American Responce Launches website
I’m involved in capstone Project 573, the first of it’s kind. Combining the efforts of 12 MU journalists from six different journalism sequences. We report and provide in-depth coverage of how American’s are adapting to the recession. A personal and revealing glimpse to how the recessing has impacted Mid-Missouri. It’s taken a lot of effort and time to create, today was its launch date.

Project 573 Equipment
- Pictures Andrew Feiler and I took of the spiffy equipment we get to use for Project 573
- Our range of lenses
Newly released Nikon D7000
A Jag rig for shooting HD video on-the-go
A Hn4 Zoom audio recorder
As equipment managers, Andrew Feiler and I put a lot of thought and consideration into acquiring the proper equipment for our project. It was our quest to research effective gear with high usability and mobility. We knew that not all members have extensive knowledge of cameras or audio recorders, so we wanted easy-to-learn equipment. We gathered the majority of our information and reviews from Ken Rockwell and B&H.
Look what I got
Tomorrow is the MU vs kU rivalry showdown. LG Patterson got me on the court to shoot it because he loves me so much. So I rented a 300 mm from the school to help kick butt in this momentous occasion.

Camera Tilt, Photographers like it.
So last week I submitted an entry to a friend’s blog, Shit Photojournalists Like. The site takes a very sarcastic perspective to photographers in the industry. It was launched in January and has since gone viral internationally. Here is my post:
Tired of taking the same old photograph? There is a solution, my friend, and what a solution it is. TILT YOUR CAMERA.
THIS IS A NEW AND INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.
We are embarking on an age of diagonals and slants. No longer is it acceptable to take pictures in a strict horizontal or vertical fashion. Photographers want to be noticed, so what’s the solution? Drop that elbow and lean like a cholo.
It enables you to control the attention of a photograph while creating an “abstract” image. You are no longer just a photojournalist, you are an ar-teest. No professional would dare return to an editor without at least a few tilted photos. Every situation deserves a skewed approach.
Sure, there’s the old-fashioned photo editors who would tape a level to the top of your camera, but what do they know about real photography?
