interim update

I'm back down in Gainesville right now, soaking up the sun before heading back north to start a spring internship at the Peoria Journal Star. Here are some more shots from the end of my internship in St. Louis.


Ultimate frisbee practice of the SLU woman's club team on a rainy, cold night (temperature in the upper 30s, I think). I was working the evening shift when I got the call that my horizontal photo from a fire needed to be vertical to fit into the page design. So, I decided to stop and shoot this practice. I only shot verticals, and then rushed back to my car to send the shots back before deadline.


The next day I shot some guys playing frisbee golf. The paper didn't go for back-to-back to frisbee sports pictures, but I thought this turned out alright.
