BTS Chapter 2: Delving into Multimedia
One of the biggest reasons I returned to school was to improve my video skills. I've always had a love for producing video and at one time was double majoring in film and photography. Long story short, that didn't happen and I've been frustrated by my inability to create video work.
This first semester, I accidentally stumbled into a video producing class. While I'd done some minor dabbling in video on my own during my two years out of school, I hadn't actually assembled anything.
As the end of my first semester of graduate school nears, I've produced four pieces already, soon to be five. It's been a great time of growth for me in that area, as well as others. While I'm in no way amazing, I've learned a lot and continue to do so. I already see myself falling into a little habit that I need to cut out (I won't tell you for the hope of you not noticing), but other than that, I'm fairly happy with where I'm at.
Here's the work in chronological order:
I still have at least one more piece I'll be producing this semester, though it won't run until January of this next year. I've enjoyed diving into this new work and learning how to work in another medium. I look forward to improving on these early attempts.
Thanks for watching... and reading.

John Happel: The classmate project
My first photo project in grad school - the intro experience in my intro class to doing a story. It turned out alright.
John Happel is working on finding his place in his
new life at graduate school, separated from his fiancé, the ocean and the all
other comforts he had back home in Scituate, MA. The social and mental stresses
surrounding school are the biggest hurdles he faces as he pursues his master’s
at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Mo.
John waits for a beer at Quinton's while meeting up with fellow graduate students for their weekly get together on Thursdays when they indulge in discounted drinks and food. |
John manages a hangover, one from his weekly meetups with his graduate school friends, at Stephen's Lake Park while working on class readings. "Two day hangovers are a real thing." |

Back to school: Chapter 1
Having been buried up to my eyes in life, I've been a bit slow to update the blog with any of my recent work. There's a bit of it, so I'll probably break it up into a few posts to ease your digestion. I've also recently started working at the Jefferson City News Tribune as a photojournalist (yay!), which means I'll have more work to keep on top of posting.
Busy, busy, busy, busy... But I'd rather be busy than bored. Graduate school has been a good experience thus far. Being able to immerse myself in photography and everything else has provided multitudes of opportunity for growth, and with my new job at the JCNT, I think I'll be seeing even more growth.
It's not a bad time to be me, even if it's a little overwhelming at times.
Thanks for reading and looking.
(Forgive the weird layout - I couldn't fix it)
Now I can feel a little better - the blog has fresh content.
