Look ma, I got my wings! This was a fun, but very cold assignment...



In class painting with light. I love the way the moon looks behind the tree because the clouds were moving pretty fast and gave it a spooky feel. If you look closely, you can see Colleen as a ghost in front of the cabin.

Yoga- the best part of waking up

Erika Breedlove, 24, stretches across her mat during the sunrise yoga class at the Student Recreational Center on the MU campus. Erika teaches nine different classes a week while studying for her masters’ degree in Educational Administration at MU. “Yoga was something I was interested in learning more about,” Erika said. The sunrise yoga class meets at 6:30 a.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. “It’s neat because in yoga there’s no competition, it’s more about your specific mat and your specific space, so you don’t worry about what others are doing around you.”

...i'm not feeling so good

I came up with this idea after a failed attempt at shooting my glass assignment. As seen below, I had an idea of using class reflections and color to get some great shots. I think I did, but they had no content to them, and were not journalistic. Therefore I decided to shoot a commercial-type ad with Alka-Seltzer and a thermometer because the flu season is approaching. I was very happy with my end results, and hope you all are too. Thank you to my partner, Alex G, for putting up with my semi-perfectionist ways... and for dropping the tablets in.
