So, today I went to the State Trap Shoot competition in Elysburg today. I wish I had more then twenty minutes to be there but I think I'm going back later this week to hopefully find a little gem.

Worst toilet in Scotland.

Today has been a portrait day for me here's a little sample.

These are a few of the only people to beat a freight train.

Just a guy staring at a torching building.

Working on a story about where people in my area stand on Christianity so this morning I went to the Revival Tabernacle.

Joao Pedro Wilshusen lives with Asbergers a form of autism.

Fence this

A few frames from the PA State Swimming Championships.

I should introduce you to Spencer Myers of Selinsgrove. He was the reason that I had to stay at the state wrestling championships late every night. At first I didn't like the idea but after I got to know Spencer and I learned how much covering him and the state title meant to him I through away my selfishness and had fun covering him. The last day I got to see him at his highest and lowest moment. In his match for state title he suffered a knee injury and lost to a kid he could of easily beaten, Spencer deserved to win, in my book he won the state title.

It's state wrestling time again, here is a few of my favorite frames from the first two days. Only one more to go!!!

Basketball season is coming to an end, and I can't wait for baseball to start.

Just a few frames when I got to photograph brain surgery at Geisinger Medical Center last week. I only had a few minutes in the OR because the PR rep started to look a little nausea.

These folks are celebrating the birth of the Scottish poet Robert Burns with haggis and whiskey.

This guy is proud of his smoke free bowling alley.

This guy loves his falcons.

Shot from the first fire I was at with a fatality, it's a firefighter searching the home.

This was by far the worst fire I've scene up close.

I had to step back a little for this one. I just thought is was a surreal scene. How do you run into the back of a stationary tractor trailer that is 70 some feet away from the road?

I got to play with pills this morning, and the strobe kit that was hidden in a back room.

It's the first day of rifle season in PA, lots of blood and guts.

This is from awhile ago, nothing special just bored at work.

It is a boring slow day so here's a photo of my shoe.

This is what happens when you land on your face.

Meet Sierra she suffers from brittle bones disease, while shooting this little piece for our health section, I realized that there is more of a story to tell. The family is not financial sound and need help to take of her, so I'm going back to spend some days with them so more will come of this then the 15 minutes that I got to spend with them today.

Only four more days, and a week of whining afterwards, I can't wait!!!

This kid loves running cross country and is pretty good at it.

This is what I do when the Attorney General visits the area to talk about breaking up a drug ring and I get bored 2 minutes into it.

Went to haunted house last night. It must of been the best one that I'd been in so far. p.s. it's really tough to make an image in the complete dark.

It's been a long time since my last post. However, I'll start posting more once I get settled in my new surrondings, but here are some shots when Arlen came to town today.

This was by far the scariest and most real situation that I was placed in so far as a journalist. I was out feature hunting and found a man digging in his garden. After about 5 minutes with him without any warning or signs he collapsed to the ground due to a heart attack. While waiting for the paramedics to show up I felt completly helpless while he was laying on the ground, there was nothing I could for him except wait for help. However he is fine now, and put life into a different perspective for me.

Just a few frames from weddings this year

Lawn mowers at their best...

Good bye baseball, I'll see you next spring (tear) :(

He's the trout master!!!

I spent last night covering a Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra concert during Carlisle's Summerfair.

I found a little gem while shooting a restaurant review, you got to love Country Jam Sessions

i did some firefighter portraits today for my everyday people assignment here's one that I liked...

Here is some everyday people from today...

The confederacy took over the town next to mine for a few days... but according to some belt buckles they will rise again...

Today I went to the ballet....

Meet Doug Novinger he finally graduated high school after 21 years. The paper I work for is doing a story on an adult with mental disabilities graduating high school. It sucks that I only got to photograph the graduation, I would of loved to of spent more time with him in class, at home, etc... but here is what I got.

This is a little start of a story that I'm going to be working on about the Diakon Youth Services Wilderness Center, outside of Boiling Springs, PA. It's a place that teaches troubled youth that were sent there through a court order,(instead of going to juvenile hall) life skills such as carpentry, horticulture and culinary arts. However, some of the that kids are sent take part in a wilderness program were they go off into the woods for 30 days with a instructor and live off the land, then left alone for 2 days.( I can't wait for that to happen, great photos to take place) Right now, the place is starting to get permission from the judges and parents to have the kids identified, so there will be more to come instead of two cheesy shots of the instructors.

Last night I went to the circus and it truly was the greatest show on earth.
