{silly boy + a surprise!}

Almost two years ago I was finishing up my final semester of college. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Central Michigan University. I majored in my two FAVORITE areas: journalism and art. I love, love, love to write and dabble in photography. My Etsy shop has been a great way to showcase those talents, but we’re not talking about Etsy in this post. Well, don’t hold me to it, but this is supposed to be a story about college. College stories are great, aren’t they? Recall my January post, titled {I’ll just take my couch and MOVE OUT!}? Yes, that was one of those great college stories.

Get on track, Gussy.

OK. Ahem. During my final semester of college I had a photojournalism course for my journalism major. I had to do a photo story as the final project and it could be on ANYTHING I wanted. This is one of those rare moments in college when a professor gives his students free will to do a project entirely on what THEY want to do — and have it be a successful decision. Most of the time nothing is accomplished… there is no self-motivation… you know what I’m trying to illustrate.

So, photo story. My topic of choice. Yessssss :)

I went to a local preschool and found the most adorable little girl that was born deaf in one ear. She has a few brothers and they were born with the same syndrome. While I was working on the project {I went to the preschool about twice a week for a few weeks} a lot of the other chicklin’s became very interested in why I was there. There was one boy in particular that loved my camera.

One day I was going through my pictures for the photojournalism project and I came across this series. I about peed my pants. Take a look for yourself:







I should have just turned in these pics and hoped to get a good grade. No… I wouldn’t have done that. Allison had a cuter story to tell :)

Don’t you love when life gives you GREAT things like this to smile and remember for the rest of your life? I will forever keep these images. I love them… I can only imagine the unique captions that you could put with each picture. Go ahead and try ;)

Looks like I have a little surprise that is ready to be revealed. Remember a few days ago I posted these pics?


Look what Gussy has put together. It’s a special wallet reserved for our wedding photographer Mandy Gould:
