Real Life Heroes

This week's assignment was to pick someone who we considered to be a real life hero. What better than showcasing our military, either past or present. Members of our military fought for us unselfishly so that we could live in the land of the free.Without them, we wouldn't live in the country we have today. For this assignment, I attended the "Then and Now" event at the Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg, Pa. The two veterans showcased what it would have been like to be in the Civil War.

This September 11th marked the ninth anniversary since the attacks and the crash of flight 93.

Family members and friends of the victims, military personnel, along with the public all attended the ceremony.

The Alphabet Portrait

This weeks' assignment, "The Alphabet Portrait," presented a bit of a challenge for me. Once I was given the letter "T," I began the search to find an occupation in the State College area that began with that letter. After two failed attempts of contacting certain occupations, I hit it big with Tattoo Mark's on Beaver Ave. The employees were great and very willing to help. I had a lot of fun with this assignment and hopefully the photos speak for themselves.
