It been a tough, yet exciting transition back into daily life at Ohio University. I've gone back to taking daily assignments for The Post and also have begun to work on multiple picture photo stories in Marcy Nighswander's class in addition to being a part of Soul of Athens again this year. I've been on my feet a lot, juggling multiple tasks at once-both photojournalism and general curricular classes, but it feels great to be back in Athens, Ohio to finish the second semester of my sophomore year.
This week I mainly covered sporting events for The Post, but I also did a quick portrait shoot for a feature story on the Ohio University Double Reed Quartet.
The Ohio University Double Reed Quartet is comprised of (from left to right) Kevin Reim (Oboe graduate assistant) who plays the English horn, Andrew Payne (third year music performance graduate student) who plays the bassoon, Matthew Morris (Instuctor of bassoon and music theory) who plays the contrabassoon and Michele Fiala (Oboe associate professor) who plays the oboe.
