Gardenscape '12

As some of you may know, I am originally from Rochester, NY. This past weekend I went home and attended Rochester's garden show, which is called Gardenscape. You may have heard of Syracuse's garden show, CNY blooms, which was held here on campus this year, but in my opinion Gardenscape takes the cake in NY garden shows. They have many great large displays of actual gardens, installed by real landscapers looking for a chance to show off their work, as well as vendors selling flowers, food, gardening supplies and different things to improve your home and lawn. I love going there every year and taking literally hundreds of photos. Here are just a few I took, hope you enjoy them!

Occupy Syracuse: Hushed but not Silenced

Despite being removed from Perseverance Park in downtown several weeks ago, Occupy Syracuse protesters are still finding ways to keep the movement alive. Here, Zach Ott holds a sign at the 2012 St. Patrick's Day parade to keep the Occupy movement alive in the minds of the masses. Photo by Tim Louer.

Sports Assignment

Nice work on the sports assignment. I know it challenged many of you…that’s a good thing. The skills you use photographing a sporting event transcend to all aspects of photography.

I posted two galleries. Rebecca’s photos from a Syracuse Crunch game and Tim’s photos from the Jamesville-Dewitt vs. Cortland boy’s section III final basketball game. (Links are below).

A few of you didn’t include caption information in the file info area with your photos, so I couldn’t post them. If you still would like to post them..no problem…please see me.
