Greg Kendall-Ball, Photographer, Assistant Columbia | MO | USA | Posted: 12:32 PM on 12.25.12 ->> I just unwrapped a copy of Sebastiao Salgado's WORKERS from my sis-in-law. I also got Barthes' Camera Lucida and Sontag's On Photography. I'll be thoroughly enjoying leafing through those over the rest of my winter break from grad school. What did Santa/Krampus/the Christmas Fairy/friends and family send your way this holiday?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The images are fantastic and inspiring. I also got some money that is either going to pay to replace an old lens or help me get a roof over my head in a new city. Every bit helps.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I freelance for a local media site in my hometown and these are pictures of some of the assignments they sent me to photograph. I am grateful they gave me a chance as it has led to many paying gigs outside of working for them. I gained valuable experience by shooting a variety of different events other than sports. Hopefully I can take my photography to another level this upcoming year. http://www.mapesphotography.com/Other/Portfolio/24394602_Xnc3BC#!i=1988750795&k=gFsZ42L  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
