the Kage

I'm currently working on a photography story for my Advanced Photo II class about Kevin "Kage" Pearson, a professional MMA fighter and full-time firefighter. When Pearson isn't training or teaching at F2 Arena & Darkside Athletics in Gainesville, Fla., he works as a firefighter in High Springs. I've only spent one afternoon with Pearson so far, but this will be a five-week-long project. So stay tuned.

33rd annual Collectors Day

I've been extremely busy lately on various projects and haven't posted anything in a while, so here you go.

Once a year collectors from all over Florida bring everything from Beatles memorabilia to chess boards to samples of sand to show off at Collectors Day held at the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville. I stopped by with Alex to shoot a multimedia piece for our new website, Get2KnowGainesville.com (in progress). Unfortunately, the mic apparently wasn't working properly as all the audio in the interviews turned out horrible. But besides that and the fact that Alex and I were babysat by PR all day, it was still fun to meet all the nice people and see their unique collections.

At first this event made me want to start some sort of a collection. But then I realized I do collect something: I collect moments! They're the best thing to collect, really.

Annual Cane Boil at Morningside Nature Center in Gainesville, Fla.

November 26, 2011

This past Saturday was the annual Cane Boil and Fiddle Contest at Morningside Nature Center here in Gainesville. For my photography final, my classmate Alex and I were assigned to do a multimedia project of the event, including video, audio and stills combined and edited in Final Cut. (Below are some stills I took for the final project. I'll post that when it's done.)
