I photographed five high school graduations this season for various newspapers, and I noticed some recurring themes.
Serena Renner, my friend and colleague at Meridian Collective wrote a blog post which echoes my own sentiments and concerns over the last year I’ve been out of school: whether to go to journalism school.
I just spent some serious time on Facebook, something I rarely do. I made myself some fan pages and nabbed my own username: facebook.com/willparson.
I’m pleased to announce I took home two awards and an honorable mention at the 2009 San Diego County Fair Photojournalism Exhibition. “Freegans” won second place in the photo essay category, and “PBR Rodeo” won third place in the same category. “High Tide at Scripps Beach,” seen above, received an honorable mention in the Documentary category.
