I joked with myself most of the quarter that I would find a way to do a project on goats at some point. When I found Integration Acres during my quilt barn quest and got to pet the friendlier goats, I was sold. Chris and Sasha were nice enough to […]

Henry Reed ’11 (part 2)
Scenes from the second day of the Henry Reed Convention. Here’s something a little closer to fiddles. edit: for the curious, a more complete gallery is now available
Henry Reed ’11
Over the weekend Sarah and I trekked down to Glen Lyn, Virginia for the first step of my master’s project: The Henry Reed Memorial Fiddlers Convention. It’s a apparently quite a small, young convention and definitely a great place to start. We attended master classes with Alan Jabbour, made friends […]
Final Doc: Quilt Barns
Maybe the quilt barns are past their prime. From what I understand many are fading and/or peeling, and the barn owners don’t know and don’t even care what to do when the squares start looking terrible. Whatever love there was for this project originally has vanished. Even people like me […]
Final Video: Tangent
My absolute best shooting this quarter has been done at Integration Acres. I’m doing my final video project there but when I bring out the D700 somehow the stress is gone and light just falls into my lens without my having to ask. I’ll have the video done this weekend […]
Quilt Barn Doc – #15
They tell me I don’t understand light. I absolutely understand light. It’s just not always convenient for myself or my subjects. But when it is, I get it. Here’s just about the end of my Athens County Quilt Barn documentary for the quarter.
really busy, y’know: CEW
“Why were you away so long?” Leighton innocently asked when I returned to Creative Endeavors Workshop last week to shoot my short video assignment. The only reply I could think of went something like: “I’m really busy, y’know?” When I showed up today to record a couple extra quotes and […]
Quilt Barn Doc – #4: Critter(s) of the Day
In honor of my birthday, I give you things that make me happy. Also, things that make me want to give up on photojournalism and become a pet photographer instead. These are from Integration Acres in Athens, Ohio; the fourth stop on my quilt barn documentary extravaganza. Also, I swear […]
Quilt Barn Doc – #3
This barn en route to Nelsonville sits on a horse farm. It’s owners were notified that their barn had been chosen for a quilt square, so any culture or dedication to quilt barns is particularly absent here. It seems that the addition of the quilt square has given these owners […]
Audio Slideshow: Mini Golf
In all honesty, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen an audio slideshow that I actually enjoyed. But that was our second assignment in Audio/Video class and so I covered an event in the style I expect to do for a newspaper. Our originals were turned in a group critiqued […]
