Day 256
I spent some time in the elementary school today. I love children's drawings. I could look at them all day long. Children are not yet jaded to feeling the need to please or avoid criticism. Children create for creations sake. They do not create to impress or be judged, but purely for the joy. Children have creativity figured out.

Day 255
Senior Lexi Ondracek dives deep to return a volley in a hard-fought match against Davies. These lady Hi-Liners played hard and kept us all on the edge of our seats until the final point, losing by just a few in the 5th game. It was SO much fun to watch them play! This team is a well oiled machine!!

Day 254
I had the wonderful opportunity to photo-document the 1st annual "Dinner in the Valley" tonight. It brought together local farmers and community members to share a meal created from local produce and encourage discussion regarding agriculture and its struggles and its future. It was a wonderful meal in an absolute beautiful setting, at the Riverbend Farm. Thank you to the Valley City Chamber for this opportunity!

Day 253
I am really not sure how he can be a senior when I swear he was just 6. I have the most amazing job when I get to look through my camera and, at times, see younger versions of my brothers. That is what happened a while ago when photographing my other nephew, and it happened again today with this nephew. Thank you Gavin for letting me share this experience with you!

My rule was to shoot everyday. But rules are meant to be broken.
Today this is more important than a rule.
The Struggle
lost.
... and the angels wept.

Friday Night Lights.
It is a small town thing, I have come to learn.
And I love it.
"14 carries for a Hi-Liner FIRST DOWN!"

Day 251
It is so fun seeing my son's football team grow and improve through the last few years of football. Their 2nd game of the season ended in a win. #42 scored one of the touchdowns this evening. I can't wait to see this team grow as players and men through the next 6 years!
