Finally some snow in Springfield!

The first big snow of the season came in late January and we missed school for a couple of days. Serves Missouri State University right for starting this semester a week early! In celebration, many took to the slopes at Jordan Valley Park, including this skier.

Turns out he traveled a lot farther than I thought he would.It took him several minutes to put both skis on and adjust them. It took him several minutes to put on and adjust the skis.

About Yours Truly

My name is Ben Fry and as of this blog writing, I am a senior Broadcast Journalism major at Missouri State University. I decided to take photojournalism because I wanted a fun media class to fill a few elective hours I need. Also, I wanted to hone my still photography skills because I have a pretty nice digital single reflex lense camera that doesn’t get nearly enough use. I am from “the middle of nowhere” Washburn, Missouri; though I always love the prospect of going home as a break from the big city bustle. I know, for some considering Springfield a “big city” can be inaccurate, but from my perspective not so much. After graduation, I hope to either become a television news producer or a radio reporter.
