My Photography

My beginnings in photojournalism

I am currently learning more about how to take beautiful pictures. This semester, I am also taking Survey of Photojournalism. We have done a few photo assignments already. One of the first assignment was to take a picture of an interesting sculpture.

Here is how it turned out:

This next picture I took at UF's 2010 Gator Gallop event for another journalism course, Multimedia Reporting. This was a random picture that I rediscovered while scrolling through old files on my computer. Needless to say, it is quite interesting.

These last two pictures are probably of moments that I had the most fun being a part of. The bottom-left picture is one I took of my friend, Skye Schmelzer, who is also a member of Gainesville's Students for a Democratic Society. The one at the bottom-right is from a Krav Maga session taught at UF Hillel.
