Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under Uncategorized
It looks like Mr. Sacha has joined MediaStorm. That leaves two of my classmates(Chad Stevens) from OU last year at MediaStorm. In the classroom the two always set the bar high and I’m excited to see what they’ll bring to MediaStorm. It’ll be dynamite no doubt. Congrats Bob!

My first photo story assignment back at OU had the class and I trying to tell a story from an event by shooting no more than 100 frames and with every frame being from a different angle/situation.
