While I had always been a better writer than photographer, I am lucky to be in Mizzou to train my camera skills. In addition, while the photojournalism class is the most hectic with morning lessons and the longest hours spent in school, it also meant I was able to make more friends there. Here are some snippets of the class I took:
The room where our lectures are held, inside Lee Hills.
Class has just ended and students stayed back to discuss photo editing with one another.
It is a sleepy Monday morning but many still turned up. While many would be feeling sleepy, Starbucks coffee helps alot.

She is always with us during lab lessons where we would learn adobe bridge, photoshop, indesign, sound slides and many other cool stuff. Lab sessions are in the late Monday evening (groan), so I am always yawning… …

He is a masters student like many others in this class. Many of them spent many years doing photography and photoshop and they are really good.
