Gettin’ Her Hands Dirty

  

In October I went to the Mountain Workshops in Danville, Kentucky. Their site went up this week with everyone’s work.  

Over five days I worked on a story about dairy farmer Brenda Croshaw. Brenda and her husband David have been raising and milking show cows for seven years. While I there one of their cows gave birth to a heifer calf, and Brenda was so pleased I was there to film the birth she named it after me. Baby Meagan was born at 12:30am October 18th weighing around 65lbs and the expect her to be sold this spring for around $6,000 as a show cow.This was my first time combining audio, still photography and video into one piece. My coach at the workshops was Colin Mulvany and I am very thankful for his guidance and editing advice while I worked on this story.
