Photo Story - Raft Races
The final project in my Photojournalism class is a photo story, the story I chose to follow this week is my friend Anna Ehlers and her team who organized and participated in a philanthropy event. The event was a raft race of which took place May 19th and included eight other fraternity / sororities from around OSU. Commonly these events are held to promote and collect donations for non-profits and this one was no different, for this event the non-profit they were collecting for is the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. The day before the event Anna (right) and her team of sisters, including Kyra (Middle) and Haley (Left) is reserved for building their raft. As part of the rules the only materials allowed are duck tape, cardboard, plastic bottles and anything else that can be recycled. The main idea that Anna's team had was to make a solid base made out of interlocking duck taped bottles with a sort of seat on the top. This ideas eventually turned into the craft you see before you
