This semester I get to take the great, supper fun class Mass Comm Law, and boy is it fun. In addition I have three other class and two jobs so keeping up on the post have been hard so I’m going to write on four assignments I enjoyed the last few weeks.
First up a frat house reopening, The Phi Delta Theta house began the steps to reestablish themselves at the U they hosted a BBQ during rush week and I wanted the shot of the BBQ to work but the dead space between the Phi Delts sign and the flam was too big for it to work.
Thankfully one of the alumni shared an old copy of the U’s yearbook with the recruits and gave me a useable shot.
Next I shot the Real Salt Lake Game the next night and this was the fastest soccer game I have seen. In most games the first goal is the end of the game because it’s soccer so there was a goal in only 40 seconds it was so crazy I almost missed it.
I shot this Real game with one of our new photographers Jarad Reddekopp. What can I say about Jarad? Um, well he is Jarad. 
He has no style look at that ugly yellow vest what the hell was he thinking when he put that on in the morning?;)
During some of the down time in the game I was crowd watching to see what I could see and I found this shirt that made me laugh. I also found a HUGE MULLET but the photos i took did not do it justice. Oh and I got some good action.
The election is approaching so I got to do two candidates the first was U political science professor Luke Garrott he is running for city council and I went door to door with him and one of his volunteers it was quite interesting to be on the other side of the door and see the entire range of responses. 
Spending time with a politician was a refreshing view that they are not always scummy ass holes. Luke was a nice guy and I enjoyed my time with him.
Mayoral candidate Ralph Becker hosted a free showing of the movie “who killed the electric car” and a gathering beforehand. So I shot the gathering but it was in the Broadway theater and I did not have much room to move around so I had a lot of hail marry shots of the group that worked I guess.
I wanted to get the Ralph Becker sign with a crowd and I loved this shot at the time but during editing I lost a lot of my love of it.
That concludes this massive blog I will try to keep up with more in-depth posts.

I don't know if I've told you this recently, but you really are getting a lot better at news. Good work my friend. Oh and the sign+fire. Did you try getting super close to the fire and low? I've been doing a lot of low stuff lately... Getting low, if you will. And super close stuff. The down and dirty, if you will.
