This is my place on the Web to let you know what is going on with me!
Taylor Tribbey, an aspiring photojournalist and videographer, obtained his associate’s degree in photography at San Antonio College and is now pursuing a bachelor’s degree in journalism at Texas State University.
Working as a news photographer for The Ranger News at San Antonio College, Tribbey learned valuable video and photojournalism skills such as interviewing techniques, working with b-roll, and creating his own creative and interesting cutlines for photos. At Texas State University, Tribbey has been involved in several scholarly and journalistic endeavors including video interviews and photography projects.
A few school projects Tribbey has worked on include: creating an HTML resume website and polishing it with CSS and Photoshop; applying basic video shooting and editing concepts like cropping, splitting clips, adding audio and transitions to tell a multimedia story; and using Wordpress to create a multimedia reporting project with videos, links, widgets and interactivity.
In addition to his studies, he has participated in diverse school organizations at Texas State University, including: the Middle Grey Photography Association, where he attends local events and participates in forums for constructive criticism and creativity in photography; the Pagan Student Fellowship of Texas State, which performs workshops with informational PowerPoints and local promotions such as tarot readings and bake sales on campus; and the Young Americans for Liberty, the largest, most active and, as Tribbey describes it, "the fastest growing pro-liberty organization on America’s college campuses."
In addition, Tribbey helped out fellow skateboarding enthusiasts in his hometown of New Braunfels, Texas, with a fundraising campaign for the Jaws Skatepark Foundation. He collaborated with the city council and made speeches on issues involving the park budget. In what became a four-year process, from his freshman to senior years attending New Braunfels High School, Tribbey was successful in aiding the creation of a project that eventually lead to one of the largest grant amounts from the Tony Hawk Foundation, totalling $25,000.
