Foggy Morning

The other day early morning fog had froze on tree branches, fences, and other plant life. So being the photographer I am, I grab my camera and went hunting.

Here are just a few photos from Monday

Enjoy

New Year's Classic Action

Traveled to Mackey Arena last Saturday afternoon, for the SuperHoops New Year's Classic.

In the first game Huntington North played Triton, while the second game action saw Peru play Marion.

Normally this would be just one game for me to cover, with Peru and Marion there as well, I had to shoot for the Peru Tribune and Marion Chronicle as well.

The Huntington North game was a bit of a sleeper game. Triton brought their best game to the floor. Huntington on the other hand, I think just didn't play to their potential.

The second game pitted Peru v. Marion. What a great game. Peru has only lost one game in this early season. I think that they have the best defensive team that I've seen around.

Below are just a few of the photos from this past weekend games. Enjoy!!!!

Next are some Peru v. Marion photos.

Basketball again in historical Tig-Arena

Not since the early 90's has there been a Peru High School basketball game in old historical Tig-Arena.

Last Friday evening the Peru High School boys hosted the Wabash Apaches in the old gym for the first varsity basketball contest in many years.

The atmosphere was great. There was not a seat to be found in the old gym. What a great evening.

Here are just a few of the photos that I shot during the evening.

Extreme Home Makeover

With all of the hype over about the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, I thought I would post/blog about the whole experience.

Peru Tribune reporter Sherry Loshowsky and I previous covered the fundraising that Kori had been doing. I was somewhat familiar with the family but not as familiar that I would have liked to be.

It all started on Wednesday Oct. 21 with the door knock at the Cowan-Brown home in southern Miami County. Which the door knock was a long waiting period. I was looking forward to shooting the construction of the home, although knowing that the access was going to be somewhat limited.

After several days of rain, Sunday afternoon I finally decided to travel out to the site to photograph the construction. After waiting in line at the base for half an hour I made it to the muddy site. Grab my credential, hard hat off to the site, in the ankle deep mud. My first thought before shooting photos, wow this house to pretty neat.

After taking a few photos, walking around the house one time, I stopped to pause and check out the action. I guess that pause should have not been taken. I was told that I had to be on the other side of the road and was not allow to shoot photos of the construction. That left a bad taste in my mouth. So, I packed up my gear and left for the day after only being on site for a hour and a half. Time well spent!!!!!

Fast forward to Tuesday the day of the reveal. I got to the site about 10 a.m., this day was much better than Sunday. Tuesday I was able to walk around the whole house and grounds and shoot photos without any questions. This made up for what happened on Sunday. I was able to get some photos that were much better than Sunday.

The whole experience for Bunker Hill/Miami County was a great one.

Blake and Katie Elliott

The second wedding was shot in Huntington, Ind at Trinity United Methodist Church. The happy couple were Blake and Katie. Two great people to work with and for.

This was the first wedding that I've shot in Huntington. Thanks to Katie's mom, June for letting spend the day and evening photographing their wedding.

I enjoyed myself and think that I was able to get some nice images from their special day.

Two more weddings in October and I will be able to relax a little.

Mike and Holly Dalton

Haven't update with anything from my daily job, so I thought I would update with two weddings that I've shot the last couple of weeks.

Mike and Holly Dalton were married Sept. 5 at St. John's Lutheran Church. Here are a couple of photos from the wedding.

Another Night Glow!!!!!!

Family and I traveled to Plymouth last Sunday to check out the Blueberry Festival. I understand that the festival has been a part of Plymouth for many years. In the short amout of time that we were there, we really enjoyed ourselves.

Once again, had the chance to shoot a hot air balloon night glow. This is the second glow in just about as many months. It was just as neat the second time as the first. The colors of the balloons, that fire of the burners and the amount of balloons made for some neat pictures.

I hope that I will have the chance to shoot another night glow again. It is really neat. Maybe I will go to the Blueberry Festival again next year.
