Local Construction

I chose to capture this photo from the perspective that a large portion of the community sees the construction. I have talked to multiple individuals about the new Maverick that is being constructed and very few of them even stop to consider that it is being constructed on a flood plain. For so many the Maverick will provide more convenience in their life so they don't stop to recognize the memorial bridge that is there remembering the time that very river flooded.

The photo I took puts the construction of the Maverick in the foreground with the bridge memorial in sight, but not the main focus - just as the situation is in the minds of many individuals.

Whose Life Are You Looking At?

This is a blog of the life of a girl named Landen. 

First, a little bit about me - I am a Mass Comm. major with an interest in both writing and photography. While I am not an expert in either area, I do love to learn and I am excited for all of the knowledge that I will gain as I pursue my degree. 

Writing has been an interest of mine for many years, but my passion is for dancing. Dancing is a visual art that allows the dancer to tell a story through movement, without a single spoken word. I find photos to share the same ability of telling a story without words that a dance performance does. The similarities between dance performances and photos is I believe why I have such an interest in photography and telling a story through the images I capture.
