I rarely cover track and field. Tuesday might have been only my third or fourth high school track meet ever. I’m usually not a fan because the meets often lack numbers that correspond to a roster, making it hard to tell who is who. However, this one – a sectional – didn’t, freeing me up to shoot a larger variety of events than I normally would. Since I haven’t shot it much, I’m not the greatest at it, but it was nice to get out of the big city to go play with some good evening light.

Last month, I spent part of a day photographing Greg Gaver for a series of stories in the South Bend Tribune. Greg suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder that stems from an abnormality of the 15th chromosome. The disorder has several symptoms, but the most prevalent is a constant sense of hunger. If unchecked, this can lead to binge eating and disorders associated with it such as diabetes and extreme obesity. Caregivers – oftentimes parents – must keep ever-present control of food for people with PWS, meaning that food pantries and refrigerators are often kept locked. To illustrate the story, I photographed Greg along with another family in Michiana (which I will post soon as well). I appreciated Greg and his family’s openness to allow me to photograph him for the story, and I hope our series helped to shine a light on the disorder.

Greg Gaver walks on a treadmill in his family's basement on Wednesday, April 25, 2012, in Granger. Gaver, 21, usually exercises everyday for 30 minutes to help with his Prader-Willi Syndrome, which makes him have an intense craving for food. If not kept in check, the syndrome can lead to extreme binge eating and obesity related conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, according to the Mayo Clinic. (James Brosher/South Bend Tribune)

I had the opportunity last week to photograph the South Bend Roller Girls as they prepared for an upcoming bout. Despite the darkness at the rink, I was able to make some frames I was happy with. Since it was so dark and I didn’t want to strobe the arena, I worked a lot of pan shots and used my faster glass for the wide shots when they weren’t skating.
Candice Mansfield, "Candi-Land Massacre," makes her way through a turn as she takes part in a drill as a jammer during South Bend Roller Girls practice on Thursday, April 12, 2012, at USA Skate Center in Mishawaka. In roller derby, the jammer is the only person who can score points. Jammers, who wear stars on their helmets, get a point for each opponent passed during passes through the pack. Mansfield is a debt collector away from the rink. (James Brosher/South Bend Tribune)

Hoyt, known as "Hoytie Toity," helped organize the team two years ago when she posted to her Facebook asking if any of her friends were interested in starting a derby team.
