Had a busy couple of days covering the city’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities. My schedule consisted of a 4-12 shift followed by a 9-6 meaning I was running on fumes by the end of my shooting on Saturday afternoon. Crazy couple of days, but I would much rather be crazy busy than bored sitting around the office any day.
At the airport today looking for photos of passengers, I found a neat new vantage point overlooking an area near the ticket counters.
Earlier this week, I took a drive over to Michigan City, Ind. to hang out in a swamp with a class of sixth graders studying Environmental Science. Pretty cool, right? It was one of those somewhat rare moments as a photojournalist where you pinch yourself and ask, “Do I really get paid to do this for a living?” The pictures might not reflect my enthusiasm until you consider my usual Monday: waiting around in the office and building mugs. Walking around in the woods making pictures beats sitting in the office any day in my book. The reason I was there was to get a hands-on look at what an Environmental Science magnet school looks like for a story about a South Bend school considering becoming one.

Back in January, I spent a day hanging out with Niel Makielski. Niel is legally blind after losing his vision to macular degeneration, but has a very elaborate home woodworking shop in his basement where he works on projects ranging from watch stands to full home entertainment centers. After losing most of his vision, Niel developed a very unique and interesting workflow to allow him to accurately measure pieces of wood and find tools.
