This week was the last week of production at The Shorthorn for the spring and it was pretty hectic and exciting. I finally got the Marquez Haynes photos done for the graduation issue and they turned out great. We had a hard time choosing just one. It was also fitting that my last week of the semester was filled with nothing but sports considering that the last couple of weeks had a severe lack of competitive spirit. Baseball was pretty exciting as the Mavericks took on DBU and I did a full package of stills, a video and a gallery for a wheelchair football event put on by the Movin’ Mavs. They even let me play a game and make a fool of myself but it was great to see how much skill is involved in playing wheelchair sports. I will be Photo Editor at The Shorthorn over the summer and, hopefully, through the fall semester but my personal goal is to continue to shoot and keep Shots of the Week going along with the rest of my responsibilities in the future. I will also be updating the blog with freelance shoots and more interesting photographic experiences throughout the summer. Enjoy.
