Day 364/365

     I checked out some more closed-down schools on Monday, and finally got to put together one behemoth of a gallery on MLive that you can see here. 

Day 360/365

     Today was a big mix of different assignments. It started out with taking a picture of a pit bull mix that reportedly bit a 2-year-old girl. The dog's currently being held at the local pound, and there's a big debate storming about what should be done. The dog was supposedly left by a former roommate of the girl's family, and had bitten the girl before. The family supposedly couldn't get animal control to take the dog without paying $130, which they couldn't afford. The whole situation is just unfortunate from all points of view, to put it mildly. 

   After the dog photos a reporter and I worked on a project we've been building up, centered around the abundance of closed schools in Saginaw. I won't be putting any of those photos up yet since I haven't published them on MLive, but these are a few candids from some of the exploring we embarked on today. Some Simon and Garfunkel-inspired graffiti and some bullet holes.

     To finish off the day, I shot a pretty serious car accident where all three people involved, (both drivers and one passenger), had to be rushed to the hospital. A bit of variety throughout the whole day, no?

Day 339/365

     I got to shoot an anti-bullying rally this afternoon, that this weekend's upcoming Monster Jam took part in. After an assembly giving some local middle school students some tips on how to respond to bullies, an announcer from the monster truck free-for-all picked thirteen kids to go outside with him and spray paint a "crush car" with bullying sentiments that will be crushed this weekend at the Monster Jam. The kids, as expected, loved it, and it was a pretty cool event to witness.
