This was another slow week in the photojournalist part of my life, but it was not unbeneficial by any means. Wednesday I decided to hang around the office on my own time to see if any good spot news or assignments would come up. Sure enough, some spot news did occur, and I was rushing to the scene to capture what I could. A van's gas tank exploded when it being removed from a van at Big Iron Environmental in Fort Walton Beach. I arrived in time to see the firemen putting out what was left from the explosion but never caught any flames. The photo was not published but placed in an online gallery on the Web site.
Shortly after the spot news, I tagged along with Nick and photographed Okaloosa County's Middle School Track Championships at Choctaw High School. The kid above won the boys 1600 and beat the county record by running it in 4:44 (country record = 4:46). Once he realized his accomplishment, he began cheering in celebration. Below is the girl who won the girl's 1600 and strained just to pass the finish line:
Friday morning amidst the gray storm clouds, I photographed a group of middle school kids from Calvary Christian Academy who were raking leaves as part of a service project. They were very enthusiastic about the project as well as my interest in taking their picture. This image was published:
This last photo has no real significance except that the moment caught my eye and I had to photograph it. The turtle on the far left of the picture was lifting its head in a similar pattern to the branches that poked up from the tree:
