June in Photos

It’s the doggiest of dog days so far this June and it’s been mostly quiet in Green Bay. Packers training camp will be ramping up in the coming weeks and I suppose the end of June is sort of the quiet before the storm.

Graduaballgennews-athon

It’s been a grind-it-out last few weeks with numerous graduations, baseball games and pre-summer general news events. Here’s some of my favorites that stood out from the rest of the noise.

Learning Under Fire

(First off, sorry for that headline pun, I just had to do it.) I kind of blew it yesterday. Unlike other mistakes I’ve made as a photojournalist, I doubt many people will notice. But the lapse in thinking still bothers me. Yesterday around 11 I got word of an apartment complex fire in the nearby […]

Cellcom Green Bay Marathon 2013

Got to enjoy some of that nice morning light early today while covering the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. If only all news events happened between the hours of 5:45am-8 and 6pm-8, life for photographers would be great. Here some of my favorites: You can find the rest of the gallery here

Mifflin Street Block Party 2013 in photos

Soglin did it. He crushed Mifflin. Not only was this year the worst attended Mifflin, but also the quietest and most well-behaved I’ve ever seen. If it weren’t for the late afternoon sunshine, I doubt even a thousand people would have shown up. Contrast that to the 20,000 who showed up 2 and 3 years […]

Packers NFL Draft 2013

When I was assigned the NFL draft party at Lambeau, I got excited to get creative. Sometimes events where there are lots of people pumped about one particular thing can lead to some nice candid moments. But, as is often common, what I imagined the NFL draft party to be and what it was were […]

Brewers Home Opener

Wisconsinites don’t seem to need many reasons to sit outside and tailgate in barely above-freezing temperatures. And when you give them reasons like the Brewers home opener, people get kind of crazy. I’ve never been to opening day for any baseball team. I’ve only heard stories about the crazy fans in the parking lot before […]

March in Photos

March has been a nice change of pace month for me—I began the month traversing across northern Minnesota and Upper Michigan to work on a story comparing iron mining in surrounding states, then found myself shooting lots of state basketball, a couple sports portraits and then environmental portraits here and there. March was fun but […]

Barn Burner

As a photojournalist there are only a small handful of outcomes when arriving at the scene of a fire. The fire is totally burned out and there is nothing left to shoot. The fire is still burning. The fire is still burning, but the fire department won’t let you anywhere near it. Those were the […]

Donald Driver Retires

Sportswriters commonly say that no professional sports team means more to their fans than the Green Bay Packers. Today, while covering Donald Driver’s retirement ceremony at Lambeau Field, I was struck by the emotion from Driver, his coaches, teammates and, most of all, his fans. Over a thousand fans waited over an hour in sub-zero […]
