A Day At The Farm

For my final assignment for my Photography class, I did a story on a local farm that is making use of Facebook and an online farmers market. I really enjoyed doing this story. Steve and Diane Eggert, the owner's of the farm, were amazing. They shared a lot of information regarding the farming industry in Central New York and where it is heading. I even got to ride on a tractor with Steve and Diane.

The process of putting together this story was not easy. First, I drove all the way out to the farm and found out that I forgot the tape that I needed to record the video on. I drove all the way back to campus to get a tape and then all the way back to the farm and the sun was just about set. So all I accomplished that night was an interview with Diane Eggert. I went back the following week and spent an entire Sunday with the Eggerts. It was a fabulous day. I will definitely visit them when I get back to Syracuse. I told them that I will be stopping by to buy a pumpkin from them!

So after I thought my piece was perfectly put together, my professor told me that my stand-up was out of focus...if I turned it in with an out of focus stand-up I would have received an automatic F. Not ok with me. So I went back to the farm for a third time to re-shoot a stand-up.

Here is a look at how my final story turned out...

Learning How to Become a Reporter

The second assignment for my Photography for Broadcast Journalism class was to do a story on anyone who had a job. I chose to do my story on a local chocolate shop owner.
