Day 322/365

     Last night/day 322 I got to shoot my first ever college/Big Ten/NCAA basketball game. It was the University of Michigan vs. Michigan State women's basketball matchup, and each team had a former local high school standout. #24 Jenny Ryan who now plays for U of M is a graduate of Saginaw's Nouvel Catholic Central, and MSU's #52 Becca Mills is a graduate of Midland Dow. It was a great game to shoot, with two pretty good teams that made everything interesting. Not to mention the lighting in the arena was fantastic. It'll be hard switching back to high school basketball, but it was an awesome experience all the same. Hopefully I'll get to shoot another one soon!

Day 299/365

     Saturday's/day 299's belated posted comes to you from C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor. I went down to the hospital to see how Jessica and her donor Brian were doing after having a kidney transplant operation done this past Friday. Both were still going through the more uncomfortable stages of recovery, so I opted to come back Sunday/yesterday/day 300 to see if they were feeling more up to having their pictures taken. 

     While I was waiting to take to a P.R. rep. from the hospital though I got to hang out in the pretty spiffy lobby. The hospital was redesigned last year to be more colorful and fun, with sparkly floors that glitter even more when the colored lights on the ceiling reflect on them. Totally worth the trip down.
