Visual Journalism Final

It was the week before finals, and just when I thought life was falling through my fingers, my best friend, Atache, goes into to labor.

 

She began contractions at about 7 am on the morning of December 1st. We didn't actually take the pain seriously until about 7:45, and that is when we called her mom. Her mom drove from El Dorado to Magnolia and pushed it back to El Dorado's Women Center to get ready for delivery.

I didn't arrive until around 4:30 pm, and 2 hours after that it was showtime! The birth was not natural, but the baby boy came out to be a healthy 6 lbs, 11oz, and 18 in of pure joy!

The first two videos were taken with the Snapchat camera, and they were posted to my Snapchat story for others to view. For me Snapchat was so much more convenient to catch the fast pace moments, but that quality did not match that of my digital camera which was used to film the rest of the shots. Here is a link to the entire video:

Assignment 20: Wild Card

Walking along the yard of Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Government Degree College this morning you may have ran into a rather adventurous reptile. On December 12th, a 12-foot python strayed onto a college campus in Allahabad, India. Luckily a botany professor was nearby to successfully restrain it with his bare hands and later set it fee into the forest according to Twitter.
