Oceana County Fair

this boy had a little too much fun at the fair


Larry Jager has been making taffy for the last fifty five years. He uses the same pot and old fashioned techniques he learned from his grandfather at the age of 10. Jager believes that taffy making is going to soon become a lost art.

Auditions for Kids Fit TV

Last week at the Chronicle I mostly shot headshots and team photos for the Football Tab. This week Greg has been giving me a little bit more fun :)

Summer Celebration Day 5

last day of Summer Celebration!!!!








Eddie Montgomery

Summer Celebration Day 4

This was my favorite day of shooting. I can't upload my Miranda Lambert photo because I had to sign a waiver the photo would only be used for publication in the Chronicle. For the record it's my second favorite photo. My favorite is the one below.


Julianne Hough


I think this fan was in love with Miranda Lambert


James Otto

Summer Celebration Day 3

It's so hard to shoot the same thing every night in a week. It was hard to get different fan photos since they all essentially do the same thing and no one got out of control. This night I decided to try incorporating the crowds hands.

Summer (Rain) Celebration Day Two

It started to sprinkle as i headed into Summer Celebration


During the opening act the rain started to pick up


and then it just downpoured...


this is what i looked like...luckily my friend brought me a change of warm clothes. two hours later but nonetheless i was eventually dry.


Jonny Lang makes CRAZY faces when he performs


I was really surprised at how many people knew who Jonny Lang was. Maybe i'm the only person who has never heard of him. I really like the color in this photo


Kansas was the headliner


a beautiful sunset to end a long night

Summer Celebration Day 1

I finally can upload some of my Summer Celebration pics!!!
This is my first experience photographing concerts. Let's just say I got a lot of practice. 5 days in a row worth...with many many camera problems and lots and lots of rain.


Dierks Bentley...i was only able to take 10 photos of him because i was already pushing deadline because of a rain delay and he was the headliner. yikes.


Luke Bryan. apparently he is a big country star. everyone was going crazy over him.
