Steve Jobs

As some of you may know by now Wednesday October 5, 2011 Steve Jobs, CEO and co-founder of Apple and Pixar, passed away at the age of 56. He suffered from a rare form of pancreatic cancer and at earlier years had a kidney transplant. He did, however, pass away peacefully with his family by his side. To a lot of us Steve Jobs was the mastermind behind Apple, genius, a visionary, and several other names. He changed the world in every aspect of our senses and even changed peoples lives in ways of living. Without Jobs success and creativity many people today wouldn't be successful as well. 
With Tim Cook having the weight of the world on his shoulders now being the new CEO of Apple, he now has a few issues of living up to the legendary Steve Jobs. With their style being a bit different, Apple Co. now relies on Cook and many of Apple's employees to keep it's business progressing.

Big Air, Small Ramp.

Went to Pittsburg's local skatepark to check out what was going on today. Not a lot was happening except the usual little kids running around with a few teens knowing what they were doin'.

 With the sun already going down I held the flash off to the left as I quickly stepped onto the ramp to get the shot from below before he came back down to land the trick.

Photographer's FORUM Contest!

I've received an email not too long ago about Photographer's FORUM 32nd Annual College and High School Photography Contest that is sponsored by Nikon! I could put all the information on this post but instead to make it easier for those who really would like to find out more I'll post a link where not only can you find out more about this contest but also enter! Just click --> http://pfmagazine.com/photography-contest/enter-contest-online/

Last year I had entered a few of my photos with one of them making it into the contest finalists, top 8% of all entries, which was published in the hardcover book Best of College Photography 2011. 

This year I'll be entering one of my more recently taken photos of Stephanie Feagins.

Hopefully this image does just as good!

New Neighbors

Some of you, students of P.S.U., have known or heard of the "new neighbors" that live here in Pittsburg Kansas on Broadway. They are a group of people from California and Florida that own UTB Life$tyle Company. A wide span from media to clothing. I will be doing a little project with them throughout the semester. Kind of a short documentary of them moving into a town not knowing its layout. They are planning on having a barbershop, studio, and their clothing store all in this one building. During the night they wanted me to mention it will be a party house. More details on everything I've mentioned will come soon.

Photography

So my blog will be about photography and to start it off in that direction this post will be about my favorite picture I took for the day. The image above was taken in Joplin, MO at one of the hospitals. Not too sure which one since I was with the family, kind of just tagging along. I was first taking pictures of the muscle car outside but when I moved to the next window for a better angle, I found this little guy. Turned out to be a good shot along with a few others with different depths of field. I did notice however dirt on the lens once uploaded onto my computer. Easy solve but I still like to keep it original by showing my work straight from the camera. Hope you guys like it. Dueces

Welcome

Hello everyone!

This is, what I would consider, my first actual blog site. I've had one before but never really knew what I was getting into. It was more of a friend making me create one that I never used. Now knowing more of what blogging is and it's popularity growing, I've decided to take a class to learn more. I would like to thank those who I've told of this site, for coming here to check it out! I would like it even more for your opinion on anything! Just comment below. Anything about the design, grammar, or even ideas. For now I just threw something together to get the site going. I've also set the commenting to where those of you not wanting to go through the process of creating an account to leave a simple comment. You can simply leave it anonymous but I would like if you could leave a first name. That about sums it up for my first post. Be sure to check it out again since I'll be on here a lot!
