Last week I photographed the Jamfest Mega Jam at the Peoria Civic Center.

EAW XXIV
"Pictures have beginnings, but not ends"- Eugene Richards
Words spoken on the first night of a weekend that I believe marks a true beginning in my life.
Every year Alyssa and August Adams graciously open up their home to 100 new members of the Adams family... along with incredible speakers, team leaders, producers, editors, and volunteers on the black and white teams; the barn is filled to the brim and then some.
Whether it was getting to know another student, listening to a speaker or working with any of the incredible faculty; every moment was a learning experience at Eddie Adams. I got to meet people I have looked up to for years and be exposed to new work and ideas I wouldn't have seen otherwise. Most importantly, I was reminded how important the photojournalism community is today. We are lucky to be apart of a giant family of creative intelligent beautiful people.
I was incredibly lucky to work with 5 badass female photojournalists who guided my team through the theme of family. Carolyn, Melissa, Elizabeth, Nancy and Amanda-Thank you so much for you guidance, support and laughter throughout the weekend. Thank you to team orange for being so awesome! Also thank you to Alyssa and August Adams for allowing us into your home.
I also really enjoyed working on my story over the weekend and getting to know Moriah, Diane, Crystalee and Jylissa. Thank you for letting me into your lives and telling your story. In my personal life following EAW I have been challenged to understand what family means, but looking through my photos I am quickly reminded by the Beattie-Redling family.
Moriah and Diane adopted Crystalee and Jylissa after living with them in foster care. I spent the first day with the family as they prepared for Crystalee's confirmation service and the second day around the house. The conversations I had with Diane and Moriah are some of my favorite parts of EAW. The selection of photos isn't my complete story edit-but for now some of my favorite photos from the project.

Hanging in there...
I took this photo a couple weeks while photographing
an assignment about unpaid bills in Peoria for the Bright Futures program.
I'm working on making a post about EAW right now and trying to figure out some things in my life.
So for now, I'm hanging in there...

A little info.
- Eve Edelheit
- I am recent graduate of the University of Missouri, majoring in photojournalism. Right now, I am a photo intern at The Dallas Morning News. Last year, I attended the Danish School of Media and Journalism in the International Photojournalism program. I love the journey of working on a photo story, the destination is never what was predicted.
