The worse the weather gets, the more a photojournalist has to be out in it. This season has been no exception to that rule. There have been days where I was wearing so many layers, it made it difficult to move. There have been days where my pen froze while I was trying to take notes.

Yesterday before I went to shoot the sectional championship football game between the Hagerstown Tigers and the Knightstown […]
For those of you that don’t already know, I am a week in to my new job. I am the new Chief Photographer and Photo Editor at The Courier-Times in New Castle, IN. The job comes with perks. I love the challenge of making an interesting photo, no matter the situation. That is something I had to do my first day on the job. The town is building a Mr. Fuel gas station right off the interstate. I guess I […]
