This is a portrait I shot for the Tribune as part of a series of stories marking the tenth anniversary of the Bertrand Products shootings. Tina Tabler narrowly escaped death when she was shot twice by a co-worker on a shooting spree at the factory in 2002. William Lockey, a 54-year-old shipping clerk, killed four and critically injured Tabler and another co-worker.

Huntington North semistates
I spent Saturday afternoon photographing the Huntington North Class 3A and 4A semistates for the Tribune. We had a couple local teams hoping to punch tickets to the state finals, but both teams – Mishawaka Marian and Elkhart Memorial – lost. It appears I might be bad luck. The gym was dark and had a green glow about it that I can only assume was cranked up for St. Patrick’s Day. The amazing food in hospitality room left me speechless and made up for the cave-like light illuminating the gymnasium.

In South Bend, the people here take St. Patrick’s Day very seriously. So seriously that I need to remind myself to check later to see if I get holiday pay for working on Saturday. On Thursday some of the preparations started for what should be a fun weekend in South Bend although I’ll be down in Huntington, Ind. shooting a couple semi-state basketball games. Alas, I will miss out on festivities such as the little leprechaun contest.
