Special Project
So we were asked to do an assignment for special project week. This is a major assignment where we had to go out and take photos related to different subjects. I chose the subject of sports and recreation. So I contacted Matt Mapletoft, a curler on the Laurier team, went down to Waterloo, and got some shots . I got some good photos out of it and Matt was a great sport. Thanks again buddy!
Also a big thank you to anyone that voted for me in the Journalism Dream contest put on by the Globe and Mail. I didn’t even come close to winning but I appreciate those who took the time to vote anyways 
Here are the 4 pictures I chose to use for my special project.
