Don’t worry about being better than anybody you know personally or whose work you admire. Simply try to be better tomorrow than you were yesterday. You are not so much in competition with others as you are with yourself. Be your own toughest critic. Show only your best and develop your self-editing abilities so you know just what your best is.

I’m pretty excited about this 1st place winner in the UPAA MIC this past month. I was confident it would do well, I’m pretty attached to the photo and I enjoyed taking it. When we scouted the location we were expecting another typical lab. The plant growing area turned out to be beautifully lit and full of possibilities. I knew what I wanted to do right away. One hurdle, though, was the space. It was only big enough for one person. Luckily I love these challenges. For this shot I jammed by camera in to the corner on a boom and tethered it to my laptop where I could fire it off remotely. I displayed what the camera was seeing using LiveView and stood right next to the researcher, Ching-Hong Yang, where I could give him directions and move him in the frame. I love it.

The most amazing skiing video you’ve seen in a while. And it’s not what you think it is.
Two of my photos placed this month in the University Photographers’ Association of America (UPAA) monthly image competition and I am thrilled! My photo of Lupe Fiasco taken at this year’s Pantherfest placed second in the news, spot, & feature category. The team photo of the women’s basketball team standing in the shape of a heart (their team motto this year is “one team, one beat”) placed third in the sports features & illustrations category.

An old picture of my favorite rooster. His name is/was “Dude” and he was the best runt of a rooster ever. Whenever I’d come home he would run up to me and stand on my feet. He also loved to be held like a baby. Quite a relaxed bird. You can’t tell, but I was actually holding him up to the camera in this picture while he was laying in my left hand. I believe this was taken in 2004. I haven’t had a rooster since.
