Framing Memorial Hall

Seeing that Memorial Hall seems to be the most photographed building on campus, I wanted to try and take a different and more interesting approach to photographing it. I decided to use the leaves of one of the trees in front of Memorial Hall to frame the steeple. I found a nice gap in the

Caught in a moment

During a shootout hunt during the Mountain Workshops a feature photo late Friday night, I stumbled upon a Halloween party in Murray, Ky. The party, lit by strobe and Christmas lights, was like a visual candy store for me. The theme of the shootout was “Friday Night Lights.” I feel like I captured that in

Inside the helmet

Just moments before kick-off at home football games, Coach Brooks and his team crowd anxiously in the giant inflatable helmet that is in the corner of the field.

Small town buzz

Growing up in a small town, I’ve always bypassed the quaint, local businesses that grace almost every corner. When I finally had the opportunity to visit a local barber shop, I realized I hadn’t just passed up stores, I had been missing human connections that were being created and strengthened within my own hometown.

The Colors of Fall

The Fall colors make this time of year one of my favorite times. While at Nolin Lake over the past weekend, I went to a point that looked out over the lake. The Fall colors in the trees surrounding the lake made for an amazing view. Although still a bit early in the season for

Snow Day

I was looking through old photos and I came across this photo I took last winter. It was a beautiful snowy day in Carlisle, Kentucky, and I enjoyed the view from the back of a tractor.  Although my fingers and toes aren’t happily anticipating the cold, I can’t help but be excited for the first
