Published in the 2013 edition of Taylor University’s yearbook, The Ilium. This photography was recognized as the 2nd place News Photography for Division II Yearbooks by the 2014 Indiana Collegiate Press Association.
One of my goals in photojournalism is to creatively capture both the highlights and behind-the-scenes moments of events. Sometimes this is achieved easily with a single image, but some parts of the story require more explaining in the captions. Shots should also capture the feelings the subjects in the photos are experiencing—in this case, excitement and spontaneity. Skills used: Photography, dSLR cameras, layout, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop.
Bags were filled with colored powder and sold for a dollar each. The profits were donated to St. Martin’s Community Center in Marion, Ind.
Josh James and Doug Schaefer save (most of) their powder as they chat with friends before the fight begins. Although students could begin purchasing bags of powder even before the event started at 7 p.m., powder-throwing did not begin until 7:30.
On April 26, students throw powder at each other and in the air as part of the Festival of Colors, which was put on by the TSO group MESA and business students in the Management Analysis and Practice class.
Malinda Hall and Jimmy VanderGalien take a break from the colored chaos for a moment.
