Summer's come to an end, and now I'm back in Athens, Ohio, in the midst of my junior year at Ohio University. Since getting back, I have kept myself busy with a multimedia class, working for The Post, applying for summer internships, singing with the Singing Men of Ohio, and a few other general classes. I apologize for not posting anything in quite a while, this year hasn't afforded me much of a break to look back at what I've accomplished over the last two months. 

The first four images are from the annual Pawpaw Festival held in Albany, Ohio, which I also wrote a story about for my magazine feature writing class. The last few portraits are from the HallOUween block party in Athens, Ohio. In between are images from assignments I've taken for the post while not working on audio and video pieces for my multimedia class.
