Notre Dame defeats Purdue 20-17

September 9, 2012

I photographed my first-ever Notre Dame home football game on Saturday. I’ve heard that it’s quite an experience and it lived up to it. Not since I shot Indiana basketball in college have I seen such tradition and pageantry on display. I have to admit I was a bit rusty on the action this first game as I haven’t shot much sports lately. However, I think I’ll get back in the swing of things starting next Saturday at Michigan State. Stay tuned and thanks for looking.

Rabbits at Berrien County Youth Fair

August 13, 2012

I spent my morning in Berrien Springs, Mich. for the county’s youth fair. The writer and I decided to cover the rabbit show after the event we originally had planned to cover turned out to not be until Thursday morning. I haven’t had the chance to cover very many county fairs this summer, but I’ve enjoyed the rare opportunity to wear my cowboy boots in public.
