Night Shift
I met Iceiss tonight at the Regency Hotel in Columbia.
…best conversation I’ve had in awhile.
Also, a special shout-out to Amanda Stokes Lucier for letting me borrow her sweet D3. She may not get it back.
Shush
From tonight’s Columbia College men’s basketball game against McKendree University.
“Be cool, man. Be cool.”
Grand Prix
From the Missouri Grand Prix today. I shot it from the top of the diving board, praying that I wouldn’t drop my camera — complete with a 300mm lens — into the water.
Sally liked this one…so I’ll put it in.

2 CommentsAfter school
Had an assignment to shoot at the Boys and Girls Club of Columbia yesterday.
I won’t lie…it was hard. Mostly because my conversations with the 11 and 12-year-olds went something like this…
“Hey, what you takin’ pictures of?”
“The building…the playground, stuff like that.”
“You gonna put these in the paper?”
“Yeah. I work for the paper.”
“Will somebody fix our fence after they see them?…
“Yeah, how about our basketball goal? And the window? That’s broken too…”
I only spent an hour or so with them, but I feel like there is so much more to tell here. So if you find it within you to give to them — your time, your money, whatever — please do.
Four-square.
The fence.
Books are only good if you can read them.
Broken windows, but still having fun.
The playground.
Watch party
I got sent to a Republican watch party last night at somebody’s house. Here’s an outtake that I liked…
“I want Huckabee to win,” Donna Spickert told me when I asked her what she hoped would happen in the election. “But I know that after tonight, Republicans will come together and support whoever our nominee will be.”
The Phog
Some stuff from last night’s KU-MU game at Allen Fieldhouse…
I’ve been there for games more times than I can count, but it was definitely an experience from courtside.
The students always throw up little pieces of newspaper when they introduce KU.
Cheerleaders doin’ their cheer.
King Arthur’s court, as some like to call it.
Staring contest.

He’s not hiding it.
