		<title>Home opener</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday was DeKalb High School&#8217;s first home football game in a very long time. That&#8217;s because despite having a football team, they don&#8217;t have a stadium. For years they have been playing at Northern Illinois University&#8217;s football field.
Maybe it was a lack of ownership, or how the school couldn&#8217;t collect money at the concession [...]]]></description>

		<title>Assembly Line</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is proliferation of &#8220;fests&#8221; in DeKalb County. Midwest Fest, Kish Fest, Odd Fest&#8230;
But I think the original (not sure of this), and most influential, is Corn Fest. Possibly the quirkiest booth at this year&#8217;s Corn Fest was a barbershop quartet selling elephant ears out of an old trailer.
The Kish-Wau-Keys were frying dough and covering [...]]]></description>

		<title>Circus comes to town</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My only memory of going to a traveling circus show is from when I was very young. Oddly, I don&#8217;t remember the animals, stunts or dancing dogs.
The only vision I have is walking on straw, strewn about outside the enormous tent. That&#8217;s it.

		<title>A year (or a lifetime) apart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning I was photographing the opening of a coffee shop in a retirement community in DeKalb. I made the image on the left when I saw these two elderly gentlemen talking over coffee at a table with a clean orange background. It immediately made me think of an image I took almost exactly a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back in full swing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shot my first high school game of the season yesterday. On top of high school sports, I am very excited to go to Iowa State to shoot NIU football&#8217;s season opener. I think I may even get to throw a Bears game in there!

		<title>Drakesbad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two weeks ago I was back in my home state of California on my family&#8217;s annual vacation to Drakesbad Guest Ranch in Lassen Volcanic National Park.
My family has been going to Drakesbad every year, well before I was born. In 25 years of existence, I have only missed two trips: when I was 22, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Legs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m back from a week-long annual family trip to Lassen Volcanic National Park in northern California. While editing the images I found these contrasting &#8220;accidental images.&#8221; It happens when my camera bumps my hip and the shutter goes off.

both taken on Canon 5D Mark 2 with 35mm f1.4

Much more to come.

		<title>Indy 500</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may be expecting to see images of race cars in this post. Sorry, but that is not the case. Just as interesting as the 500-mile race involving 220+ mph machines are the antics the night before, camping out in the area around the track.

		<title>Indianapolis International Airport</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Going through images from my trip to Italy in June for some possible prints. Still enjoy this one I made while waiting for my flight to Rome at the Indianapolis Airport.
Big shout out to my roommate&#8217;s mom, Robin, for taking me to the airport that morning!

		<title>Another fortnight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is another update of work from the last two weeks. Well, two or three may be older than that, but I still want to share them.
This kid had the most amazing emotions during his reading/writing tutoring session in DeKalb, Ill. This was how he reacted when he correctly wrote the letter &#8220;G.&#8221;
