Just an outtake from some spot news…
1 CommentMan of Peace
A quick portrait from a peace vigil today downtown, commemorating the 4,000th American casualty in Iraq.
John Schuder has been protesting war since the 1930s, and didn’t fight in World War II because of his beliefs. Interesting to find someone from that generation who didn’t fight.
Standing proud :: Columbia, Mo.
Another damn sport
Geesh…now wrestling?
My sports portfolio better kick ass after this semester. Or at least contain one shot of every winter sport in America.
(Minus skiing.)
Well, at least I got a trip to St. Louis. And I got to see another national championship.

They Are The Champions
UN-Omaha’s 400-yard freestyle relay team celebrates after winning their event final — and a National Championship.
That’s F’in Teamwork
Missouri’s got a lot of picking up to do after this season. But hey, it’s not like I wanted to shoot another MU/KU game or anything…especially at the Big 12 Tournament.
A little help :: Kansas City, Mo.
Lacrosse
Passing drill :: Columbia, Mo.
Fan
From the girls basketball state championship.
The Rock Bridge Bruins, one of the high schools here in Columbia, were playing. And they won.

Dolls
I thought about whether or not I should post a picture from a house fire that I got sent to cover. This family has owned the house for 104 years, and the house is almost 150 years old.
They lost almost everything, save some papers, antique chandeliers and family heirlooms. So I wasn’t sure if I should post their burnt memories on my blog.
“They’re just things,” the owner’s granddaughter, Mary, told me.
So here’s what’s left of 80 or so dolls that the owner collected…
“Where should we put all the doll parts?” a volunteer asked Ann Betteridge, the home’s owner of 28 years, while rummaging through the house’s remains.
“Just put them all together, in that pan over there,” she replied.
No Exit
An outtake from a dress rehearsal of the play “No Exit” at Columbia College tonight.
For a play about existentialism, it seemed fitting.
March to March
Scenes from the True/False Film Festival’s March to March parade last Friday in Columbia.
Weirdness was abound, and it was pretty cool.
Annarose Overshiner, the face of the T/F Film Festival.
The band waited…
Then they played. Mucca Pazza is their name.
Watching from above.
It’s not everyday you see a girl dressed up as a gorilla…
and getting her nipple pinched at that.
As the parade goes by.
