I took this shot this evening at Lake Calhoun. This little guy was so into it! What a treat to watch!

As Ma$e would say, "Welcome back."

I'm going to put a bit more effort into shooting and keeping the blog up to date (hopefully).

Took this shot flying from Philly to Minneapolis. I've been logging a ton of miles lately for work/play which sometimes can lead to some cool photos.

Taken with iPhone 4 and edited with Photoshop Express app.

Cheers!

Check out Dan's slideshow from the PSU vs. Temple Game

I got the chance to shoot the Penn State vs. Temple game on Saturday. Being on the field during a Division I football game is quite the experience, and being in Beaver Stadium brings it to a new level.

Compared to the game I shot against Akron last season, I was much happier with these photos. I will be on the field again in two weeks for the homecoming game! Keep a look out for that post.

Gallery Test

Well look at this! I finally figured out how to embed slideshows!

Check out Mak's set from his trip to Vietnam! Pretty sweet stuff!

BACK AT LAST!

After an interesting summer full of travels, Dan has returned from his stay in New Zealand and Mak is home sweet home after his trip to Vietnam!

Here's to getting this blog rolling once again!

Long time no blog...

I took this shot during the Winter Jam concert at the Bryce Jordan Center a few weekends ago. It was a shot full of Christian rock bands, not exactly my genre of choice, but I was able to pull some cool stuff out of it.

I really like this photo due to the colored lights and fog in the background. I think it really gives off a sweet feeling of emotion.

The whole set is on my flickr if want to see the rest.

Later.

Looking back...looking forward...

Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, originally uploaded by Daniel Bott.

My first "real" semester at the paper is complete. I've seen many new places, learned many new things, and made friends with many new people. Not to mention, I've taken more photos in the past three months than I ever have in my life. Some were ok and some weren't, some assignments were sweet and some were boring, but I'd say they were all fun in one way or another. Unfortunately (yet fortunately), I'm off to New Zealand again soon, this time for a longer visit...six months!

I plan on starting another blog to chronicle my adventures below the equator and across the globe. I can't wait to have some substantial time to shoot things that are so unnatural to me and to take some time to try and develop my "eye" a bit more. Oftentimes the best photos come from very unfamiliar surroundings. Now I just need a witty name for the blog, so I'm open to suggestions.

Some downsides of this trip are that I am missing the graduations of tons of friends this spring and the ability to shoot a lot of cool things. A bit of a bummer, but c'est la vie. So without getting too sappy, thanks to all of the graduating seniors for all of their help, guidance, and fun times!


P.S. Anyone is welcome to visit! I'm only a plane ride away!


A note on the photo: This was taken at the Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland in Rotoroua, NZ. A pretty sweet place and somewhere I would love to visit again.

Keep shooting.
