I had a lot of trouble coming up with something to shoot, or more like something I wanted to shoot. I hate to worry about what falls into class criteria, but I am in school so right now its what I have to do. Lately I've been struggling as usual to understand why I want to take photos, and even harder then that is explaining to people why I want to take their photos. I know in my heart I generally love people and know that they are good, I want to show that in my photos, but its hard to explain to somebody that I want to tell their story through my photographs when I'm the 35th OU photojournalism student to shoot them in the past 15 years. What is left to tell? And who am I really telling their story to, other then my professor and some other photographers.

Are they using a dust-buster on that dog?
I really like these photos. Especially the 3rd one!
It's odd that of all the photos in this post, the dustbusting of the dog is the one that weirds me out the most.
