bowling

Ypsi-Arbor Lanes will be closing in May of this year. Ken Hillis an employee of the bowling alley said, "Its sad. this place with enough investment and care could become a great community center for Ypsi as it has been in the past." The alley will be closing due to a number of issues including  Michigan's recent ban on smoking indoors.

Wrestling

Eastern falls to Kent State with a depressing 30-3 loss. In the photo Jacob Byers early on struggles to keep Eastern in the game.

pizza day

I promised I would post this to my work buddies a while ago. Basically, the story is that we get pizza at work every week and this is how it looked on work day. We were most upset.

Oh yeah, and its really greasy pizza. Thank goodness we have switched to a different food source this semester.

Chinese Week

Chinese week started at EMU on Sunday. I had the opportunity to go backstage to some of the events and take some pictures of everyone getting ready. (Top to bottom: Chen Han awaits her performance in the Chinese traditional costumes event, while Man Wong(below) does her makeup for the event. Lan Wang(bottom) was part of the Ann Hua Dance group.

christmas cards

Just wanted to take some time to say Happy Holidays to everyone!! I have had a really good year with photography and hopefully it continues. I know I have been really bad about updating the blog, and for that I am sorry.

I thought I would post some Christmas cards I made for this season. Like them? let me know for next year, or any occasion!

Happy Holidays!

Ted and Casey

I had the opportunity to photograph Ted and Caseys wedding last week! The wedding had a fall theme to it so we had to get photos with their pumpkins!

Rick Snyder

I had the opportunity to cover the election party for Rick Snyder on Tuesday evening. It was super crowded but I managed to get some pretty sweet pictures of the event. 

urban planning

So yeah, I haven't actually been shooting all that much this week, so I thought I would post something I am doing. This is part of an Urban Planning project I am doing, right now the houses look pretty depressing to live in and that is not the nature of the actual block. So I am in an ongoing process with this project, but when i finish I will post the final work! 

Tomorrow I am going to do some shooting at the Rick Snyder Victory Party, so I will post some of those. I am also going to try and make it to the Virg Bernero not victory party. ( Im just guessing this will be the outcome based on the polls right now) 

Thanks for lookin'

Virg Bernero

Bernero came to EMU for a town hall meeting, so I thought it would be cool to post some photos. I really enjoy taking photos of politicians  and their expressions. 

Eric

Sorry everyone I havent been updating the blog that much! I have been super busy with school and such. Also shooting at the paper and personal projects havent been the most exciting lately.

However, this past week at the Michigan Association of Planning conference I was able to meet some cool people (Eric and Angela) and take some portraits. These were taken on Belle Isle, an awesome location for shooting!

Hopefully I will be shooting more and more as the year dwindles down to an end. Tomorrow I will be photographing an event with Virg Bernero The Democratic candidate running for Michigan Governor so I will try and post those afterwards. Thanks for being awesome!

New Blog!!

Hello Everyone, I would like to welcome you to my new website! I am in the final stages of web developing with my designer Jaime Chao, who is designing the site. I decided I wanted to get the blog rolling earlier than the entire site so here it is.

I will be posting mostly personal personal projects, and fun candids, or things I find interesting around. If you are interested in my photography please email me at phredric@gmail.com. If you are interested in viewing other work, simply click on the Facebook icon on the sidebar or on the bottom of the page.

Hopefully soon photographybynoah.com will be my actual website with the blog attached.

Thanks to everyone who has been a willing subject for me to photograph!

Noah
