Elements of Photojournalism: Photograph a Classmate

For this project we chose a fellow classmate at random to follow around and photograph for a 5 photograph feature.  I chose William Palmer and we went to the "The Landing Strip" (It's a bar, not a strip club)





Spring Break 2011 - San Diego Wild Animal Park

A Meerkat sniffing the air for potential threats.

A Flamingo takes a drink of water.

Two flamingos fighting for space at the feeding trough.

Gorilla does not like being stared at all day...

Two juvenile giraffes practice headbutts, a skill they will need when fighting to mate.

The staff photographer takes a photograph of me taking a photograph of three Lorikeets eating nectar from my hand.

This Lorikeet likes to pretend he's a hawk sometimes

Spring Break 2011 - Date Around Southern California

Our final night in California Anna took me on a date all over the San Diego area, from Balboa Park all the way up to Oceanside.

One of the pools at Balboa Park, very reminiscent of El Alhambra in Spain.

Me and Anna chilling by a fountain in Balboa Park

Hand-held picture of the San Diego coastline, from where- I think- the Anchorman scene where Ron tells Veronica the history of San Diego

My favorite photograph of the trip, a one footed seagull lands tenderly on a railing on the Oceanside Pier

Spring Break 2011 - Mountain Biking at Lake Hodges

Taking a break on the dock
Ducks that we could only assume were going into the brush to get frisky


View from the back of my bike with my camera being held on to the rear rack by a couple of old bungee cords.
 
If I consider my camera my baby, I hate to see what my firstborn is going to go through...

Spring Break 2011 - Tide Pools at La Jolla

After getting back from Park City (Photo's from the way back later) it was straight to the beach.  After kayaking before low tide we headed back in as the seals were coming to chill on the rocks by the tide pools and we thought we'd go back and check them out from the shore.
