Missouri Photo Workshop

I just learned that I am accepted to the Missouri Photo Workshop starting next week.

It is "a remarkable documentary effort. Since 1949 more than 2,000 photographers from around the world have worked in more than 40 small Missouri communities to create a historic and unique archive."

It is run by the University of Missouri-Columbia's School of Journalism

Looking forward....

Kids are Back in School...

This photo is from last year's girl scout trip to the Omaha Zoo. We were able to sleep overnight in the aquarium and view the animals in the dark. It was a treat, also to avoid all of the crowds of people usually there.

Now school has started again. The weather is getting colder. A few leaves have fallen and the alarm rings me out of bed at 6am. Kids are excited and learning new things everyday. Soccer, piano, drama and playdates..... the schedules go on.... but there is also some free time during the day. Everything is just... well more... scheduled... :)

Wedding Photojournalism

When I don't have an assignment to do, I have been doing wedding photography. I find it very satisfying because it's always a celebratory atmosphere. People are aware and want you to be there with the camera. Ample opportunities arise to find that documentary shot. For me I enjoy capturing the emotion. Very few of the photos are staged but of course there are times where deliberate photos are necessary for preserving the day.
