Ryan and Obama visit Wisconsin…again

Wisconsin is making it rain politicians right now. They are everywhere. In just the past couple weeks Green Bay has seen the current president, former president, vice presidential candidates and candidates’ wives or sons all campaign through town to fire up their supporters one last time before Election Day. Although after covering all these campaign […]

Bill Clinton, Pumpkins and Severed Heads

Sort of hit that weird lull the last few weeks where I’m not really liking anything I’ve shot lately, just kind of grinding away. For the sake of not getting complacent in my work, here’s some of my photos over the last few weeks. Sort of […]

The Squirrel Lady

Squirrels make terrible pets. At least, that’s what Terri Gay says. Terri is a volunteer with the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary, where her main duties are helping rehab young orphaned squirrels. She also works with possums, raccoons, coyotes and, once, a cougar. I photographed Terri in her home in Suamico, a town just north of Green Bay. It […]

Rural Population Loss in Wisconsin

Back in July a reporter, Mario Koran, and myself wandered around northern and central Wisconsin working on a story about why young people are leaving small towns in Wisconsin. Today, after months of fine-tuning all elements of the story, I’m proud to say it is published. The concept of rural population loss is something that […]

Fall Colors in Green Bay

Maybe it is because I’ve never been in northeastern Wisconsin during fall, but this might be the most beautiful fall I’ve ever witnessed. Luckily for me yesterday, I got to go wander around and take photos of the fall colors before they disappear in the next few days. To see the full collection, see my […]

Packers vs. Saints

One of the first things college quarterbacks always say about the NFL is how much faster the game is compared to college. Well, it’s also that much faster for the photographers. And it’s something I’m still getting used to on the sidelines. Growing up looking at the photos in Sports Illustrated, I sort of got used […]

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Forget Christmas. The most wonderful time of the year is fall. And I’ve decided there is nowhere better for fall than Wisconsin. Driving to assignments I can barely keep my eyes on the road with the beautiful scenery surrounding me. Covering a cross country meet yesterday evening felt like the photo-planets had aligned just for […]

Settling In

Already about to start my fourth week at the Press Gazette. Time has been flying. Here are some photos I liked from the past two weeks and how they ran in the paper. As always, thanks for looking!

Week One Wrap-Up

It all began with a house fire. I thought my first day at the Green Bay Press Gazette would be full of paperwork and note-taking, but instead, on my way home for lunch, I photographed a house fire. I more or less stumbled across the fire after I saw a firetruck speeding down […]

Ryan’s Homecoming

The political attention of the nation is once again upon Wisconsin. Even though Paul Ryan has been at the center of various national debates over the years, his vice presidential nomination is on a much bigger scale. Covering his speech today—or as the Romney campaign titled it, “Paul Ryan’s Convention Send-Off Rally”—in Janesville was a […]
