Baywatch Brief Photo

Going Goat Photos #1-6

Reflection: I had the opportunity to interact with the family hosting the goats and the goats themselves. I usually wouldn’t include a picture of myself in my own story, but I felt this was an appropriate exception since it showed how friendly the animals were.

 

Reflection: This is Co-Pilot, he is a second goat that was bought to be a companion for Pilot because goats live in herds and without him, Pilot wouldn’t be able to function properly.

 

Reflection: The goats stayed in two different habitats, one at the station and one at the farm for during the winter. This is the habitat at the farm: It was important to capture the differences in these two.

 

Reflection: This is the habitat at the station. It was a dog cage that was renovated to hold the goats. Notice the lack of luxury in the second habitat.

 

Reflection: Along with Pilot and Co-Pilot, the farm also held three other animals, including two other goats and a goose.

 

Reflection: This is Pilot. He is of different origin than Co-Pilot, but nonetheless, the two of them have quite the bond and got along very well.

Hurricane Matthew Evacuation #5

 

Reflection: With the risk of the families’ possessions and home in general, the power lines near the ladder, front window, and garage in this picture are also at risk. If the power lines are damaged, the power could be out for days or even a few weeks: leaving the family without safe food, air conditioning, or working electronics.

Hurricane Matthew Evacuation #4

 

Reflection: This is the dining room towards the front of the house. The family had a lot of valuable glass items that they had to hope they wouldn’t lose if the hurricane entered their home. These families have to hope and pray that their home and valuables will not be completely lost in these dangerous storms.

Hurricane Matthew Evacuation #3

 

Reflection: This is a picture from inside the families’ home. They had to restructure almost their whole house to make sure their belongings were safe. The evacuation and safety process for the people dealing with tropical storms are nothing short of putting your life on pause for a day or two.

Hurricane Matthew Evacuation #2

 

Reflection: This is the front door of the families’ home. In the story, the father of this family spoke about the difficult process of drilling these panels into place over any window or door that could cause damage to the family or their house.

Hurricane Matthew Evacuation #1

 

Reflection: I wrote two stories involving Hurricane Matthew; this picture is from a families’ house during the evacuation process. I didn’t post the original story because it was too dated at the time, but this picture is still relevant because it highlights just how much the citizens have to do to protect themselves.

Drunk Driving Aftermath #2

 

Reflection: This is the second picture sent to me from Hannah’s accident. Hannah and her passenger were severely injured and had to be taken to the hospital, which is exactly what is occurring in this picture. This is the picture I placed in the original story because it shows how the severe injuries could affect the victims for the rest of their lives.

Drunk Driving Aftermath #1

Reflection: This is a picture I was sent from Hannah Loudermilk of her car after she was hit by a drunk driver. It was not placed into the original story because of the wacky structure, but it should still be viewed because it shows the true damage these accidents can cause.
