It’s hard to be pessimistic about my job when I get to shoot something new every day. My favorite photo mantra is about how a photographer’s favorite assignment is his next one. Sure, some days are better than others, but at least every day is different. Here’s a random selection from the past few weeks.
Students in the building trades program at the Ohio Hi-Point Career School, from left, Brandon Schwyn, Trey Bowersmith and John Baesmann lower tools down to project supervisor Ben Ludlow at the end of the work day on March 11. The students are working with UCo Industries to build a home that will be donated to a Union County family.
Washington Elementary fifth graders, from left, Scott Morris, Garrett Askew and Luke Seman perform “On Top of Old Smokey” using IBC root beer bottles filled with varying amounts of water during a practice before school on Feb. 26. The trio will compete against other grades at the school on March 5. The winner of that competition will face bottle musicians from other schools in the district.
Since being diagnosed with kidney disease just before his twenty first birthday, Youth Needing Organ & Tissue Transplants founder Edward Drake, now 23, has assisted nearly 500 kids during their quest for new organs. The Toledo native started YNOTT in order to raise awareness about becoming organ and tissue donors and to provide support for those in need of a donation.
Otterbein College security officer Chase Rogers writes a parking ticket outside the Campus Center building on March 10. Otterbein is in the process of turning their security force into sworn-in police officers.
Gary Carter clips the hair of Pickerington resident Shawn Wuertz on March 19. Carter, owner of Reynoldsburg Center Barber Shop, is hanging up his sheers after 35 years in the hair cutting business.
In order to raise awareness for multiple sclerosis, the National MS Society arranged for LeVeque Tower and the AEP headquarters in downtown Columbus to light up orange.
And last, but not least, I chuckled as I followed these two pooches enjoying the spring breeze…
