Took photos of Seniorfest '06. I tried to get a picture for class, but instead I found a dance-off... for Seniors.
New Ballpark
Went Busch Stadium in St. Louis. I saw the Giants lose to the Cardinals. Its a nice stadium and very clean, but way too much red. They also insist on playing God Bless America before every game.
Puppets for Christ
Went to St. Louis for the weekend. Saw the Giants play the Cardinals and part of a photojournalism conference. There was a Jesus festival in the park. I didn't really talk to the Christians, so I don't know much about it. I thought this was funny (Photo taken by my neighbor).
Skate Park
Had to take an interaction photo. It took me a bit, but finally found one at the skate park. I didn't use this photo, but I like it anyway.
Septemberfest
Went to Harrisburg for a Septemberfest festival. Harrisburg is about 10 miles north of Columbia and is a very small town. Small towns in Missouri like to hold Tractor Pulls. They had one for kids called a Pedal Pull. Kids pedal a tractor pulling weights in the back. The kid that can pull the tractor the furthest wins. This turned out to be the state championships. The winner gets to go to South Dakota for the nationals.
Greek Times
Went to a tailgate party to try to get a photo for class. Nothing came with it, but an interesting insight into a part of Missouri I don't engage with much.
Latest from Class
We had to take portraits. I think I found the wingnuts. In other news, I really enjoy my assistantship position. Mainly because the Global Journalist has already given me the password to look up the latest photos from the AP news wire. I am also compiling a list of blogs for their links section. So if you know of any useful blogs- as in news and such- send the link my way.
Not surprisingly, I've been busy here at Mo's. There has been some good news however.: I landed an assistantship with Global Journalist. I work mostly with their online team to ensure their transition to the web goes smoothly. But I will also take on other publishing duties as well. My hours can range from 10 to 20 a week, but its a new position so I will have to see.
I also was accepted as a crew volunteer for the Missouri Photo Workshop. The program runs in late-September, and I will get to work closely with some top-notch photojournalists. Names will come soon; although I do know Kim Komenich of the SF Chronicle will be there. My official position is printer.

Thai Trailer Trash
This would be the infamous Cooper's Landing I wrote about in my 8/7/06 post. They really do serve authentic Thai food out of a trailor. I would have taken more scenery photos because it really is nice, but the sun had just about set on Friday and I did not bring my tripod.
