High School Friendly Competion

Better late then never, right? This was a competition of more than 300 high school students with Hanford engineers acting as judges. Teams had 45 minutes to design and build a device that delivered a pencil to a specific distance using only common office supplies.

Also...a week-old item. I did a Soundslides for the first time in months. I'm not too happy with the photos, but I thought the audio turned out OK. It's a very basic, straightforward, slideshow:

One local team won the regional title:

The other lost the battle for a state playoff berth and dragged out the game with lots of fouls:

Radcon 2009

I had a fun time shooting at our local Sci-Fi Convention, Radcon. You can see a full (some might say excessive) photo gallery at: http://www.tri-cityherald.com/galleries/gallery/479632.html

Super Bowl Shooting

Two events, one gallery, one helluva game!

Plastic Instruments and Botched Basketball

Two galleries today after getting woken up for a fire and starting work far earlier than I had hoped.

Here's one from a Guitar Hero contest. Gallery at: http://www.tri-cityherald.com/galleries/gallery/464528.html



And then one from tonight's basketball game. Kamiakin, whose coach is seen here lacing into his players, was way down at the half when I left to work up photos. They ended up winning and I ended up with very few options of Kamiakin looking good.

Oh well. Gallery at: http://www.tri-cityherald.com/1418/gallery/464706.html

I'm pretty excited about it, too.

It's in the multiple picture category, so check 'em out, if you'd like.

I'll be offended if you don't.

MLK Bell-Ringing Ceremony

I shot this on my first day as a staffer, Jan. 21, 2008, and it was interesting to shoot it again nearly one year later. Aside from just being more comfortable, it was strange to recognize so many people from past assignments or as local dignitaries.

Here's a gallery from the day: http://www.tri-cityherald.com/galleries/gallery/450734.html
