Two images from a project in progress. I’m not sure if the final will be in black and white or color, I like both.

can't stop, won't stop
I’ve been shooting a lot lately. Below are some, but not all of what’s been going, and others are out-takes from assignments. Betty Bigombe, a former minister of Uganda and peace negotiator, delivers her keynote speech Thursday discussing her mediations between the Lord’s Resistance Army, a rebel group led by Joseph Kony, and the Ugandan…
big pictures
I’ve finally made the change to big pictures. This may mean slower uploading of the website, but it shouldn’t be a problem if you pay for an internet connection, which I don’t. So now you don’t need to click on all the little pictures, not that you did before. Kate Gilliam, a junior journalism major,…
portraits and the like…
This is some stuff I’ve been working on for a studio class I’m in…for some reason blogspot preview jpgs are the untoned versions of the image…so if you click on the image, you get a better rendition of what I thought I was posting…it is silly and annoying all in one.
the things you did and didn't see…
I did not put this is much of an order other than the two photo essays. This stuff is from as recent as last week to last year and a variety of things I just never made time to get to until today, the fourth day of my spring break.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration in Chapel Hill
I will add captions to these later.
Cats and Dags and Ducks
Apparently, I’ve been taking pictures of animals. I was discussing with myself the other day how I didn’t care too much for images with no point of focus, and now I’m posting three out of focus images because I like them. I am not sure what to think of that. Meet bandit, or softie. My…
northmas
I went to the bay in Maryland over the break and here are some images. The ones of me in front of the lighthouse were photographed by Ashley. The selftrait (the first image) was done in Dallas as I have found myself with an abundance of time and limited options for activities lately. So I…
Robots
I know I haven’t posted in a while, so this will be very anti-climatic. “Zaven Paré is a French new media artist who lives in Rio. He has won international acclaim for his electronic puppetry, stage design, video projections, and robotic art. He has collaborated with dancers and playwrights as well as with other digital…
Tillers with 750 cc motorcycle engines, a fire and wildart!
The tiller race is a unique event in a town three hours away from Little Rock with a population of 359 according to the sign seen upon entering Emerson city limits. The tillers have motorcycle engines and race across a dirt field 200-feet in length at an average speed of 18 to 24 mph depending…
Internship in Little Rock!
I have been sick the past two weeks and at some point I received pneumonia. I am getting better though. Here are some images from when I have actually been able to work, I will give them brief captions. The first four images are from Riverfest, a big festival that happened a couple of weeks…
Been driving
Memphis looks fun. Tennessee is a nice drive. Alabama is flat. Texas is flatter.
Community Interaction!
I always see a big group of people playing basketball/volleyball/soccer at this park near my house and I went there to shoot this for a backup of another assignment. I think I might go back a few more times in these last couple of weeks I have left in Asheboro. I have other shots, but…
Potterait!
This is the second potter, Fred Johnston, I photographed for our photojournalism class. I really liked the building which he built himself. He is a very nice and interesting/inspiring person, I will post a soundslide with more images and audio later this week. I used two strobes. One SB-24 hidden in wood pile on left…
Motion!
A frame from a project I am working on in my own time. I will post it when it is finished.

Dallas!
Took my spring break in Dallas, this is a view from the rooftop on one of the many beautiful days this past week.
Suds & Duds!
This is an assignment for the multimedia class to document a place using only natural sound, images, and royalty free music. Other requirements were 15-20 images and 60 seconds in length. Some images were by me, most were done by Ashley Ross. The final shot is the cue ball smacking my lens. Fortunately, it was…

Selftrait!
It was pouring rain yesterday and I’ve not worked in the studio much lately so I decided to play for a while. I had other ideas but ended with this. D200 ISO: 200 F/11 @ 1/160th Strobe: Broncolor w/ Softbox
Pottery Project – Anita!
This was the first potter I photographed yesterday. The music is a little too loud in the final, it didn’t seem so loud while I was editing. Click here for the full resolution version and please excuse the purple text/link at the bottom. D200 ISO: 200 1/250 @ F/4 (Most Shots). Two off camera flashes…
Sketchy Warehouse!
These were taken at an abandon warehouse. It was sketchy. D200 1/1600 @ F/2.8 ISO: 320 D200 1/50th @ F/2.8 ISO: 320
Dallas Panoramics!
©2008 Jessey Dearing These are two panoramics from Dallas. I let CS3 do the hard work. I don’t remember how many images were in each. I think approximately seven in the sky image and at least 15 in the skyline image. Image 1: Nikon D200 ISO: 400 F/4 @ 1/160th 80-200mmImage 2: Nikon D200 ISO:…

Hip-Hop for Palestine!
Full res version is here. It was a fun show, the sound quality isn’t great, a little low.
MLK March!
This is the first of four or so soundslides we will have to complete in our Photojourn II class. We are not checked out on the audio equipment yet so I was unable get natural sound which would be a lot better than my voice. Click here for the larger version which will make viewing…
Film!
Color images were shot on Kodak E100G Vivid Saturation and the black and white image was shot with Tri-X 400 and processed in HC-110 Sol. B. Charleston citizens watch as former President Clinton walks through the downtown market area. I’m not sure about the cropping on this, it is full frame now, I might come…
Holly Street Art Collection!
Five reasons why you should have been at 337 Holly Street on Wednesday and why you should be there next and every Wednesday. Photographs are a collaboration of those who attended the first art show and none were manipulated in photoshop.
Waxahachie Texas!
This is a nice little town 30 minutes south of Dallas while I was visiting over the break. Apparently, it has been the location of several films, none of which I know the names of, IMDB it.I in an antique store. Men’s restroom at a restaurant with delicious chicken sandwiches. Waxahachie’s Courthouse in the center…
Scotty!
A photo of scotty watching The Office (British) on the tele inspired from a photo (not shown) by Scotty. Photography in it’s most basic and literal form. We ventured into some other designs, but are not shown here because they may be considered offensive or may not even be considered. The Magnetic Fields are on…
Parades and such!
I actually carried my tripod with me and shot this at 200 ISO right after dusk using tungsten white balance, which made the sky become a much more vibrant blue. This was a 4 second exposure at f/3.5. I think a slightly shorter exposure would have made the fireworks a little more defined. Can’t win…
Sidenotes!
Full Frame I shook a monkee’s hand. His name is Whoop Whoop.
Sports and a Food Drive!
Victoria Morton (from left), of Charleston, SC, waits outside while Staff Sergent Chris Marsh and Arthur Hopkins, carry a bin, weighing over 100 pounds, full of donated food into Morton’s home Thursday afternoon. The bin consisted of bread, a ham and turkey, canned foods, and preperation products such as sugar and flour. The Marine Contingent…
Fire in Charleston!
This is my first attempt at putting things in soundslides and onto the blog. I had to make this small for it to fit in my page, otherwise it did something crazy and looked strange. Click on the word “captions” to get text of what is happening in each frame. Click here to see a…
Bill Clinton, Fishing and Tearsheets!
I always end up photographing someone fishing. The red-drum tagging assignment was fun as I was able to ride around on a boat on a nice semi-warm sunny day for four hours. I spent 10 hours at a civil war re-enactment on Saturday, I’ll post a soundslide for that once I edit from the 900+…
Sports, Sales, and a really big Yacht!
Still busy. I liked the fisherman one better, but they published this one instead, probably because it had the coast guard dingy in the frame. Harry Noisette, of Charleston, SC, does not let the Seafair, a yacht that ran aground, change his fishing routine Friday morning, Nov. 2, 2007, at the Battery, in Charleston, SC….
Hockey, Fire and Wild Art!
They call a feature ‘wild art’ here so I drove around doing that for a few hours yesterday. I liked this shot before the bird flew in and then I really liked it afterward. Hockey was fun to shoot, the light is amazing in comparison to Friday night football; the ice makes for a nice…
Internship Update!
I’ve been shooting some at the local fair and mostly riding with other photographers at this point, however, I’m supposed to be going on my own assignments soon. I was able to ride in a helicopter at the fair which is how I was able to capture the overview. The butterfly guy below was an…
New York City!
I pieced these together. I might go back and add some literature about the trip in detail, however, at the moment I have no time for such things.
