After my 3rd trip with MU Science Outreach to Lange Middle School, the kids were pretty much used to me and the camera in the background. Most of the time I could take video and photos without breaking their concentration.
Other times, they wouldn't sit still. That's the great thing about filming grade-school kids...they never shut up and never stop showing off.
I'm a Pittsburgh native pursuing a dual-major in convergence journalism and international studies, and these are the faces I've come to love so far from home. Call it a "humans of mid-Missouri" if you wish. Sometimes I'll post poetry. Sometimes I'll post photos of faces that were never newsworthy, but that doesn't mean there isn't a story behind them. These are the faces of friends, family, and passing strangers in mid-Missouri. They pour a little extra honey into my day, they mentor me, and even as they quickly come and go from my life, they provoke my curiosity.
