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.
I photographed a local WWII re-enactment back in June on a Lake Michigan beach. Primarily I shot using two DSLRs, but I managed to sneak in a few frames here and there using my Holga. Originally I had planned to use my Rolleiflex, but alas it remains a $220 paperweight on my bookshelf after a camera strap failure lead to its early demise during a May trip to Chicago.
I had the opportunity last week to photograph a very neat assignment: a group of old-timers who gather weekly to pitch horseshoes in Mishawaka. More than it’s a competition, it’s a social event for the folks who trek from as far as Edwardsburg, Mich. to partake in the pitching. I really enjoy shooting community assignments like this. Often I don’t have much time to spend at an assignment, but luckily I was able to spend some time talking with and photographing the club members. This was probably one of my favorite assignments of the year.
Last week, Terry Sturgis was sentenced to 140 years for the murder of his 10-year-old son.
Spent Father’s Day hanging out with my dad as he helped host a car show with his car club down in Kokomo, Indiana. Didn’t shoot much, but after the show was over got a frame of dad relaxing after a long day in the heat. I’ll make sure to put this picture on his Father’s Day card next year.
