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.

Love the look on the bored guy's face on the left.

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.

Sometimes assignments are scenic and simple.

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.
