Stuff that I've shot in Midland

Just some kids painting a sign for this thing called safety town. Safety Town is for incoming kindergartners to drive big wheels through and get tickets if they drive recklessly or too fast. We covered it last year so we just decided to do a feature of kids repainting the buildings in Safety Town.

This was an assignment to shoot an archery event that was for charity. The guy pulling the bow out of the fake deer was quite interesting. He wouldn't stop giving the kid behind him advice and I think the kid was getting annoyed. Also, when they pulled their bows out of the targets he would announce that they had "target turds" on them and needed to be cleaned off...



The USA women's softball team came to Midland and played the Lady Explorers. The top photo is Cat Osterman winding up for a ridiculously fast pitch, she was amazing. The bottom one is Lady Explorer Brenna Przeslawski swinging and missing, the story of the game. USA beat the Lady Explorers 14-0.


These ladies got to tour the new fancy restaurants at The H hotel along with about fifty other people. The restaurants are really cool, but I will probably never go in any of them because they are super upscale.

Here's more of what I've shot so far.

This was on my first assignment, which was supposed to be pictures of a canoe race, which I got, this was just a fun feature. The guy on the right built this canoe over the past six weeks at the Nature Center with money endowed by the lady in the canoe.


Good old memorial day, these guys were pretty funny.



These two pictures are from a wedding at a nursing home in Midland, they were the funniest couple and it was the sweetest situation. I did a soundslides you can see it go here http://home.ourmidland.com/multiMedia/soundslides/tendercare/


This was bizarre, it was called the Children's Cheering Carpet. It was this projection screen on the floor that an Italian company brought to Midland. The screen reacted to touch and had different shapes that moved around and made different sounds.

Aside from editing Tuesday through Friday I have been shooting as needed. Here is some of the stuff that I've shot so far.

Up north





We went up north this past weekend for my gramma's memorial. It was good to see all of my family, but hard just the same to go through with the services. The Fennuff's came up with us and we had fun with the girls.

It's been a while




Well I haven't been updating because I have been incredibly busy. In the weeks since I last updated, I turned 22, got a new computer and a cat. We filled Brett's position and will have a new staffer here in two weeks. These are pictures of Gus, my new cat, and Tony, Amy and I went and had drinks to celebrate my bday.
