LA ART WALK

11 November 2010: Me and Stef brave the cold streets of Los Angeles for the monthly Art Walk. Scouting. My first real trip with my new camera. If you haven't noticed by now, I have an obsession with depth of field.









This kid was about seven or eight years old. So cute. When/if I have kids I'm going to fully support them in anything thy want to do or try.





























I love live art.

Obama's Speech at USC

22 October 2010: Thousands of people lined up for five hours to watch Obama speak for about.. 20 minutes. Good times.











Suffering from Obama stroke. The result of standing for five hours straight in the sun. Joy.



A protester who was screaming about abortions, the good of God and free speech.







Eager beavers.





Despite running around in impossible humidity with a sweater on, I had fun. Met some cool ass people, including a photographer who has the original negatives from when he shot Jimi Hendrix. Obama's speech was.. Obama. I don't know how to describe it. He's a great speaker with incredible charm. It was amazing to get to hear the president speak, even though I couldn't see his face due to a teleprompter in the way -_-

JACC Weekend

15-16 October 2010: The Journalism Association of Community Colleges (JACC) had a conference at CSUF. Basically a way for journalism majors to network and attend workshops to learn more bout their craft and compete in contests. I got honorable mention in the Sports Photo.



Obviously, I was super excited. See the photo at photoblogandjunk.blogspot.com

Some pics from CSUF and the conference:



I got to experience glass blowing first hand!









My feature photo entry:





I want to try it one day. But knowing my friends, I'll probably just end up making a bunch of bongs.





A couple of my other choices for the Sports Photo Competition:





I love Talon Marks!



At the awards ceremony. We're hopeful haha.



Can't wait for spring when we get to go to Sacramento!
