Fifth graders learn about government at the Wyoming State Capitol

Micaela Heigis, left, points to a belt that she didn't like as part of Katie Mugg's outfit as a conference committee of fifth graders from Arp Elementary debate a bill dress code for teachers on Tuesday, April 26, 2011, on the floor of the House chambers in the Wyoming State Capitol. The youngsters passed a dress code for Mugg, a tutor at the school, and each change represented an amendment to the bill. The overall dress coded failed to pass because the fifth graders on the House side didn't like Mugg's orange safety vest.

Holga frames from Wyoming

This weekend I finally got the first two rolls of film from Wyoming processed and scanned. I’ve been a bit off my game since I moved out because I’ve only shot two rolls. Now that I’m starting to get settled in at my new gig here, I’m hoping to shoot more using my Holga. I’ve gotten into the habit of keeping it in my truck at all times, and I bought a second body so I can have two different types of film ready depending on the weather and exposure outside. I made some modifications to the Holga before loading the second roll. I removed the 6×6 mask inside the camera to allow for increased vignetting and a more imperfect picture. You can see the results of this in the edges of the third frame below.

Ready, set, Easter

I shot a couple Easter egg hunts on Saturday morning for Sunday’s Easter newspaper. I had never photographed one before, and I found it a bit challenging. The kids tend to scoop up all the eggs very quickly, meaning you have to work very fast to get them in the act. After two hunts, this was my best frame from the morning:

Youngsters react as they run into the Children's Village at the Botanic Gardens for an Easter egg hunt on Saturday, April 23, 2011, in Lion's Park. Workers opened the gates at 11 a.m. to a stampede of children who cleared the park of Easter eggs within five minutes.
