My name is Justin Shaw and I’m a photojournalism/folklore student at Western Kentucky University. My mother told me to choose a career that I would love doing. That way, when I went to work, it wouldn’t feel like work. I’ve had a camera in my hand since the age of nine, so I believe photojournalism chose me before I chose it.Tumblr (3.0; @jalanshaw)http://jalanshaw.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/9d9f53b5e896245f8db0e54d69c800e7/tumblr_mn6gzxY09A1qbh5vmo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7af135a4c8611ef47ad10904771dd834/tumblr_mn6gzxY09A1qbh5vmo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1be9cf1a25edabdc40993a569657ba24/tumblr_mn6gzxY09A1qbh5vmo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8a6abe594ada0ba91643a5700ddd8bfe/tumblr_mn6gzxY09A1qbh5vmo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/45797005e467c953b7f15798e644ff55/tumblr_mn6gzxY09A1qbh5vmo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/261abc44d641c54f575d99d319aeff23/tumblr_mn6gzxY09A1qbh5vmo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Formally a sushi restaurant, Bar DKDC offers culinary entrees from around the globe six weeks at a time. “I didn’t want my kitchen staff to be bored so we change it up”, said owner Karen Carrier.
