While I’ve already obsessed on these pages about my photojournalism portfolio, which in many ways was also a “best of 2009″ as the majority of the photos I selected were made recently, I felt that it would be a good idea to revisit my nature images from 2009.  Along the journey back in time through my Lightroom library, I also found a lot of quirky images that I really enjoy, but that I don’t always have an opportunity to show.  So here, then, are two portfolios from 2009: the best of my nature work, and some of my more off-beat frames. I’m anxious to see what 2010 will bring!

My Best Nature Images of 2009

After scratching my head for a while to figure out what I was going to do for my final project in Staff Photojournalism, I realized that I should expand on the month-long architecture project that began back in October and ran in the Missourian last week.  And unlike the other slideshows this semester, I made this one at home, using Premiere Pro (the school only has Final Cut Express, which, unlike it’s bigger brother, cannot handle square pixels, meaning that all images are warped).  All comments welcome!

At long last, our group project for Advanced Techniques is done….sort of.  In many respects, this is a first draft of our story of Hulett House Gym, a mixed martial arts team in Columbia, Mo.  I’m sure that come this fall, when classes reconvene, we can find a way to perfect this into something that we might submit to cPOY.

Many thanks to my teammates, Chris Dunn, Elisa Day and Matt Cloud, for their hard work towards making this project a success.
