Athlete of the Year
Some fun in Photoshop.
Grand Island Senior High’s Ariel Krolikowski is The Independent’s Area girls Athlete of the Year for 2009.
Watching and Waiting
Not sure why, but just like it.
As a spectator relaxes above them, members of the Prime Time Sports Patriots wait for their game while watching NP Dodge and Wells Fargo play during their Class A Junior Legion State Tournament opening-round game Friday in Kearney. The NP Dodge Wildcats won the game 10-0 as play was stopped in the sixth inning.
Sliding home
This is kind of cheating because this image has been published, and not that long ago. It’s not that I’m opposed to posting images here of mine you can find elsewhere at The Independent, but I’ve tried to post outtakes to give viewers a little something extra.
However, a play at home is a play at home. There aren’t that many, and I thought I got a pretty good shot of this one.
A little portrait
Just a simple photo of Jim Pohl. I liked how the details of the projection room speak to who he is and what he does in his spare time.
Trapped Arthur
Kids watch an Arthur video before breaking up into groups for the Grand Island Public Library’s “Special Reading Event.”
Rodeo Practice
In an effort to placate some of my twitter followers I’ll write a little bit about the photo:
I met Aman the other day and he has qualified to participate in the state rodeo tournament (I’m still checking on the official name of it). Anyhow Jim Faddis and I roll up and he gets called in for the interview. Turns out Aman was bored and was out practicing his roping. After the interview that’s what he went back to and low and behold a photo came from it.
I like the light and I also liked the space. Way out by Ravenna it’s hard to find a piece of shade in the summer, let alone a nice little clump of trees with a couple of barns mingled amongst them.
So this is Aman roping. To learn more about him go to http://theindependent.com on Monday July 6.
