Senior trumpet player Eric Stroupe is involved in the marching band, wind symphony and jazz band at North Hardin High School. He plans to pursue a degree in music at Murray State University or the University of Kentucky. While most music majors plan for a career in education, Stroupe hopes to make it as a performance musician.
Posting chronologically is overrated. These are a few images from a last minute road trip to Charleston, SC just before school started. During the trip I focused a bit more on details and more abstract looking images (though I couldn't resist Samm's smiling face).
A few images from North Hardin's first marching competition of the season. Looking at these images I realize I'm a sucker for guard. They're the most visual.
I'm back at school, on staff for the yearbook, and in my most anticipated class: lighting. So there should be many more posts to come. Here's just a few fun shots from the first week of classes. (The second one is an almost photo. Still practicing shooting at wide open f-stops.)
This post is a bit backwards. I actually took it before I went to deaf camp, I just toned it last. Anyways, I spent the day in Louisville with two other PJ friends Danielle and Kelsey. We ate delicious Qdoba, walked/drove around town, went to the waterfront while it was bathed in gorgeous "Jesus light", and ended the night at a punk show. It felt good to shoot for a whole day in an interesting city with good friends.
I worked as a camp counselor at the Lions Youth Camp for deaf and blind children 6-15 years old. I had so much fun getting to know all the kids and brushing up on my ASL.
