Photos

I took some photos of three different things in Beverly, Massachusetts, my hometown. The first set of photos I took was a cross country meet between two elementary schools St. Mary's and St. John's. I was attracted to it because when I was driving home, I saw the parking lot that was filled with cars and I figured what could be going on. I say a field of people and children walking across. When I asked, a man told me what was going on. So I took some shots of the girls racing against each other. It was hard to get an action shot of them running because of my inexperience using a camera.

The second set of photos was the construction of Beverly High, which the city had to close down a very popular and beloved elementary school, McKeown so they can have the funds to build it. The project will be finished by next summer and it seemed to be close to being finished. I figured getting a photo of kids in front of the school because it represents the old soon to be the new.

The final set of photos that I took were the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. It was recently closed and it will be moved to another location of the state, which is unknown at this time. There are some pictures of the place having a lease. This is significant because it hurts the people in Beverly that will be forced to find another RMV.

This was the most fun assignment that I had, but the most difficult. The hard part about the assignment was finding the right news and get the best shots. Since I just take photos for fun, trying to take it seriously was hard for me, but it was a learning experience.
