open-mic stand up
Open mic stand-up comedy happens on Thursday nights at Gruben's Uptown Tap, located in Downtown Plainfield
math ambassador
This kid manages to juggle being a math whiz and looking like Harry Potter at the same time.
food donater
For her birthday, instead of gifts, this girl asked for people to give her foodstuffs and staples she could then donate to the local pantry. I never would've thought of that as a kid.
river guy
This guy in Niles has the local river/woods named after him, and he's been lording over the welfare of both forever, apparently. Nice guy.
gallery reception
I always feel a bit weird photographing gallery receptions for photography exhibits.
St. Baldricks
St. Baldricks apparently happens around St. Patrick's Day (this year was my first exposure to it), and it centers around getting your head shaved for charity, I guess. This guy doesn't seem too sure about it, though.
parade route
While shooting a parade, I came across these people and this house, and for whatever reason, I just liked the way it looked.
Olympic Medalist
Lisa Chesson, silver medalist in Vancouver for the US Women's Hockey team, was brought to her nephew's school as his show-and-tell object for the day, which instantly made all of the other kids' offerings pale in comparison.
budget meeting
I was supposed to photograph this guy in his office (which is in danger of losing a considerable amount of funding if changes are made to the Niles budget), but he declined at the last minute because he didn't want it to seem like he was aggressively campaigning for his office to retain funding. However, during a budget "workshop" later that day, he stated the case for his office anyway, and I still got his photograph. Weird little turn of events.
fish face

stained glass in Niles
Was sent to photograph a group of students working on some stained glass...it turned out to be kids painting the windows, which wasn't exactly what I was looking for.This pseudo-silhouette of kids walking down the hall past the windows made up for it.
