I was pretty desperate for a feature on Thursday. We’ve had some unseasonably warm temperatures in South Bend as of late so I wanted to shoot some people out and about. Luckily my fellow button-pusher Robert Franklin mentioned that the local kayaking club was planning on taking to a stretch of river in downtown. Three members made runs down the river, and I got a few decent action shots of them hitting some waves along the way. One frame from that ran on the front page of Friday’s Tribune, but I liked this frame better as a sort of juxtapose. Hopefully I’ll get another feature out of them before fall, but I imagine I’ll have to avoid kayaking features for a few weeks now.
