TOO MUCH PHOTO-J!!!

J2000 - Islamic Center

I was working on a project for my Cross Cultural Journalism class which took me to the ICCM (Islamic Center of Central Missouri). It was nice to shoot something for a class that wasn't photo. It was less stressful and kinda fun.

PhotoJ - Fill/Balance

Just some more school work. This assignment couldn't have come at a worse time though, the first assignment that requires bright sunlight was in the first week that we didn't have that. Also it is CPOY (College Photographer of the Year) this week and I would much rather sit in the dark room and watch the judges work than anything else, but I found my way out side during one of the few hours we had nice light and made this shot.

PhotoJ - Color Correction

So this should have been put up about a week ago but better now than never. This is using gels to make a flash match the available light, in color and damn it, it is hard! Anyway this a photo from 2 days before the election as volunteers are being organized. yea the color's look a little off but that is kinda impossible to get around and is easily fixed if I had put it in photoshop.

Do you know who won?

Cause we sure as hell don't. All I know is that all my friends were crying, hugging each other, yelling. Are those good signs? = )



What a show, the whole town went crazy. People were honking their horns, running up to each other yelling, hugging, or even just giving high fives. I might do a multimedia thing with all of my election photo's from the last few months, but that will wait to be seen.
