I spent Sunday in Chicago photographing the protest and march during the 2012 NATO Summit there. Unfortunately, I left before things got ugly following a rally at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Cermak Road, just west of McCormick Place where the summit is being held. Until Sunday, I had never shot a protest so large in size. I tried to use it as a learning experience, making a couple decent shots along the way and meeting a few well-known shooters as well.

I rarely cover track and field. Tuesday might have been only my third or fourth high school track meet ever. I’m usually not a fan because the meets often lack numbers that correspond to a roster, making it hard to tell who is who. However, this one – a sectional – didn’t, freeing me up to shoot a larger variety of events than I normally would. Since I haven’t shot it much, I’m not the greatest at it, but it was nice to get out of the big city to go play with some good evening light.
Last month, I spent part of a day photographing Greg Gaver for a series of stories in the South Bend Tribune. Greg suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder that stems from an abnormality of the 15th chromosome. The disorder has several symptoms, but the most prevalent is a constant sense of hunger. If unchecked, this can lead to binge eating and disorders associated with it such as diabetes and extreme obesity. Caregivers – oftentimes parents – must keep ever-present control of food for people with PWS, meaning that food pantries and refrigerators are often kept locked. To illustrate the story, I photographed Greg along with another family in Michiana (which I will post soon as well). I appreciated Greg and his family’s openness to allow me to photograph him for the story, and I hope our series helped to shine a light on the disorder.
