Who Doesn't Like Puppies?

There was a wild goose/puppy chase with a dog auction story last week for the Missourian. The story didn't end up running, and I have all of these cute puppy photos, so on the blog they go!

The Final Countdown.

I hope an image of Gob Bluth prancing during his magic show appeared in your mind. If it wasn't, it is now.

I am finally finished with J2100H, a class that did more than try my patience. I thought I was a decent writer before I took this course, but I learned otherwise. The entire semester led me to question why I was even doing journalism in the first place.

Then during the last project, I got to take photos, and while I was editing them, I remembered why I was in this major. It just felt so good!

Anyway, here are a few photos I took for my convergence group. We were on the religion beat, so I went to Missouri United Methodist Church, one of the churches we surveyed. I knew that I did not have the greatest camera, but it was so dim that I had to shoot at 1600 ISO, so the photos are super noisy. The class really liked them though, so that is what matters.

The beginning of the 11 a.m. service at Missouri United Methodist

Derek Smith and Dave Jones share a quick laugh Sunday morning (this photo wasn't used for our project, but I just like the moment).

And...for a little change of pace:
The lights on the second floor of the art department were covered in different colorful materials...one has gummi bears, and I have no idea what this is. I just liked the colors, I guess.

As if I needed another blog.

Why do I do these things?

Anyway...I guess I will post some photos on here every now and then. It seems to be the thing to do. 

And I don't think I can change the name of this. I am stuck with "Peer Pressure" as my title. Sweet sweetness. 

Bloggy blog blog. Time for non-related pictures. 

Experiment In Reverse Macro.

Not quite enough light going on in my room for this. You'd think that those oh-so-flattering florescent lights would be good for something. I hope to try this again sometime...maybe with some flowers outside. You know I love flowers.

Spring Time.

I love Mizzou. I really do. I love it even more when there are actually signs of life on campus. It's been gray here for way too long. 

Cooper's Landing

Some friends went to Cooper's Landing last weekend for Paige's birthday. I should try to be social more often...it was nice. Also, it didn't hurt that it was beautiful. Thai food for breakfast is also interesting.
