Action/Sports Shoot-Track day!

For the action/sports photo shoot, I decided that i would roam on down to the LBCC track and check out the huge track meet that was going on Friday, May 20th, 2011. After doing some investigating, I found out that the schools that were competing were all private christian schools grades 1st-6th. It was semi-difficult to get some good shots as there were so many parents/kids/teachers running around everywhere, but overall it was an enjoyable experience.

Week 6-News Feature photo

Jeanie Weedman, Shop manager/Piercer. Jeanie is the head chick in charge and oversees alot of what goes on, and makes sure the shop is running well.

For this week's photojournalism assignment, I chose to snap some photos of my friends down at Downtown Tattoo and Piercing. A huge thanks goes out to the ladies down there for being so helpful and let me run amok with a camera around the shop. Another huge thanks goes out to Cassie and her family for letting me take pictures of her, even though she was extremely nervous. The shoot went very well, a little awkward at times, but overall, the pics came out good. Downtown Tattoo and Piercing is located at 224 Washington St SW Albany, OR.
