The agricultural research center here in Salisbury was having 4th graders from all over the county learn about agriculture at their facility, so I went out there and shot some of that. Then I shot golf for the first time. I’ve never seen, played, or even been on a golf course so it was a huuuuggeeee learning experience Also, I probably shouldn’t be allowed to drive a golf cart.

There was a pet adoption event at the animal shelter and I’m pretty sure they took him home. Then there was a Colonial wedding reenactment at a historic house.

My first two assignments were Easter related, one was at Patterson Farms and the other was at Lazy 5 Ranch. The one at Lazy 5 was really cool because they dropped eggs from a helicopter. My last assignment was a bible study party in memory of Ayanna Allen, who was shot to death in a drive by shooting at her house last year. It was for the most part a happy party except for a few tears after the balloon release.

Today totally made up for yesterday.

It was a pretty busy day as far as sports assignments go. My first assignment was to photograph a dog shelter which was really sad but there was a pitbull being photographed in a tie so that was really cuteeee. Then I finally got to take photos of softball and baseball. It made me really miss playing but I realized that shooting softball is almost as stressful as playing it.

I had two assignments today. The first one was team photos for the winter all county high school sports. The second one was of this lady who made panoramic sugar eggs for the children at her church on Easter Sunday. They’re like dioramas inside of these sugar egg molds.

My first assignment for today was a restaurant feature for the magazine, and I’m not really sure how close I got to those flames but I still have my eyebrows so that’s all that’s important. Then I went to a dog training class which was pretty cuteeeeee.
