for.

I get paid by the hour by the Athletics department ($7.50) and $15 per assignment for the paper so if the event's long like a quadruple overtime to start the football season, works out well.

So yeah, shot that and headed back to golf because Athletics needed pics of the awards at the end and some golfer shots since we don't have any on the web photo store yet.

Well my last photo assignment for the day starts in 30 minutes so in a nutshell, shot the rest of golf that was supposed to end at 11:30 but ended at 3:30!

Missed the first game of baseball but got the second since it was a double header (they lost but theres another game tomorrow) Oh wait, I shot mens Tennis before I made it over to baseball.

Finally done with sports for the day

Then it was COFAC for another music related concert thing and now some folk singer concert thing in the Union at 10:15.

Long day, love my job though.

adios.

Baseball went a little easier today. Didn't get anything phenomenal but better.

Started the day off with a 9am interview for an article I'm writing on Ethanol. Went okay, never did a phone interview before. Headed over to a gas station for some quotes from an attendant and got the thing typed up in the library.

Golf was FREEZING this morning. Got to ride around in a cart for a change so that was cool. I'll be back out there at 7:30am when they tee off tomorrow. Why they can't start later on a Saturday morning, I don't know. Guess it's good because I got Tennis, Baseball doubleheader and 2 news assignments tomorrow. No, make that 3 news assignments. Got to take as many assignments as I can handle to try and save up for the summer.

Well I'm hungry again so I'm out.

I should probably get going soon but had my first baseball game of the year. Didn't really get anything to special. Had to go over to Softball and shoot that too. I'm going to need to talk to the other photographers because I can't shoot EVERY SINGLE event here on campus and still get my school work done. Seriously. I don't know how next year is going to be when the other two guys graduate.

That's the problem with going to a school with no photojournalism program. There's no one here to shoot! It's rough but I'll get by. I can only hope for my shooters next year or it's going to be a very long year.

Other than that, I found out I got my internship over at the Topeka Capital-Journal so I was excited to hear that. Only thing is, it's not paid so hopefully I can find a part-time job when I'm down there. Got to figure out if I get credit too. Busy busy.

Well I'm out.
