….I still don’t completely understand this.

For lab in advanced techniques we trotted out to Rock Bridge State Park, cooked out, messed around, had a bunch of laughs, and then had even more when we did the actual lab work. The assignment is called painting with light. Using long exposures, flashes, flashlights, and a lot of people manipulating those lights we pulled this off. Not too shabby for a bunch of kids out freezing their asses off while trying to take pictures.

Poked my nose in on Esten and Anjali shooting their metal and glass, and started snapping off a few shots during prep. The girl knows her way around piping.

I shot the glass half of this assignment.

“Hot Shots”

“Fire and Ice”

Little bit of trouble with getting the right amounts of rubber cement but still cool stuff.

Hell of a weekend for taking photos. I probably shot somewhere around 1200 images starting on Thursday night and ending on Sunday. (Note: these are all quick and dirty processed photos so apologies for them being off color or grainy)

Friday night I drove to Nebraska to see some friends and shoot the football game. I ended up in a corn field maze. A corn field in Nebraska? No way!

Poor, poor, Huskers. They didn’t stand a chance. But they’re special people by these photos.

Jeff packing up after the game. Exciting. Random. All of the above.

Drove over to Omaha before heading back to Columbia and visited my sister, brother in law and nephew. Oh hey, this is the first time Brayden’s made it on here! He looks happy to be here, no?
