UF Homecoming Parade 2009

Shot these for UF Law…

Trial Team Competition

For my job at UF Law, I was assigned to cover the Trial Team competition on Nov. 15. Here are a few of the photos. More info is at the top of the latest edition of FlaLaw Online.

Law Commencement

I know these are a little old, but I just now finally remembered to place these work photos online. These are some of the photos from the May 15 UF Levin College of Law Commencement ceremony at the O-Dome.

Took this for work (UF Law School). It’s being used on this website, too.

I AM ALIVE!

Despite a nearly 45-day absence from my blog that I have maintained since November 2002, I am still alive and doing well. With the end of Summer B, a much needed vacation with the completion of moving into a new apartment with Erin and the start of the Fall 2007 term, life has been extremely busy.

I started my third semester at the University of Florida August 23. I also started my job as Photo Editor at the Alligator. Every day since then, I have been waking up every morning by hitting the ground running. With the responsibility of running the photo section of one of the largest student-run newspapers in the nation, it can be a little overwhelming at times. Then again, it is something I want to do.

My classes have been okay, so far. Hurricanes (MET 4532) is interesting, but is a little project heavy. So is Fact Finding (JOU 3110). In that core journalism class, you are taught how to search public records and information. A major final project is required (as well as a book report…which i need to start reading). Extreme Weather (GEO 2242) is okay. Right now, we are covering the basics of meteorology, so I am a little bored right now. But with Specialized Photojournalism (JOU 4603), I am always on my toes. This is another project heavy course with studio assignments due nearly every week. A midterm and final project with the creation of audio sideshows is also required.

So, you can probably see why I have not made a lot of posts. UF and the Alligator have kept me from having just a few minutes on the computer with the desire to write something.

On the main site – www.daweathaman-journalist.com – you might have seen the graphic about a change in the site. This will be a slow process since I will be pretty loaded this semester. This blog for now on will basically be a photo blog. At times, I might spew some random comments about life, news, etc. For now, I will stick to photos and will start posting things here online.

I will be covering the UF vs. Tennessee game Saturday at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville. I will post some photos here when I get the chance.

Changes are coming to the blog…slowly…but stay tuned.
