"You don't expect to be exhausted by reams of soul-sick narration and artful chiaroscuro compositions, but that's what happens."

My second go at the Midland County Fair. I spent a lot of time with animals and 4h kids, and less time on the Midway. It was a long week, but for the most part the weather was perfect (except the first two days where it rained.) Here are some pictures.

As a bonus, here are some pages! I designed Fair Folk (the Rodeo Clown kid portrait is Nick's,) and Nick also laid out the features page.

Others.

A little bit more work from the latter half of the month. It's funny, I haven't finished my first internship, haven't had to time freak out about my second internship and I'm already having to find my third internship. Such is life, though.

Squirrel!

Nathan Morgan asked if I could find a weather feature or pictorial while I was dropping dumping photos from earlier assignments. I told him I'd see what I could find, but after scouring the events calenders, I found nothing. So I walked down to the Tridge hoping to find something weathery over there, but instead I found a squirrel. So I shot a squirrel. And wrote a ridiculous caption.


A fox squirrel nibbles on a nut securely gripped between its paws, its face lightly dusted with fresh snow Monday afternoon by the Tridge. The fox squirrel is the largest species of tree squirrel native to North America, thriving best among oak, hickory, walnut and pine trees that produce winter-storable foods. Sometimes being referred to as raccoon squirrel, or monkey-faced squirrel, they are also mistaken for red squirrels and grey squirrels, despite physical differences such as size and color. Fox squirrels rely on their agility, both climbing and jumping, to escape predators.
