A Year in Review: Portraits

So I have decided to post some work from the past year so I can get the ball rolling on this blog, while I am in a long process of building a website (something I really don't have a clue to do). So here are some of my favorite portraits from the past (school) year, bring my second year of college to a close.

ACP 2009: Whitesburg, Ky.

ACP is short for the Appalachian Cultural Project sponsored by Western Kentucky University each year. A small group of WKU photojournalism students are given the opportunity to travel to Whitesburg, Ky. within the Appalachian mountains for one week, working alongside some of the best photojournalists in the business. Student strive to meet new people in the town and surrounding areas. Participants do their best to battle stereotypes placed on the area by mainstream media and find real life stories worth telling. This year in March, I was lucky enough to be a photojournalism participant in the workshop.
