Fish Shocking

Fish Shocking, as far as I understand, is the process of electrically stunning fish long enough to gather them up. In this case, the Sunday Creek Watershed Group did so in order to identify, count, and weigh the specimen as a measure of how well their water is doing. So […]

Sunday Creek

Our second Picture Story assignment is “Place or Issue.” Since I couldn’t decide between the two I decided to attempt tackling both with the subject of clean water. Yesterday I spent some time with Michelle of the Sunday Creek Watershed Group. She took me to two sites: one in desperate […]

Percy the Pawpaw

For our first Picture Story assignment (one day event, shoot 100 frames) I stayed at the Pawpaw Festival and followed a giant pawpaw mascot through his evening. Below are some of my original selects and then my final layout. This course is challenging not only because we continually push ourselves […]

Pawpaw Time

This weekend the good people of Integration Acres put on the area’s biggest/best event: The Ohio Pawpaw Festival. After my work with them last spring on my quilt barn and goat projects, they invited me back to document their amazing festival. I’m mainly shooting video but as that slowly comes […]

critters

At a county fair with Priscilla. Which county, I couldn’t tell you. But I can tell you that the rides were closed and that water balloon volleyball is the least exciting sport I’ve seen. So enjoy all the critters, minus the rabbit and poultry barn.

Ohio State Fiddling Contest

…held in Stuart’s Opera House in Nelsonville tonight. I stayed for younger and older age categories and kind of skipped out on the my-aged people. It was nice to have a competition indoors (finally) so that windscreens and deadcats weren’t a necessity. The tradeoff was of course having to really […]

Galax II

I’m only staying in Galax for two days, enough to get the jist of things without becoming overwhelmed by the crowd this weekend. This just about gets the job done. If I had to chose a single image for the event, or possibly even for the whole project, it would […]

Galax I

When I arrived at the Old Fiddler’s Convention around noon only one fiddler was awake and jamming. I circled the entire park, talked to a few vendors, and was advised to come back around 4pm. Upon my return at 4:30 some audience members were settling in but really I don’t […]

Clifftop III

Let’s get down to the music. The first, Bob Shank leading a slow banjo jam. Next two, jamming with Gailanne & Roger of Jubal’s Kin, Andrew Zinn on banjo, and two other lovelies. Last, but in many ways the best: this still from a video portrait of Pete Easton. I […]

Clifftop II

I spent my second day of the festival alternately worried that I would 1) overshoot to ruin my school year, and 2) undershoot to ruin my project. While this should have worked toward the perfect amount of footage gathered, I can’t say that was the case. At least there was […]
