This year’s focus for Heritage Days: local business. Took a few of Erin’s along with my own. Each reporter had four stories to write, mostly dealing with businesses with several generations of family.

I don’t know how I feel about MMA. It’s alright I guess but a little too violent for me. Either way, glad I got a chance to shoot it. Started shooting down on the ring from upstairs but the pics sucked so I got near another photographer down by the ring and mostly shot with the 16-35. The fence wasn’t too big of a deal since I was up close but the ring was just high enough to where I couldn’t sit down and shoot but had to half-kneel the whole time so my thighs are pretty sore. Glad I didn’t get any blood splattered on me. With the fire in the Square on Wednesday night, it’s been a really hectic week with a lot of late nights in the office. Just hope this week is a little more calm.

The event was created in response to the beating death of 16-year-old Fenger High School honor student Derrion Albert.“‘I’ve survived my entire tour, all the car bombs and the road bombs and the gun fire and everything only to become a victim in my own house,” said Nowlin. “That’s ridiculous.”
