Volleyball: The end of the season

One of the local powerhouse volleyball teams is Shenandoah High School. They have been destroying many teams all season long. Last night, they were in the regional tournament against Muncie Burris who has had 92 consecutive tournament wins and 13 consecutive state championship victories. One tough opponent. Shenandoah fought hard but ultimately lost to Muncie Burris in three straight sets. Here are a few shots from the night. The girls from Muncie Burris were absolutely crushing their spikes. This one […]

A days work

A day in the life of a photojournalist. Some days are slow. Many are non-stop. Assignments can be spontaneous and range in topics. That keeps the job interesting. Yesterday was no exception.

Friday night football

Football season is in full swing. By game time these last few Friday nights, the temperature is hovering in the low 60s. I’m loving every minute of it. This last weekend, one of our county schools, Knightstown, was facing their rival of Eastern Hancock. It was a blow-out in Knightstown’s favor. 41-6. As the season goes on, the sun is setting earlier and earlier which means I continue to crank up the ISO. Cropping in from my 200mm starts to […]
