Photo Gallery Fun: Citrus Cel

The Citrus Cel Animation Film Festival took place over the weekend with workshops at the Cummer Museum and screenings at the 5 Points Theater. I helped out with the photo gallery for the event (I wasn't the only one taking pictures, but as of right now I'm apparently the only one who added them to the website??).

Check out the gallery to see some of the fun that the festival brought to the river city!

Photo gallery fun!

Check out the photo gallery of the "Where I Begin" showing at 5 Points Theatre in Jacksonville. The film, by award-winning filmager Thomas L. Phillips, featured local actresses and included a meet and greet with the Phillips before the show.

Article in Print! Harlem Globetrotters

Not only did I have a chance to meet and interview a member of the Harlem Globetrotters, he also taught me how to spin a ball on my finger!!

Read more about him and the rest of the team here. Is that his picture that was included in the story? ... No. Why? ... I have no idea.

But I'm looking forward to checking out the moves of the whole team on the court tonight!

Article in Print! Matt Spears

This is a feature story that I wrote a while ago and was held until the editor could get it on the front page. It's an interesting look at a local eye doctor's use of special contact lenses to treat the effects of keratoconus, a protrusion of the cornea that results in loss of vision.

The patient, Matt Spears, went from taking a trip to sign up for disability and learning to read braille, to having normal vision in a matter of minutes after meeting with the eye doctor, Dr. Armitage.

Article in (online) print: xomba.com

I had the opportunity this week to write my first post for a website called xomba.com. For those of you who aren't familiar with xomba (pronounced "zomba"), it's a site that allows contributors to post articles about a wide range of topics for others to read. It's kinda like a big blogging community. Just a bit more newsie.

I love that they have a wacky news tab, so I decided to go in that direction and address the yellow sac spider's recent infatuation with the Mazda6, resulting in a major recall by the manufacturer.

Yes, that's right. Even spiders want to go "zoom, zoom."
