POD: Day 200! | 3.1.12
I cannot imagine a better face to grace my 200th 'Photo of the Day' post than fellow PJ classmate, Alyssa Murkin. As she left the photo department for the last time on Thursday, I followed her and got a last look at her face before she heads off to her first internship in Charleston, SC. It was sunny and windy out, but for me this photo still captures her carefree and genuine spirit. Good luck to Alyssa and to all my fellow PJs as we venture into uncharted territory and continue the learning process :) Cheers to internship fun!!!
POD: Day 186 | 2.16.12
POD: Day 185 | 2.15.12
It has been a long day of editing, phone calls and applying for internships. As a result, my photo of the day is from inside the second year studio (where visual magic is happening).
POD: Day 179 | 2.9.12
Today during lecture we learned how to do a simple yet sophisticated two-camera, two-light set-up for video interviews. Our own Alyssa Murkin was the willing model for the live demo. She's such a fave!
POD: Day 169 | 1.29.12
A ten-hour marathon in front of a computer, editing and printing = getting a POD from the second year studio (of Eric photographing a model with a Speedotron head).
POD: Day 151 | 1.12.12
Michael Ellison | Asheboro, NC
He was at the Rick Smith retrospective tonight along with a group of fellow RCC photography students who graduated in '72 & '74. He is now a fine art photographer based in Savannah, GA.
The RCC Armadillo
These photos were taken as part of an assignment that involves the history of how an odd little animal with its own armor came to be the mascot for Randolph Community College (more on the story later!).
POD: Day 116
Thinking Differently About Portraits
Today we had a fun shooting lab. We shot portraits of each other as silhouettes and learned a few new posing techniques that we can put in our "skills toolbox" to use when shooting on-location portraits. We went for body shapes I, C, S and Z using with a single, off-camera light source in the studio. Afterwards, we shot a regular portrait on campus using one of the four body shapes. I partnered with the always lovely and lively, Aylssa Murkin. These are a few of the silhouettes and the on-campus portrait, taken inside the design department.
This final image is an outtake as Alyssa posed for an outdoor portrait for a Bio-communications student. "Can't Stop, Won't Stop Cuteness"---it must be rough ;-)
POD: Day 115
POD: Day 99
Patrick McLaurin, a first year photo student at RCC, spots a black and white print in the mat room. Spotting is one thing I do not miss about first year ;)

POD: Day 80
Randolph Community College's competitive cheerleading team had some air time during the Fall Festival this afternoon.
POD: Day 80
POD: Day 73
A high school class came in during our Digital Imaging class and observed for a few minutes while taking a tour of the photo department.
POD: Day 73
Closing Time
I stayed beyond my last class to do some editing (correction: a lot of editing). As I left for the day, fellow second year, Brooke Dishmon, was closing down the department. I felt this would be the best POD since it captures what I saw for the majority of the day (i.e. the inside of the photo department). However, in two more days I will be seeing something entirely different---New York!
POD: Day 71
Music Video | White Flowers
For Multimedia class we had a final project that involved making a music video for a band. Luckily, Philip Pledger, with the band Estrangers, agreed to let us use the band's song, White Flowers for our video. Many thanks to the band for being willing to participate in this project---we couldn't have done it without you!
The wonderful team I worked with included two fellow photojournalism students, Anna Eyler and Alyssa Murkin. Along with the help of two incredibly lovely people as the female and male characters in the video, Carleigh Morgan and Dillon Deaton, the video came together quite nicely. Anna, Alyssa and I spent hours storyboarding and working out every scene while listening to a great song that is now permanently burned into our memories. With everyone working so well together, as well as late hours, plus having locations that fit the scenes so well, we were able to maintain a lot of the original vision we had for the video.
I could not have asked for a better team with Anna and Alyssa. Their creativity and determination to not only work hard, but also make something that we could all be proud of, was truly inspiring. You ladies are the best!
A special 'thank you' to Krankies Coffee for letting us invade your space after hours!
Clint Clemens
An "on the spur" capture during a lecture by photographer and Canon Explorer of Light, Clint Clemens (center). He came to RCC this evening to speak about his work and show us a glimpse of where part of the industry is heading (i.e. CGI). It was both interesting and mind-blowing---I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it all.
POD: Day 44
Playing Around
Representatives from Mac on Campus made a scheduled stop at RCC today to make the photo students drool and add several items to their wish list. Curiosity was not limited to students---teachers also got their hands on some of the gear and played. (see results here)
POD: Day 38
Computer Lab Creepin'
Since I am in the computer lab late tonight, I am limited to choices for today's POD. Luckily, there is no shortage of fellow photo students in the lab tonight. Katie Jo happened to be directly across from me, but only a small sliver of her.
POD: Day 29
First Year Photography Students
They were in the photography department today. All of them. They had their mug shots made and then stood in line, talking and clogging the hallway while they waited to get their lockers. The second year students walked by, taking a look at the new batch of future photographers and possibly remembering that not so long ago, they were in that same line.
