The year in News
2009 was a busy year for me. I began by photographing my first inauguration as President Barack Obama took office in January. It was the first time in my life that I have seen a president in person. As the second half of my junior year got underway I photographed a fire on 13th Street in Bowling Green which lead me to a firefighter with an incredible story to tell.
In February, I photographed the largest group of Kentucky troops returning from Iraq since the war began. It was an emotional experience that words can’t describe.
My internship at the Seattle Times presented me with my first courtroom experience and learned that it’s not fun to be the only photographer in the room at a murder trial.
Next week I’m traveling to Washington DC to attend the annual white house press christmas party with one of my best friends Luke Sharrett. Apparently we get our picture taken with President Obama. I’ll be sure to post that if it happens. I hope you enjoy my year in news pictures.
