The day of the cow at the Elkhart County 4-H Fair
My paper was in need of A1 wild art again today so I was able to convince my editor to let me drive over to Goshen, Ind. for the Elkhart County Fair.

Mishawaka Horseshoe Pitching Club
I had the opportunity last week to photograph a very neat assignment: a group of old-timers who gather weekly to pitch horseshoes in Mishawaka. More than it’s a competition, it’s a social event for the folks who trek from as far as Edwardsburg, Mich. to partake in the pitching. I really enjoy shooting community assignments like this. Often I don’t have much time to spend at an assignment, but luckily I was able to spend some time talking with and photographing the club members. This was probably one of my favorite assignments of the year.

Julia Frick
A couple weeks back, I photographed Julia Frick, a local women who adopted two children she had cared for as a foster parent. The images were part of the Tribune’s ongoing investigation and coverage of the Indiana Department of Child Services.
