This is why you need a good Art Director. I spent some time with Bethany here way back in the beginning on June 2009, got some shots, and even wrote about it on this site. If you go back to that post, you'll notice that this shot didn't make it to my 'top picks'. Now that I look at it, I can't help but wonder why it didn't. I guess that's why we have Art Directors...

Here's a shot that actually made it to my 'top picks' and made it to print. Both of them actually (the little one of the rifle squad). The thing that makes this photo work is the fact that the marching band is way back in the distance - nothing wrong with the marching band, except for the fact that they weren't marching, they were walking. They're way out of focus (intentionally) so you wouldn't know that, unless I hadn't just told you. Doh!

I have to admit, I get excited seeing my work in print and on the web (on sites other than my own). I was having a conversation with a few students from the university the other night when they said something along the lines of, 'oh, the website changed, or something...' - so I decided to navigate to the site to check it out. Hey, two of my photos are on the homepage, cool!

OK, so it's not that cool. But hey, that guy there is the a super-smart man, and I mean smart.

There's more photos coming for the JMU Homepage. I'm not sure when they'll be arriving, but they're in the works.
