Since moving back to South Bend, I’ve made a couple trips up to Silver Beach in St. Joseph, Mich. This was thanks in part to the unseasonably warm weather we’ve had. Also, the town is one of my favorite places on earth.

A couple weeks back, I photographed Julia Frick, a local women who adopted two children she had cared for as a foster parent. The images were part of the Tribune’s ongoing investigation and coverage of the Indiana Department of Child Services.


Spent a good chunk of time on Saturday shooting Miss-N-Out, one of the spring series events in the lead up to Indiana University’s Little 500. I shot most of the day primarily with a very cheap plastic medium format camera, but I also shot some stuff using my normal cameras. It was nice to be back in Bloomington, especially on a weekend featuring a Little 500 spring series event. I somewhat miss covering the crazy week leading up to the event and the races themselves.




I got pulled off a morning assignment and re-routed to the mayor’s office for a news conference introducing – well, actually re-introducing – Chuck Hurley as the interim South Bend Police Department police chief. He is a former chief. This all comes after the mayor announced the resignation of the former chief, Darryl Boykins, following a federal investigation into wiretapping procedures by the police department.
