Grandma

I can't believe it's been four years since she has been gone. I went through some old photos of her today. It reminded me that I need to get on the video I never finished for my family. I followed her battle with cancer in one of my first photo classes for my long term story and after she passed away I wanted to piece together all the memories throughout the years. I guess I just haven't had the courage to finish it. I think it's time. I miss her and hopefully it will bring me closer to her again. Stay tuned for that but for now here are some photos of her. At her favorite time of the year, Christmas. Watching me be a fatty baby. and finally our last photo together and last day we spent together. Love you and miss you everyday gram's.

Wind Energy

Josh (the right photo) and I went to the windmill museum here in lubbock to cover a class on wind energy. We got to go inside a wind turbine and Josh was able to climb all 160 ft to the top. I on the other hand could not since I did not have proper shoes on. So I stayed on the bottom and photographed the students and Josh climb.

Palo Duro Canyon State Park

In April I went to Palo Duro Canyon State Park with Logan, a reporter with the A-J, for our summer outdoor series. This was my first big video project. I've been working on it for the last three weeks. When I finished it Final Cut crashed and somehow I lost the finished product even though I saved it. Luckily, another photog found it in my auto save folder. But the last two hours of saved video was corrupted but at least I didn't lose the whole project and was able to finish it without starting all over. whew. I still have a lot to learn but here it is...
