Race and Police

This is a photo illustration I did for a piece on "Race and the Police" in Columbia. Special thanks to Jarrad Henderson, Joel Kowsky, and Vivian Esparza for all their help. Special thanks to Josh Bickel who did some color retouching.

Pink Hijab Day

Thanks to two of my good photo friends, I now have the ability to post photos MUCH larger than before. I blew up my last post to make sure it works, and it looks so much better. On that note, I'd thought I'd blog some photos from a recent assignment. It was Pink Hijab Day on Wednesday. The MU Muslim Student's Organization had a table outside Memorial Union promoting breast cancer awareness. They donned pink Hijabs in support, but it was also to help break down the stereotypes surrounding Muslim women. A representative from the group told me that they wore them to make people feel more comfortable and therefore more likely to approach them. You can check out a soundslides that ran in the Missourian here. I'm posting a few here to take advantage of my new larger format.

Missouri vs. Texas Football

On Saturday the Missouri Tiger's were taught a few lessons in football by the #3 ranked Texas Longhorns...and I was there to photograph it! You can check out the full published gallery here on the Missourian's website (on a side note, when the slide show comes up, click the little caption button on the bottom to identify my photos from the other Missourian photographers who were there too). I thought I'd add one I liked that didn't make the cut for different reasons. I may tack a few photos on later after I sift through the full outtake.

First Goal Cam

So this was my first attempt at a remote goal cam for soccer. Unfortunately, I only have the necessary gear to remote my Nikon D70s, which, as you can see, has a very low ISO rating. (For those of you who don't speak photo - The picture is grainy, and full of what we call 'digital noise'). Hopefully some day I'll get the pocket wizard cable for my D3 and all will be well in the world.
