George Stelluto conducts first Peoria Symphony Orchestra concert

I had the privileged this evening of photographing the Peoria Symphony Orchestra as they opened their season with a new conductor, George Stelluto. The orchestra’s public relations guy was extremely helpful, getting me back stage before the performance to get a shot of the maestro as he was preparing to walk out for his first performance with the orchestra (first and third photos). I absolutely love it when I get this kind of access, and it makes for better photos about 98 percent of the time.

Muddy truck

To say this is a muddy truck is a bit of an understatement. This is hands down the muddiest truck I have ever seen. When the mud is so bad it blocks your visibility forcing you to look out a window, that’s bad. This was a feature I shot out at Peoria Speedway this evening while I was working on a profile of a local driver. It rained quite a bit today making the track a sloppy mess, and this truck was one of several to take laps on the track in an effort to pack down the mud to make the track ready for the race.

Jim Patterson looks out his driver side window to see as he uses a truck to mash down mud on the track on Saturday, Sept. 18, 2010, at Peoria Speedway. Rain throughout the day made the track too sloppy for racing, forcing some drivers to use their pick ups to help dry and smooth out the track.
