Lauren Simon is sleeping. Almost time to wake up for the day.

She is awoken by her alarm. She is struggling to get out of bed today. 

Right when she wakes up she heads to the bathroom. She always brushes her teeth first.

Next, she washes her face. This helps her wake up for the day. 

Lauren exits the bathroom and starts to brush her hair. It look longer because her hair was knotted from sleeping. 

After brushing her hair, Lauren changed into her outfit for the day. She decided to wear athletic wear today. 

Next she heads to her desk to put in her contacts. She just started using them so it takes some time to put them in. 

After finally getting her contacts in, she does some light makeup. 

Lauren eventually heads to the kitchen to empty out the dishwasher. She said she hates doing the dishes. 

After doing the dishes lauren starts to unload the dryer. Today is a day for doing chores!

She then starts to fold everything. Lauren went to put everything away as well. 

Finally it was time to eat! Lauren went to reheat left overs from yesterday. 

After a few minutes in the microwave her food was reheated. She decided to eat mac n cheese from Bull and Barrel. 

After eating a quick bite, Lauren heads to her desk again. She wanted to check up on some school work.

Now, her dog Sarge kept barking asking for attention. He was being a good dog and shook when asked. 

Now as the day winds down, Lauren goes to the couch to hang out for the rest of the day. It has been a day of doing chores. 

As seen here, Lauren and her dog Sarge are chilling on the couch. See you next time!

• PHOTO 1 = A photo that clearly showcases the Rule of Thirds using a person who is doing something. Try to get that action, whatever they're doing, as perfectly aligned on an intersection point in the Rule of Thirds as you can. 

                                    

• PHOTO 2 = A photo that showcases a main subject that is clearly framed by something in the foreground of the shot. Make this a low-aperture shot so the items framing the subject are out of focus, but the subject is in focus. Bonus points for extra creativity.

                                    

• PHOTO 3 = A photo that showcases a main subject that is clearly framed by something in the foreground. Make this one a high-aperture shot, so that the items framing the subject and the subject themselves are the same amount of in-focus. Bonus points for extra creativity.

                                

• PHOTO 4 = A photo that showcases your ability to take a photo of a primary subject with a VERY CLEAN background. And I mean squeaky clean. Remember to use the sky to your advantage, and that might mean shooting low-to-high angle.

                    

[PHOTOSTORY 4: STRUGGLE] Middle Georgia Food Bank Provides Food for Thousands

Middle Georgia Community Food Bank (MGCFB) rest along Ocmulgee E. Blvd. in Macon, GA. MGCFB was founded in 1981 and moved into their current facility in 2006.

A map of all the counties MGCFB services is displayed to showcase the extent of their impact. MGCFB serves as the primary food supplier for over 200 agencies among 24 central Georgia counties.

Industrial shelves line MGCFB's warehouse with hundreds of pounds of food stacked to the ceiling. The 36,000 square foot warehouse can support an estimated 117,000 people which equates to 15% of the population of MGCFB's service area.

DeAndrea Blue updates the inventory catalog as he prepares a food order. Every box of food within MGCFB is cataloged and entered into a digital system for inventory purposes.

DeAndrea Blue lifts cans of foods while putting together a food order. Warehouse workers like Blue fulfill an average of 30 orders daily for the community.

DeAndrea Blue sits down cans of food on a pallet filled with other items while preparing a food order. MGCFB is the primary supplier of food in mass amounts to different food pantries and agencies across their coverage area.

A United States Department of Agriculture sticker, that indicates they paid for it entirely, is placed on a box of raisins. Only about 30% of the food within the warehouse come directly from the USDA with the food bank buying the rest or having it donated.

Fernandez Glover drives a forklift into the warehouses separated fridge and freezer area. The fridge and freezer make up about 15% of the warehouse in both size and amount of food.

Within the warehouse fridge, cold foods and drinks line the wall. MGCFB typically does not have a large refrigerated inventory but has just recently had successes in nearly doubling what their typical amount.

Fernandez Glover sweeps the freezer floor free of ice and loose packaging. Glover oversees the inventory in the industrial freezer which stays at 8 degrees below zero.

Food donations from the public are sorted into different boxes by type. The food bank will accept any donations including sweets, toiletries and supplies.

Mike Morrison reviews inventory logs at his desk. Morrison is responsible for ensuring the extensive inventory is maintained properly and accurately.

Mike Morrison walks down an isle of the food bank in search for particular pallet of food. Morrison must verify any discrepancies within inventory to insure the accuracy of future inventory orders.

An American Institute of Banking (AIB) food safety inspection banner is proudly displayed in the warehouse. Every 2 years the AIB must complete an inspection of all the facilities in Georgia to ensure everything at the food bank is running smoothly.

Volunteer packed food boxes fill the volunteer room in preparation for pick-up. MGCFB receives a surplus of volunteers each week which help pack food for local distributors.

Volunteer Shalaya Patterson writes out a card for MGCFB's Senior Smiles program. The program is designed for elderly recipients to receive special kind messages when getting food deliveries. 

Three large loading bays line side-by-side in the warehouse pick-up section. Affiliates and partners can choose to come pick up orders themself from the site instead of having it delivered. 

Cornelius Vance (right) helps load up a pick-up order for a local partner. MGCFB typically receives about 20 pick-ups throughout the day from local affiliates.

MGCFB shipping trucks line the parking lot in preparation of deliveries across the central Georgia area. The trucks are typically used for larger orders for affiliates such as soup kitchens, backpack ministries and food pantries.

Messages of thanks line the wall in the office building. Each message is from online reviews of MGCFB from local residents and serves as a reminder to MGCFB staff of why they do what they do.
