Power Plant at Sunset

Luckily this is steam coming out of the towers and not smoke.

Illtrix at Bitter Cold

So this weekend I went to Columbus, Ohio with Illtrix, the freestyle rollerblading club, for the Bitter Cold Showdown competition. Here are some out-takes from that.

Champaign Skyline

Studio Fest

Some stuff from our DI lighting equipment training session, or as I like to call it, the photorgasm.

More Tennis

So lately when I'm shooting tennis I get my standard action shots first and then try and find a different view to show the game in a somewhat more creative way. Here's some out-takes and more unique shots from last nights women's tennis match.

More Fog

Here's another fog shot from earlier in the day yesterday- this one ran A1 in the DI today.

Fog

Some stuff from our foggy night here in Champaign-Urbana- specifically on my walk from the Illini Media Building to Greg Hall, where I'm updating my blog instead of reading for my quiz tomorrow.

Basketball

A few outtakes from the Basketball game at Assembly Hall on Saturday.

More from Friday tennis.

Photo Boot Camp

Something different from the tennis match tonight.

New Zealand Stuff

Today I had a photo essay on my time in New Zealand run in the Daily Illini. It turned out very well and you can see the slide show on the DI website. Hopefully it will inspire someone to study abroad there or something. It was fun to get that stuff published though. Here are a few of the shots from that.

This will now be my photo blog

So I just got back from 6 months in New Zealand and I kind of got used to blogging about stuff while I was there. Since my life is back to being regular again, it's not so exciting. Therefore I'm going to use this blog as my photo blog. I'll post interesting personal photos as well as outtakes from Daily Illini assignments and such.

Another strange dream

This was part of a longer dream that I mostly don’t remember, but this is the end: John F Kennedy was giving a speech about the transition from gas power to electricity and he said, “How are we going to find our way in the dark? The same way we always have- with a flame!” The crowd cheered as he lit a gas lamp with a plastic cigarette lighter. The thing exploded and turned into the entire building he was in exploding also.
