The Central Corridor Project - Update

This is the new edit of mu multi-media piece about the construction on University ave in Saint Paul. I changed a few things, added updates and the closing of Porky’s. Please tell me what you think!

Hanging of BFA Senior Exhibition

My gradating class and I hung our Senior Exhibition Through the Noise yesterday. We had a great time. Its awesome to finally see all of our hard work displayed!

Baby Bird

Baby bird birched on my car this evening. Wouldn't move until we brought the dog with in ten feet of it! It also left me a little white present....but very cute either way!

Spring

Went for an early morning run yesterday. Saw so many Goslings! I love Spring!

Damien's First Communion

Photos from my finance's younger brother's first communion.

Flood Continuted

Flood

Two classmates and I traveled to Fargo, ND and North-west MN yesterday to photograph the flooding. We wanted to do a multi-media piece on the people effected but were impeded by a pretty big snow storm, and couldn't get to the town we were going. We are going to go back when things settle down and do a piece on the after-math instead. Landscapes of the flood are on their way.

I just started the process of re-editing my Photographic Essay Book, here is one of the first images I've finished. I'm pretty excited, (especially with CS5's way better noise reduction)!

More Central Corridor Project Photos

SPE

Last month I traveled to Atlanta with a classmate to the Society for Photographic Education national conference. We both recieved a travel scholarship through Ai Minnesota to attend. It was an incredible experience. We were able to attend numerous presentations, the most memorable being Abelardo Morell and Robert Hirsch.

The conference was really inspiring, and also a lot of fun! It was great to meet and talk with photographers from all over the country. We made one really good friend from Philadelphia and are planning to travel to next years conference in San Francisco next year!

Sneak Peak: Porky's St. Paul Final Weekend

On Saturday I photographed the final weekend of Porky's in St. Paul. Here is a very rough edit of what I shot there: the final product will be part of my Central Corridor Project. I shot video and still images as well as conducted audio interviews with some of the patrons. Next I will photograph it abandoned.

I am very sad to see Porky's close. This will likely be the case for a lot of businesses on University ave over the next few years as the construction of the new light-rail system thickens.

PSA Greenhood Scholarship/Publication

This past summer I won the Photographic Society of America's Greenhood Scholarship along with three other Ai students across the country. The PSA Journal's February edition has an article featuring myself and the other scholarship winners. This is the first time I've been published! In september, I will have an exhibition at the PSA National Conference in Colorado Springs, CO.



Also featured: Jennifer Coudron (Denver), Todd Jacobsen (Salt Lake City and John McDonald (Atlanta).

St. Paul Architecture/Misc

I photographed some architecture in St. Paul on Friday for my Art Direction class Travel/Relocation Guide project, and some misc. shots along the way.

Multimedia Final

Today I completed my course Introduction to Multimedia for Photographer. This in my final project. Since this past fall I have been working on a project on the Midway and Frogtown areas of St. Paul. This is an extension of that project. I will be heavily expanding on this over the next couple of months, and plan to document the entire process of the Lightrail construction.
