independence day.

Happy 4th of July! This shot is from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base's June 30th celebration (why not the 4th?). I wanted a different type of shot, something that looked weird, like fireworks in the daytime even though it was 9-something-p.m. So I set my camera to f/3.5 at a 4s shutter speed, carefully steadied my camera on my tummy, held my breath, and shot (should've taken  tripod, but I appreciate the "sit super still" skill). Anyway, for those of you who don't get it, thanks for looking and HAPPY 4TH of JULY! :)

Advanced Photojournalism has finally come to an end. With countless hours of shooting, thousands of photographs, and extremely quick diminishing amount of space on my hard drives, I haven't had a more exhausting but rewarding semester.

My final story follows a blended air force family in Goldsboro, N.C. as they deal with the struggles of a six month deployment of their best friend and mother.
