Sleepy

In February I had the um... "privilege" of covering the Victoria Livestock Show. I, of course, as an employee that usually doesn't have to go to work until 1 p.m. (meaning that I usually get up around noon), had to be there at 9 a.m...sans coffee. Needless to say, I was tired. Now, getting to my point either my mindset while shooting informed this set of pictures or it was just the morning. These aren't even all of the photos that i took on the theme of "sleepy times at the Victoria Livestock Show" but they're my favs. Coffee...it's important.

Rabbit judging.

Sleepy queens court.

Yep...that's a spit bubble.

Ok, they aren't really tired but I did really like their faces.

Ok, have a nap then fire ze missles.

Dianna Stanger

My thoughts today: I have SO many photos to blog. Not knowing where to start I figured that I would (finally!) show off photos that I took for our newspaper's magazine GC. I shot them in February but the magazine just came out like last week. I've never shot for a magazine before and I'm not gonna lie...it was pretty fun. I also got to be a little loose (ok pretty loose) on my ethical editing standards. Let's just say that I was a little drunk with the power.

This is Dianna Stanger. She owns a ranch, some restaurants, a bunch of other stuff that I can't remember and flies a helicopter to work and like owns the airport in Calhoun County. She's pretty cool. This is her with her grandfather's plane. They only ended up running like 1 1/2 photos in the magazine but I liked all of these so you will be subjected to them. If anyone actually looks at this thing still.

Houston Fountain

Last weekend's adventures with the Michiganders found us in Houston, Tx where we found one of the coolest things you could put in a park. I like it better than the Chicago face thing cause it really creeps me out. Plus, y'all should know by now that I can't turn down a good silhouette.

Cute Kids

I recently did a story on this girl's parents being an interfaith marriage. This little girl wouldn't leave me alone. She loved me! It was super cute. Unfortunately though I think that this was my favorite photo from the shoot. Oh well.

Only in Texas

Only in Texas would you find this religious symbol.



Is it bad if I'm getting used to this sort of thing?

Most Popular Book

According to a librarian that I met today on assignment this is the most popular book in the Victoria Public Library. At least I know that it is always there in case I get myself in trouble.

I've been coming home lately smelling of various farm animals. It's a good thing that I live alone, except for my bunny...who is also a farm animal. Perhaps the world is trying to tell me I've missed my calling.
