Why the Waltonian Sucks



Many of my colleagues and I read the Waltonian, my school's newspaper. It sucks. For an example of why the Waltonian sucks, I present this:

That's a photograph I took of the Lovedrug concert a few weeks ago (yes, you may recall I was also running sound for this concert, and yes, I am proud that I'm such a dork that I took the photos AND ran the sound).

This is the photo that was printed in the Waltonian, pretty much as you see it:



Sucks, eh? Yeah. I offered my photoshopping skills if needed, they didn't ask for them. But this photo was printed.

I present to you the same photo, with 50 seconds worth of work in Photoshop. Yes, I timed myself. I don't use Prof. Frink as my rant icon for no good reason.



Not incredible, but it's a lot better.

The photo was attributed to one of the other Waltonian photographers, not me. This sucks. School papers suck, in general, I should say- but this is getting pathetic. Eastern University: Ignoring Quality since 1952
