Up and Away

I moved 250 miles away from all the faces I know with Zach and Natalie to further my education at Cal Poly.

I am studying journalism (news track) with minors in photography and environmental studies.

My educators are incredibly supportive.

Last quarter (my first quarter) I achieved a 13 unit 3.34 GPA.

I took on a paid PR job where I captured images and conducted interviews for posters in promotion of Cal Poly’s journalism department.

I upgraded my rig to a Sony a7ii.

I’ve made some tremendous friends up here.

I miss many people in ways I couldn’t begin to write.

This current quarter I’ve dealt myself a 21 unit serving.

I’m now a multifaceted member of KCPR 91.3 FM.

Amidst all of this I am finalizing a photo essay that has been accepted by Mustang News.

Here are a couple photos I shot on the a7ii that I’ve had the time to sit down and edit:

The downtown area closes tremendously early and the Barnes and Noble is, to say the least, limited when it comes to movies.

Natalie is constantly among the hell of a full time job. I am proud of every second she finds to day dream and remain imaginative.
