  • Using a 300 mm lens, I was able to capture incredible detail in the underside of this eagle.
  • Responding to a phone call about eagles near the Cicott Street bridge, I arrived to find these two standing on the ice in the river, feasting on a fish. They saw me and split up. I followed one across the bridge, found him in a sycamore tree, and shot the next photo as he was leaving me again.
  • Matt McKay hit a game winning grand slam and was greeted by his teammates as he crossed home plate. The expressions on the faces of the players summed up the whole game. Sometimes the best action shot is a reaction.
  • Sometimes the picture is what it is because of the story that goes with it. This is one of those. Abe Price survived being imprisoned in a Nazi death camp. In this photograph, the tattooed number is still visible on his left arm. He wanted to make sure the picutre of his late wife was also visible in the photo. She was also a Holocaust survivor. In his 80's, he tells his story over and over to the media and school children. Doing his part to make sure we never forget what we are capable of. This is a story, and he is a man that I will not forget.
  • My reason for picking this one is not because it is the best athlete of the week photo I have taken. In the 6 years I have been photographing an athlete each week, evertime I photograph a basketball player, I always ask.."can you spin the ball on one finger?" Some try, most say no. Joel is the only one who has been able to do it long enough for me to get a picture!
  • Taking the photo of the Pet of the Week at the Cass County Animal Shelter each week is something I look forward to. I have taken many really cute photographs that I hope helps them find a good home. This is my favorite one from this year.
  • Having a good rapport with the fire department has it's advantages. I was invited to photogrpah one of their training sessions inside a special trailer. There were burners and ignitors to simulate a house fire. The firefighters allowed me to enter the trailer (wearing portective fire gear, of course) and photograph them during this training. Logansport firefighters Rex Danley and Jim Porter work to douse the flames in a simulated house fire within the Mobile Live Fire Trainer. Special effects available enclude a condition called flashover, where the flames shoot across the ceiling.
  • I do enjoy it when I am told "we need a picture to go with this story...any ideas?" This was one of those pictures. We needed a picture to go with a story for Halloween about local hauntings. My friend and model, Geanie Wilson brought along some clothes and props she thought might work for us. The special effects were done in camera witha long exposure time, meaning Geanie had to hold still for long periods of time and for repeated attempts at getting this shot.
  • I love it when, as a photographer, I can be the eyes of our community. This is a moment that very few people would have been able to see otherwise. The Mayor of Mibu Town in Japan reaches for the brass ring during a carousel ride at Riverside Park.
  • Fires are never good. But sometimes a picture presents itself that shows just how brave our firefighters are and what they endure. This was the warehouse fire in Monticello.
  • The Twleve Mile lawmnower race if one of my favortie events to photograph each year. It is especially fun when rain is involved. This picture really sums up this past year's event.
  • I like this photo because it is one of those that just makes you smile. The person who was holding the bowl had paused to say something to me, and the squirrel got impatient and decided to help himself. This was at the Wildcat Creek Wildlife Center.
