Yesterday I got to do two amazing things. The first was give back a little to the program that helped shape my career @wkuphotojournalism by working with the students and teaching location lighting. The second was take a portrait of my mentor and @wku photojournalism department head, James Kenney. He helped guide me and motivate me to pursue my passion for which I’m forever grateful. It was a great day! —————————————— #nashvillephotographer #williamdeshazer #locationlighting #wku #westernkentuckyuniversity #bowlinggreen #wkupj #makeportraits http://bit.ly/2UHF7u1

The Faces of Kentucky Healthcare:

A few weeks ago, I got the chance to meet some incredible individuals and hear their stories while on assignment for The New York Times as healthcare reporter Abby Goodnough and I covered the state of Kentucky healthcare and it’s looming future.

SUMMER BLOG PT. 1

Hey y’all -

I have just finished my fourth week here at the C-J! Dang, time flies. It definitely took a minute to get used to shooting stills again. I’m still getting used to it actually. But while some days I feel like I haven’t produced anything even remotely good, I’ve had a lot of fun. I’m really enjoying getting to know this city. In other good news, I made it back to work from assignment the other day without GPS! I’m very proud of that one.

This past week was very much dominated by Ali’s passing, so that will be a separate blog post. But for now take a look at some of the things I’ve been shooting these past few weeks!

Captions:

1 - Hannah Clark, 8, tests out an air rifle for the first time during the NRA’s Convention Opening Day in Louisville, Kentucky, on Thursday, May 19. It is her first time at an NRA Convention.

2 - Sgt. Smith, 34, shares a moment with his wife, Megan Smith, 26, while waiting behind the stage curtains to surprise their son at his kindergarten graduation ceremony at Alex R. Kennedy Elementary. “It’s an emotional day for sure,” Sgt. Smith said.

3 - Shirley Wheeler, 69, from the Highlands, cast her vote for the Democratic Primary at Atherton High School on May 17, 2016.

4 - Kelvin Richardson, a mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service in Louisville, Kentucky, gathers the mail from the back of his truck before completing his “loop” on Tuesday, May 31. “I’d rather see a person happy with a piece of mail than to let them say they’re expecting something and I don’t have it,” Richardson said.

5 - Kelvin Richardson is a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service in Louisville, Kentucky. He has been bitten by a dog once in his career, but he says that doesn’t scare him. “Dogs are like people, you just gotta know how to approach them,” Richardson said. “They keep you company for more than just protection… and they read you like you wouldn’t believe.” Richardson has five dogs at home.

6 - Students at Minor Daniels Academy watch Mario Domingo, an 8th grade student, during a robotics camp competition to see what team’s “vehicle” could go the farthest. The students had to make an air-powered vehicle out of paper cups, tape, construction paper and popsicle sticks. Since the vehicles had to be “air-powered”, many students opted to push the vehicle across the floor using only their breath.

7 - Rodolfo Bernal, from Goshen, Kentucky, has been a hobbyist beekeeper for seven years. “It requires a lot of sweat and a lot of dedication,” Bernal said. “When they are happy, I am happy.”

8 - Colin Karsner, 4, from Louisville, Kentucky, looks in awe at the lego displays at the Lego KidsFest in Louisville, Kentucky on Friday, June 3.

9 - Landscapers Drew Guillaume (left) and Konrad Kraft (right) finish up the final touches as they finish raking in mulch for the new planters at Big Four Bridge on May 17, 2016.

10 - Children of all ages enjoyed the “lego pit” at the Lego KidsFest in Louisville, Kentucky on Friday, June 3. The event will be held at the Kentucky Expo Center until Sunday.
