Schattenspiel

While I was photographing a rehearsal of a production of “Noises Off,” I noticed an interesting series of shadows being cast on the wall by Rory Mack, who plays the actor Garry LeJeune in the play.

Alone in the Senate

While I was feature hunting today, I stopped by the Wyoming State Capitol to photograph renovations taking place on the South entrance. I ended up inside looking for a window to shoot out of downwards. I noticed that the Senate gallery door was open so I stepped inside to see if maybe a janitor might be inside. Instead, I spotted one of the senators working quietly at his desk.

District superintendent teaches kindergarten class

Aspen Rewerts, right, a kindergarten student at Jessup Elementary, reacts before hugging Mark Stock, superintendent of Laramie County School District No. 1, after Stock checked her work before recess on Thursday, March 24, 2011, at the school. Stock was teaching in place of Kathleen Blaes-Garcia for the day after Blaes-Garcia won a contest for donating to the Cheyenne School Foundation. "It's been refreshing," said Stock, who taught third and sixth graders for eight years before becoming an administrator.

Henna tattooing

In the few months that I’ve been here, I’ve learned one thing: the Laramie County library in Cheyenne is awesome. It’s probably the nicest library I’ve seen and it holds a ton of events every month that are feature-worthy for the newspaper. Everyday, we have two spots in the paper for features that we must fill. Today I had to fill both spots and work the desk at night. Luckily for me, the library was holding a henna tattooing deal for teens in one of the library’s lounges. I like trying to find little moments in community events like this.

Several teens stopped by the library's teen lounge to get a tattoo after donating a penny to Pennies for Peace.
