Asheboro High School vs Wheatmore High School

Desmond Trogdon (Blue) for Asheboro High School has a clear shot to the in-zone as his team mate Jalen Ettson number three for Asheboro hold the defender back. Its that time of the year. Football players slamming into each other for the great American sport that many gather to cheer the team on. Friday night skies are filled with lights from stadiums. Cheerleaders cheer with every good play as they try to get the crowd hyped up. Boys pound fist and shout to see who can be the loudest. Yes this sport is truly an American sport that I have the honor of covering.

Up until this point my confidence level has been ok, with the exception of summer semester. This semester we are introduced to Multimedia, in this we combine multiple types of different media, bet you couldn’t have guessed that. Being used to photography this idea of audio combined with moving pictures and audio introduces uncharted realms for myself. However, with the guidance if our instructor and my classmates we will be able to work through this and succeed. The reasoning behind multimedia is because most photographers are expected to do this now. I am learning very quickly that much like sharks, we photographers must learn to move on and like a Chameleon we must learn to change to quickly adapt to our environment.

Today's blog was brought to by the number 1.


Back in the swing of things. School started back this semester and in our Digital Photo class we were given an assignment to photograph the umber 1, 2, and 3. Also we had to have individual frames of something red, green, blue. In the import process we had to add the proper keywords, certain words that are embedded into the image making it easy to identify the photographer, location, date, time, equipment used and much more. With this assignment I wanted to stretch myself and do macro, I don’t have a lot of practice with the type of photography that makes small things big but I wanted to get comfortable in it, so I practiced while getting school done.

Trump Rally in Charlotte, NC









The Trump rally in Charlotte North Carolina was
a heated one. My first rally that I have been to before. Our instructor, Jay Capers, told us that if there was ever a candidate to come to North Carolina to go a photograph it. So 3 other classmates and me went to Charlotte yesterday to see what went down with the GOP candidate. I have to say, not what I expected, 2 men were stirring up the crowd that was waiting to in line to get in to the Charlotte convention center. Tempers got ugly and voices got ugly. But it surprised me to see a few go up to the Hillary supporters and shake hands and act like they were friends, many lessons to be learned for their actions.
