Joke Feech, Real Feech

Jeff Smith, the photo editor at CM-Life, asked if I could shoot a feature for the paper. But it was raining, so I had no inclination to do go out and find a one. So, I was chatting with Eric Dresden, the EIC, and we decided to shoot a joke feature, and then turn it in the system. Here's the photo.



And the best caption since the Squirrel caption:
Michigan City resident Derek "Pablo" Resd'n walks out into the unhappy sky, as it pours tears of sorrow and loss unto the campus of Central Michigan University, while some chick with a pink umbrella mean mugs Pablo because his hat is too cool for school. The unsightly weather is threatening to last much of the Thursday and continue into Friday, with a potential for frost and snow in the mornings. "I'm not happy. Not at all. In fact, I'm right furious about this whole situation," Resd'n said. "I can't believe the upper atmosphere would do that to the lower atmosphere. Sometimes I think the upper atmosphere, specifically the Thermosphere, completely forgets about the Troposphere's feelings." Experts on the subject haven't the faintest clue what Resd'n was referring to.

And now the real feature. My camera got waterlogged and pretty much was shooting off frames all by itself. Hellloooo rice.

Socca, sucka

I keep posting sports photos. I should cut it out.



But shooting soccer with an 80-200 is pretty fun.



Bluh bluh bluh sports.

CMU v. MSU

2009's game was incredibly exciting. This game wasn't. However, I got to shoot it with my good friend Neil, and some cool State News kids, Lauren Wood and Matt Radick.







All in all, it was a fun day, even if CMU lost 45-7.

A jedi. At the Ren Fest.

He was a stoic Knight of the Old Republic.

Boring game was boring. Clean sports photos are boring?

All events errthang

Camping Trip

Went camping with the rat pack over the weekend at Muskegon State Park. First time all four of us have been together since Neil left for Jasper around 18 months ago. I brought along some disposable cameras, here are some frames.















And here are some random singles, too.

















One of the best weekends in a while. Can't wait for the next rat pack excursion.

(It's reaching...) Critical Mass

Longboarded next to some bikers. My ankle hurts now, but I kept up with them for a while.

Football Season is here

Don't worry, though. I'll be shooting stuff other than football too. Thankfully.











It was good to see the guys again on the sidelines. But, wow, that game was boring...
