Round Two of Missourian: Staff Photography

Today was my first day as a staff photographer for the Missourian. There unfortunately wasn't much news going on, so I was assigned to photograph the weather. I found this challenging because there wasn't a lot of action outside because it was so cold and there wasn't a lot of snow that could have added to the photos. Here are the unedited versions:

Audio Slideshow

I chose a video from The New York Time's "One in 8 Million" project. To me, the most interesting part was the story about being robbed. I just wanted to him to all the sudden talk faster to hear what happened. The intro, leading into this story, felt kind of long. He said a lot of interesting things that added detail to the story, but I kept thinking there has to be more to this story. The detail shots were relevant and advanced the story. The subject himself has a sense of humor and personality that the photographer did a great job of demonstrating.

Painting with light

For decades, horror movies have made a name for themselves by frightening audiences with ghosts, aliens, dead little girls and supernatural beings emerging from household television sets. This may not be so far from reality as scientists are currently developing televisions with the capability for 3D display. The first commercially available no-glasses model is predicted for release in Japan in November 2011.

Him and his wife, Kathy Sproules (to the right of him) tailgate at this spot every game day. This week, they brought heaters for inside the tent and their family friends they hadn’t seen in 20 years. The goal was to convince their friend’s daughter to be a freshman at Mizzou next year.
