The Clothesline

Here at the clothesline the shirts tell many stories about abuse by men. From fathers or boyfriends the stories tell death and injurious behaviors towards women. A lot of people, mostly men, say this art project is nothing but a "men bashing" statement. I disagree with this because of the solid fact that women tend to live under a lot more pressure than men do in everyday life. Here are the photos. Judge how you want, leave a comment.




Now I do have to comment on this. Isn't America based on violence, how we were founded? From the moving of Native Americans onto reservations to the military industrial complex, we've lived with violence. I just find this one funny.

Soccer Game

The lady Catamounts faced up against the Gamecocks, who were ranked #20, but defeated 1-0 Catamounts.

The boys giving the energy needed for the girls! Alright, team spirit.


I love this next one as it says: "catch me if you can!"

And of course the victory huddle! Go ladies, they were awesome to watch and photograph.


Alright, as with all my posts, check out my flickr for a lot more of these photos from the game!

They Just Run and Run...

These folks like to run for competition. Scary. I run on my own terms.

"I decided to go for a little run." - Forrest Gump

I don't get why they do it but they do and I admire it.



Caught these guys at the end of the race sprinting for the finish line. Good stuff.



Here's some of the boys discussing the race with their coach. Classy boys classy.

Ooh, the girls that raced. One on the left came in third. Good running. I couldn't do it.


Here you go, the end of the race and the end of my post. These girls look like they've had it.

Algae for fuel? Watch this!

"Gotta change your paradigm in which you see the world."

Really awesome. Grow algae vertically to achieve multiples types of fuel. So, new jobs and a new kind of fuel. Just be sure to listen to his factoid at the end of the video.

Some Soccer Practice

I saw the women's soccer team practicing and I randomly went down there to take photos. It was an interesting practice to say the least.

The girls on the left and ride side of of the goal were trying to score while the people around the goal had to stop it. Also had people running around trying to kick it in.


Always found that one funny. She didn't get hurt but it does look like she did.

Here's an example of the players on the side trying to kick it in.

The coach sat them down and pepped them up for their upcoming game against USC. We'll see how they do!

That's all for now!

God on Facebook?

Another classy video. It's about facebook. That's right, God's facebook page.

Wow.

WOw. Disclaimer, it's not porn! Just crazy woman trying to take a guys penis.

Women's Tough Rugby

I was asked to take photos, again, for the women's WCU Rugby team. Amazing. They are hitting harder than last year and there are a lot more of them. I think the photos speak for themselves.





This if of Wendy Gordon, a psychology professor at WCU, giving his team a talk. Really interesting to hear the dynamics of the talk.



Here's another hit for the ladies. :) Enjoyed taking photos for them, can't wait for another round.

MANtage

So my friend, Mary Bryson, knows that I'm not a fan of the opposite sex right now. So she showed me this video called, "MANtage" and it's completely classy.



"consumin American soil, mmmm tastes like liberty!"

The Wise Men

I was conscripted to go take photos. What an awful task. Any who, I went to the mountain man program area. This is what I got.



Any my favorite. A photo of the wise men pondering about something of which I don't know. I got them to pose for this shot and I used flash with it. Great stuff.


Oh what fun that day was.

An Odd Loading Dock?

I was walking across campus the other day and I've always passed this loading dock turn around. It helps trucks turn around etc etc. Good idea, but I peered over the edge and then decided to jump up on the ledge. Then I knew I had to get my camera out here.


I was getting some strange looks while I was up there taking photo. I had some friends pass by and say, "Jackson we always knew you were weird." That's alright though cause I thing these photos are interesting.

Enjoy em!

Seven Years

Even after seven years, it still stings for some. Even after all this time, politicians use the day to advance their policies and to shame others into obeying. Even in this day in time questioning one's patriotism is a regular thing. Even after eight years of dilapidated policies. People are still buying into placid living even when we have a choice of hope. Everyday I ask myself, "What happened to us, as a country?" Intruding on other country's own right to exist for our own selfishness. However, on the horizon we can see the coming fight to be the best, yet we sit idly by and are letting it all slip away. Eisenhower warned us in his farewell address to the nation at the end of his term. Irresponsibility has an undercurrent of hypocrisy.

What happened to the symbolic respect we had for one another after that day? The day where we were all Americans. Blessed to live in this nation. God bless every nation and their people. God bless the world. Peace may never come but we can try.

Two Folks I Enjoy

The next shots are of two of my pals, Niki Gerber and Jason Allen. Whom I suspect get tired of my camera, but I don't care. They'll get used to it. The first one is of Niki in Dodson, she didn't want a photo taken of her. I snagged this one.



Jason here, posing for me.



The next one I think is cool. He said it was kind of gay that I down there taking photos. Pssh. Thanks Jason, glad you appreciate this cool photo.



That's all I have, my buds that ride mountain bikes have yet to show. So, sorry for the delay!

Nifty Trick

Ran upon this video on YouTube and I thought the trick they use is pretty awesome. I'm going to start using this trick if I'm ever hired again to take photos. Taking a portable DVD player and using it to review photos. This is useful for clients since a small 3 inch LCD screen is a bit too small! Makes sense.

The video explains the rest!

It's Time

I'm glad I changed the blog up! I've had a lot more visitors which is good cause I used to have 2 to 3 people visit. That being said, I have my camera back and I should have some cool photos coming up. Thinking about the photo essay layout for my next post. Stay tuned for it. Have mountain biking with dirt jumping and hopefully some downhill as well! Just have to wait and see.

No photos today, just keep tuned in for more!

Glorious

Had a train trip on the 23rd of September with my family up the Hiawassee River in Tn. Great ride, really pretty too! Here are the photos.





Got this one above with my flash, and I love how her hair turned out. Just dazzles me.


My mom just being goofy. I love her.



Just remember, this is my father. I'll be just like him when I get older. Good stuff. That's all for now!

Have to Share

I need to share this video as I feel everyone needs to see it. True men will watch this and laugh. Ladies will laugh as well. Hilarious.



I didn't have to say much to really get the point out about this video.
