Crunch time!

Graduating College the first time round with a 4.0- Priceless.
For everything else, there's my waning bank account.
So yeah, I have two weeks left to pull my portfolio together and finish my alternative imaging final project, and I'm having a hard time pulling the portfolio together. Fifteen images..Out of fifteen thousand...
What goes in?
The stuff from my Photojournalism class? The time I spent with the HWA comes to mind...The shot of Cody Hawk smashing T.J. through a table is a personal favorite, so is the shot of Mikey Showtime jumping out of the ring towards American Eagle.
Sheriff's Department training. Otherwise known as the roughest set up I've ever seen. January 2004, We were sent by the instructor at specific times in order to get the shots for the class. Round 1. Snowstorm: Entire city under snow and ice, unable to move, training cancelled that day.
Round 2. Cold snap:8 degrees below zero, I sat outside the justice center for a full half hour before a Lieutenant came out and told me that medicall would not clear them to run that day because their lungs might freeze. (what about mine?)
Round 3. Two hours before class: Everything went beautifully, got some great shots, and then sprinted back to the lab to process and print film.
The PETA protest comes to mind too. February 2003: it was 10 degrees below zero with the windchill, and I needed a story for Composition II, I needed something that showed passion...there they were. PETA protesting the Ringling Bros. Circus. I ignored taking pictures of the protesters in their leather boots and wool caps. directly on the corner was a woman in a small cage wearing only a pair of panties and painted up as a tiger. It was 10 below! I was freezing my arse off, and I was in four layers of clothes! Honestly, those were some of the best shots I ever got for the class.
The Appalachian Festival. Two years working with the head of the Appalachian Festival's PR Department. Fun stuff, spent a lot of time behind the scenes helping co-ordinate, and edit other people's photos.
Kerberos- My favorite metal band clients. Nothing like shooting from the pit 6 inches from a speaker...Plus I reworked their logo design...
Voodoo City? Okay I'll admit last quarter I went round the bend a bit. I adopted a small wooden artist model, and named him Voodoo. I took Voodoo into the studio, and shot for awhile, then took him into photoshop, and made him a gargantuan creature roaming through Downtown Cincinnati. He quickly became a favorite..He became so much a favorite series of mine that I made digital negatives of him, and started working the images in cyanotype, which gives it sort of a pulp comics feel...
Two weeks. fifteen images.
