Cleaning off the card: Boone County Fair leftovers

It can be really hard to get around to editing "your photos" after shooting a bunch for the paper. And by "your photos," I mean the ones you don't publish with the paper, either because they don't work for the paper or because you just didn't get the caption information needed. These are a mixture of both. Once you've gone through and edited all the photos for the paper, you just kind of feel tired and maybe a little unmotivated to get to the rest of them. And by "you," I obviously mean me. The struggle is real.
I edited them all in Lightroom on my new laptop (yay new laptops) but didn't get to finish them in Photoshop, which is my normal workflow. This whole no DVD drive on these new laptops is a bit of a downer. Have to find a workaround to get my CS4 on here. 

But I digress...

Photos:
Minus a leash, a young boy leads his freshly buzzed sheep around the arena by holding on to its neck during the Bucket Calf show at the Boone County Fair.

And a couple randoms from the farmers market in July...

July: The last of the Tribune

My two-year reign as the image tech/web producer/back-up photographer for the Columbia Daily Tribune came to an end just over a week ago as I left to start graduate school at the University of Missouri.

Here are some shots from my final month at the Tribune. I was fortunate enough to be able to photograph the demolition derby at the Boone County Fair, which was fun. They allowed me over the concrete barrier, putting me closer than I've ever been to that much car carnage.

Still have images on my memory cards that I need to get on my computer and edit, but life is busy. Maybe tomorrow...?

Until then, enjoy:
