Burr Oak Woods

Garrad

So far, I am having bad luck with my shooting assignments for my editorial photo class. Last week I had 2 shoots canceled, my memory card failed and I lost the majority of the images from for my first assignment, then this week I drove all the way out to Kansas City, Kan. for the Quindaro Community Festival - but it began raining during the drive. Once I arrived, nothing had been set up and no one was there, except for a radio station and a few women selling some produce. I was excited to photograph the dancers, the African Drumming group, the art, games, the children playing, people having a good time - but it didn’t happen. In a last ditch effort, I went to the Burr Oak Woods nature trail in Blue Springs, Mo. My bad luck didn’t stop there… because I soon realized that my lens is not focusing properly and the majority of my images came out slightly blurred when viewed at full-size. So here are the six images I found to be the most decent out of the ones I salvaged. Some of the other photos I took today are located here.
