I've had a fairly busy week. Particularly since my week didn't start until Wednesday.
I found some kids playing basketball in some gorgeous light, covered a minor house fire--started by a little girl with lighter playing a closet--I spent some time in a neighborhood photographing the folks that live there for a story about the diversity in the neighborhood and how some new townhomes might add to the said diversity, covered a hockey game, and I spent an afternoon at a state park.
A good week.
Oh, there's also a portrait of a mom with her very happy baby.
I'm pretty proud of my work this week.
There's some other stuff represented in this edit, but I'll let you get to that on your own.
Thanks for looking.
