Couple photos from Provo's first fashion week thing. Woo.

The beginning of April marks the end of my third month at the Daily Herald in Utah. 

I've loved it. But looking back on my work, it makes me wonder how I'd be doing if this was an internship? I'd be completing a summer internship, or half way through a six-monther. It makes me contemplate a bit, for better or for worse.

This past month, besides the aquarium, I didn't do too much crazy or eye opening. It would be considered a slower month, but it was good. I think I could push myself on my sports a little bit harder, especially baseball which I neglected to post, and think I'm going to try and work my photo assignments in hopes of things more visual. Either rescheduling, or working with the writers, but maybe that would help open things up a bit for some more exciting imagery. 

It's nice to do these posts, even if you fight yourself on it, as they let you judge yourself and where you're at in your own platform. Here's to hoping for some nice light and interesting assignments in April. 

Here are some from my favorite assignments, An adorable little girl who needs a kidney transplant, Holi Festival (it's possible to take bad pictures at these apparently), some state basketball, a firefighter challenge, a special needs pageant (which was just the greatest and so much fun.), and some second graders testing out an explorative museum before it opens. 

Thanks for looking, as always.

So this is a big post, but I'm over all those collegiate standards of high and tight blog posts. I had too much fun on this so I wanna share a lot of these! (The more I share, the happier  mom is). Spent the past two days checking out an aquarium that just moved to just north of Utah County (not quite in our coverage area....) but I couldn't pass it up. Focused on the care it takes to make the penguins happy and content, but also spent some time meandering around the rest of the place. Had a ton of fun, and was just in love with hanging on the other side of the glass. A penguin even bit my camera, and my jacket a few times. They all have personalities. So much so where even in a day you start to pick up on it. I'd shoot so much more stuff with animals if I could. Endlessly fascinating. Take a look!

This is called courtship bowing. It means they plan on doing it, or the board on their tank says they really like you. Today two of them bowed at me at once and I blushed.

They only hate new brooms.

Every time the keeper comes into the room outside their enclosure to clean and feed she says "Hey guys!" and the all squawk and march towards the door. Prettttty awesome. 

Three brothers. One of them screams at you if you blow in his face and they really like marshmallows. 

Too cool for the Amazon exhibit.

Animals, man.
