The manager gave me a golf cart and told me to do what I needed. Unfortunately it wasn't a very popular day to golf. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1405005152280-VCEF42O24CU76JK44O29/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 5: Waves Friday: Fourth of July! I was assigned to cover the Eno Festival in Durham. It was not your typical Fourth of July celebration. Alden Phelps, 6, tries to catch tadpoles in the Eno River during the 35th annual Festival for the Eno in Durham, N.C., Friday, July 4, 2014. Festival goers had the opportunity to play in the Eno River as well as listen to musical groups and browse crafts created by local artists. The event is presented by the Eno River Association, which is committed to the preservation of the nature, culture, and history of the Eno River basin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1405005384979-SRWTZN1ZXHTS2V8ULVEJ/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 5: Waves Zane Cornwright, 7, of Durham, jumps into the Eno River in Durham during the Festival for the Eno on Friday, July 4, 2014. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1405005264205-OINYOSFHOPW1BU23VC0Y/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 5: Waves Festival goers add artwork to the giant "O" near the Meadow stage at the Festival for the Eno in Durham on Friday, July 4, 2014.

With such a large hospital they have trained hundreds of medical personnel how to use the new system so that they can train their coworkers. Each of the trainers receive a phone at the beginning of their shift. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1404175713236-ZQD2IZ26D31TFRPDNEBD/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 4: Halfway Monday: The trained users wore colored vests and helped doctors to use the new system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1404175887827-39SXV3XQ6LDA5SXTPASY/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 4: Halfway Tuesday: The N.C. Legislature is currently proposing a budget that would cut funding for driver education. I had the joy of riding along with a new driver and his instructor. I now fully understand how my parents felt when I started driving. It was scary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1404176139424-FOFLCM57Q6KMV99V3FC6/RAILHAWKS02-062414-SS.jpg Blog - Week 4: Halfway https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1404313550279-UV51C9RZOGHICIX93WPA/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 4: Halfway https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1404176200657-KX36IZUPQUMJJSBQE051/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 4: Halfway Thursday: Fans gather at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary to watch the United States compete against Germany in the 2014 World Cup. I snapped this photo near the end of the second half when it was clear Germany was going to win. Two days later I received an email from an angry subscriber asking why the N&O would publish a photo that exemplifies such disrespect to the flag. Even as an avid Girls Stater, I respectfully disagree. I'm proud of this photo and think it demonstrates this woman's pride in her country that she was willing to sit in 90-degree heat to watch her team. Food for thought. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1404176408350-AU8VL8487ICOVGPJWRLM/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 4: Halfway Thursday: Later in the day, I went to Marbles Kids Museum to cover the Kick-off to Kindergarten event. Rising kindergarteners had the opportunity to go through the lunch line and ride the school bus for the first time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1404176347250-Q85EGNE874IKSASGXGDL/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 4: Halfway https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1404176260131-5VZOXUSNYCAZI2SUNEZ9/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 4: Halfway Friday: Dance & Math & Music campers perform for their parents at the Raleigh School of Ballet. I used to take dance lessons at the Raleigh School of Ballet so it was fun to visit the place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1404176565074-KERD3IYBKK4U4SR5YY7K/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 4: Halfway Saturday: I traveled to Bentonville where archaeologists and volunteers are excavating the grounds around Harper House. To get this low angle, I had to literally lay flat on my stomach in the dirt. And who says being a photojournalist isn't glamorous?? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1404176635757-ZEIBV7ZOM3WACKWOWIZQ/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 4: Halfway https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1404176720010-MEJVRW9B5W5CWX5BR9K4/KITCHENCHEM002-062914-SS.JPG Blog - Week 4: Halfway Sunday: Chelsea Hemsworth, 7, examines salt and sugar under a microscope at Marbles Kids Museum on Sunday, June, 29, 2014. The museum hosted N.C. BioNetwork scientist Summer Cortinas, who showed young visitors different elements of kitchen chemistry, including crystals, candy dyes, and polymers. Chelsea was celebrating her birthday at the museum and wore a princess dress and crown. As a product of an all-girls high school education, I love seeing young girls engaged in science and math. So often, the stereotype is that girls that are interested in math and science can't be girly. That's just not true. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1404176811958-VXK0Z88RWYHG2D1JTZM9/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 4: Halfway Chloe Wolf, 7, plays with polymers at Marbles Kids Museum Sunday . http://www.sarahshawphotography.com/blog/2014/6/22/week-3 monthly 0.5 2016-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1403455515957-PFJH903BZGOE04U9DVKH/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 3: Diving In Monday: Moral Monday protests at the NC Legislature. Nearly 20 people were arrested. This was my first experience shooting a very "newsy" event. I was really nervous but loved gaining that experience.

Let me just tell you, feature hunting is hard!! Jill Knight and I drove around Raleigh, up and down neighborhood streets trying to find people forced to work out in the heat. Finally we stumbled upon subcontractors finishing a driveway on Grant Ave. Gregory Hairston sweats while cleaning the edges of a freshly paved driveway. Hairston worked through the heat of the day to help finish the driveway for Teague’s Concrete. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1403480528161-NHPU8PSY27CPY2NB9ESF/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 3: Diving In Friday: I got up at 5:30am to drive to Wilson, N.C. where I met Jack Saylor, a 93-year-old fitness instructor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1403461564651-XTF36CG98Q06TUT1IEWO/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 3: Diving In Friday: Later in the day, I covered the World Refugee Day Festival in downtown Raleigh.

As a photojournalist, the idea of posing someone and being in complete control of the situation is foreign. As photojournalists, we adapt and react to situations, never controlling them. Yet in portraits, we have to control; we have to pose. I loved meeting Robyn Johnston and practicing my portrait skills with her and her mosaics. I also love the texture of her front steps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1403452780155-6W4W4XEJV4R5206U48IC/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 2: Learning Thursday was the last day for Wake County elementary schools.

I was instructed to wear business casual. What I quickly learned was that business casual for photographers is very different than business casual for reporters. Within a few hours of arriving at the N&O, I was sent to help cover a tractor demonstration. I think I've finally gotten all the dirt out of my Tory Burch flats. Lesson #1: Be prepared for anything! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1402850529433-JKMSN96THVFBXTWIFWES/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 1: Beginnings Day 3: Road trip!

I had the opportunity to take portraits of M.H. Green, a WWII veteran who was off the coast of Normandy when his ship was blown apart by mines on D-Day. My grandfather was in those same waters 70 years ago, so it was an honor for me to meet and spend time with Mr. Green. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1402851506839-R2WNT2LWB4U4B8L3GN8O/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Week 1: Beginnings Day 5: This sweet boy sustained brain damage at birth and has severe developmental delays. He has a sweet and powerful connection with his therapist, who works with him five days a week. After working on several autism stories, covering this story was very emotional and special to me. These children with autism and other developmental problems are some of the sweetest people I have ever met. I am always so lucky to meet them and have the opportunity to help share their stories. http://www.sarahshawphotography.com/blog/tag/Raleigh+photojournalist monthly 0.5 http://www.sarahshawphotography.com/blog/tag/Raleigh+lifestyle+photographer monthly 0.5 http://www.sarahshawphotography.com/blog/tag/Chapel+Hill+Photographer monthly 0.5 http://www.sarahshawphotography.com/blog/tag/Raleigh+Photographer monthly 0.5 http://www.sarahshawphotography.com/tourdefat daily 0.75 2014-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1403496047830-DCJWII7L94CX08YG1TAV/001.jpg Faces of Tour de Fat Hundreds of bikers took to the streets of Durham, N.C., Saturday, June 21, 2014 to participate in the fourth annual Tour de Fat.

Here, Cathy checks the neck of a guitar awaiting repair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1423435060304-6IOUQYTVAXAQFJM3W4QI/02-T_FINAL_WEB_Sarah_Shaw_-_X9A6465.jpg Unending Melodies Cathy (center) laughs with (from left) her boyfriend, John Hamlett , coworker Erik Davig and musican Craig Langford.

He was right on cue with everything. He even had some words,” said Vicki Gurganus. “But then at about 18 months, he stopped paying attention when we said his name.” Her son, Zackary “Zack” Gurganus, now 16, was diagnosed with autism at 22 months. Autism is a developmental disorder that is usually diagnosed within the first five years of a child’s life. It affects the neurological development of social and communication skills, but it is still unknown whether the autism is caused by genetics or early childhood environment. Regardless of its cause, autism is life changing. While waiting for the Special Olympics Spring Games to begin, Zack clings to his father, Kevin Gurganus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1412177889146-X3I2A0YNGZXQVGBI2S93/002.JPG Blessing of Autism Zack is nonverbal and is unable to voice his frustrations and worries. “We don’t know why he gets upset and all of the sudden has a meltdown to where he bites himself or somebody else or reaches out and pinches somebody or gets angry and bangs his head. We don’t know why,” Vicki said. “We have shed tears trying to analyze what triggers him. But we simply don’t know.” Zack gets frustrated while working with his occupational therapist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1412177892946-5XKSL57ONPQROR0M0C4Z/003.JPG Blessing of Autism Zack has always been an active child. When he was younger, he would jump for hours and hours on a small trampoline in his bedroom. As he grew taller and outgrew the indoor trampoline, Vicki and Kevin bought a larger outdoor trampoline. Here, one of his therapists, Michelle, cheers him on as he jumps.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1412177891610-8EELCJ3EH975WEG06HYC/004.JPG Blessing of Autism “Right now we financially have help through Medicaid, which is such a blessing. We are able to have speech and OT here at our home, and we are able to have these wonderful workers who work with him,” said Vicki. “We don’t want Zack to ever be without the help he needs. We can do without pleasures for us in order to provide for him, but we couldn’t survive without his workers and therapists.” Michelle works with Zack on Tuesdays and Thursdays and usually takes him out into the community in order to expose him to new situations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1412177895449-9WFNHLO49PYXXFUXFZBX/005.JPG Blessing of Autism Barnes and Noble is one of Zack’s favorite places to visit. With his childlike mind, he loves to sit in the children’s section and flip through picture books. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1412177895916-HGH8HUJZBV204A53TE1O/006.JPG Blessing of Autism “I still believe that he will one day talk. I believe that the Lord will give him the words one day to talk. He may not be able to sit and have a conversation like us, and that’s OK,” Vicki said. “But I have faith in God that one day he will say words, that he will speak. I haven’t given up. He’s sixteen and I haven’t given up.” Zack practices writing his name and phone number in case he ever gets lost. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1412177912552-M4BN8EBU3BX3Y6XI4OSJ/007.JPG Blessing of Autism “Zack is still mentally very young in a lot of ways, like a 2-year-old, even though he is physically 16,” said Vicki. Zack loves to watch children’s shows and movies, replaying certain parts. He sits on a bouncing ball in his room, rewinding the movie so that he can watch the same five seconds over and over again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1412177903100-9J5XILOJL1IMEH51YSLY/008.JPG Blessing of Autism “I know Zack will never live alone,” Vicki said. “He will either be always living with us or if he lives in a home away from us, it will be a group home. I would rather him live with us. He’s my son.” Zack listens to children's songs while swinging at the neighborhood park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1412177914267-ZWGKPNP3TCJ8S5FPVXOY/009.JPG Blessing of Autism “When Zackary was little, we would sit on the floor, behind him with our arms and legs around him and hold him and rock him and kiss all over him and tell him we love him. And he would fight us. But we got past that,” said Vicki. “I’ve learned just to give him love, and that’s all he wants, lots of love.” Zack gently touches Vicki's face as she leans him to kiss him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1412177934258-IZL3ELVDW7BPTQXKOQP9/010.JPG Blessing of Autism Zack’s older brother, David took off work to come support him at the Special Olympics Spring Games.

They want to help out in any way that they can.” David runs with Zack in the assisted 50m run. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1412177921261-IN2NS8UPIBNRDVWLIVLP/012.JPG Blessing of Autism Zack climbs on David like he did when he was younger and smaller, not realizing that he is almost the same size as his older brother. “Autism is difficult. But we feel that we are also blessed with autism. We look around and see these other children that have other issues. Zackary is not in a wheelchair. Zachary is not on a feeding tube. We are blessed with autism, the greatest challenge of our lives.” http://www.sarahshawphotography.com/his-own-little-world-1 daily 0.75 2016-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52abc3a0e4b0f7406a38bf83/1387035537229-DQMPGRELRZJ92C7TJLDQ/06_shaw_01.JPG His Own Little World Alisha and Eric suspected something was very wrong with one of their sons. “But the picture was clouded by the fact that he was such a preemie,” said Alisha. “We didn’t know what ‘normal’ delays were for him.” Twins Gavin and Ethan were born 12 weeks early. Ethan started talking when he was 2, but Gavin remained silent. When Gavin turned 5 years old, Alisha and Eric had their suspicions confirmed. Gavin was diagnosed with autism, a developmental disorder that affects the neurological development of social and communication skills.
