This is the completed final project for my Staff Photojournalism class. I had grand ideas for a final project this semester but because of time constraints and a contacts falling through, I was forced to rush for story. Luckily, I ran into Mark Anderson, a street sweeper for The District area of downtown Columbia. He has turned his job into one big networking opportunity. He knows just about every single person in Columbia. I wanted to tell the story of how his job is much more that just sweeping the sidewalks. Like he told me the first day I met him, “This job is less about sweeping and more about going around and messing with people.”
