Alaska, You're On My Mind!

Homer, Alaska. (2007)
I stood at the edge of the world and took a polaroid.
It's no secret, AK has been weighing heavy on my thoughts lately. It isn't that I want to run as far away as I can from my Ga. roots, it's just that AK is magical....the kind of magic you can't describe to someone unless they've been there.

Photo Snack!

Kellie Buchanan, Auburn Ky. enjoys an afternoon visit with her two oldest sons, Zack, 9 and Jesse, 7. Recovering drug addict, Buchanan gave her mother full custody of the boys when they were both toddlers. Jesse had been sent to time out for "mouthing off" about not wanting to do his homework.

America's Working Class

"It's a really peaceful place to work" said Bowling Green native Lee Alvey of the 110 acre cemetery, where he has been working as a grave digger for 20 years.

Weekly assignment: environmental portraits of anyone that works. The catch, the portraits have to share a theme. My theme was funeral work.

"I did my share of embalming and I just don't care for it anymore," said Kirby Funeral home assistant funeral director, Dwayne Lawrence, Bowling Green, Ky. Here Lawrence is seen in the funeral home casket showroom. "I'll never tell somebody these are our 'cheaper' options because I don't want that to be a factor in their planning. Instead, I say 'these are our more affordable options' and we can go from there."

Molly Ringwald


No, It's not one of my images. It's a still frame from the 80's movie I'm sure many people remember, "The Breaksfast Club." In fact the film was made when I was -3. Still, I had to write an essay for English 300 about character development in film and I just had to post this photo because Molly Ringwald plays some of my favorite characters from some of my favorite films and I found myself referring to some of her characters in the essay.

Sports Story: Matt Lund

WKU senior, Matt Lund, LaGrange, Ky. has been the Big Red Marching Band Drum Major for both his junior and senior years. Lund is majoring in music education and is an accomplished saxophone player. I wish I had an editor to help me with the 1500+ images I ended up shooting. This was a tough edit for me.
