Every Thirty Seconds
This is what made shooting graduations a little more fun this year. So all in all I shot a photo gallery, video and time lapse from each graduation I covered this year. Made for a long week, but it was a fun challenge. And I'm finished climbing up to the rafters of the civic center for a while now.

500
I'll start off by saying that today might have been the most frustrating day I've had in quite a while. But I ended it with an awesome run, so everything's fine now.
On Friday, I was assigned to photograph the community band in Thibodaux on Sunday. Normally not a bad assignment, but I really didn't want to have to work on a Sunday, and have to do a video. On Saturday, I was given another Sunday assignment to make a picture of Houma because we were voted "Cleanest City in the State." Then, during the middle of shooting that on Sunday, I get a call to go down the Bayou to shoot fishermen getting ready for Shrimp season, which starts on Monday.
So my day off turned into a full day of work with three assignments.
Oh, and to top it all off, a couple of items in my kitchen cubbard were thrown away because my roommate is super... SUPER clean and has to have everything in order. So I'm out a bag of perfectly fine Wildcat Blend Coffee and Buffalo Chip snack things. (Both of which were Christmas presents from my parents).
One more thing... I missed a BBQ hosted by Emily, the other photograher. She invited the newsroom to her place for some grilled meat.
I didn't break anything or lose my voice yelling... I just rewared myself by going on a run with the new shoes tonight.
After uploading my run to Nike, I saw that I'm only 52 miles away from reaching 500 total miles ran since starting Nike+. So I created a goal to run 52 miles in 8 weeks. Should be pretty simple. Here's my total miles from the past 4 months.
Jan - 21
Feb - 47
Mar - 26
April - 34
(The options on the goal only let me select 4, 8, 12 or 16 months. And I figured 52 miles in a month is a litte much right now. So I went with two months)
So, 25ish miles a month for two months will put me at 500 total miles. Here's the goal I set up.
Now, here are some photos I took this weekend. One from the State Police Open House and the others from the 5k Run for Excellence. (Which I'm dissapointed that I couldn't run this year)
Final thought... I think the judges for the Cleanest City Contest were ether bribed, or didn't get a good view of Houma. I saw the route they took for their judging... never touched the East side of town. I wonder if any of the judges ever asked "Hey, what's on the other side of those two giant bridges? Can we go see?"
