Audio Ammunition Press

2008-02-18T13:26:00.009-06:00

I also dug up some old press about Audio Ammunition. In Fall 2007 we were featured in The Maneater for our show with Shiny Toy Guns in Some 'ammo' for toy guns.

The Columbia Tribune mentions Audio in a short "ticPick" as well as a humorous article featured the weekend Elton John was in town, Elton fans.

The Maneater also mentions us in UMBROS takes top spot at battle. The story covers the Mizzou Battle of the Bands in Spring 2007.

As of now, this is the only press I have dug up, but I know we've been featured in a few other publications which may be print only.

I photographed "Godlight" in October 2004 for a photography class project in which we were assigned to demonstrate a word through photography. When "illuminate" was assigned to me, I decided to attempt to capture light near churches with obscure exposure settings. I really lucked out on this find in Columbia, Mo.

Print redesign

2008-01-28T07:13:00.000-06:00

New layout for the print page in development. Each print logo will take you to a gallery of images for each print job, along with a text description for each example. This update can be expected by 6:00 p.m.

After the print section is completed, I will move on to the video and audio sections for redesigns and new content.

XHTML Blogger

2008-01-27T19:42:00.000-06:00

Fixed a few bugs that were causing compliance problems through Blogger.

If you are having XHTML compliance problems with your Blogger setup, navigate to the basic settings tab of your Blogger administration interface. Set "Show Quick Editing on your Blog?" to "No". Also set "Show Email Post links?" to "No". This should fix most of the errors caused by Blogger.
