old mill


so tonight i was assigned to shoot the grand opening of a new exhibit at the old mill museum in dundee ... well no one came to the opening, i mean NO ONE, unless you count me and the reporter. on the way to the ribbon cutting ceremony, which btw ribbon cuttings are a joke to photojournalists - they're fake and therefore a taboo - hence the "journalism" portion of "photojournalism." anyway back on point ... i was on my way to the ribbon cutting ceremony and i saw this composition. i like the mix of warm and cool light. it ended up being the best frame from the night, so i pitched for the front page, but i'm a little nervous about this being the dominant photo. it doesn't really tell a story, but it will get attention - i'm such a risk taker ... that's sarcasm in case you missed it.

I got the sarcasm thank you... I love the frame, and i think you should use it proud. BTW, there are many good portfolios coming your way from WKU. we'll talk later.
