Summer time Joys and Woes

Photobucket

Kody Williams - a Navarre football, basketball, and track player - was the All Sports Association/Daily News Boys' Athlete of the year. I was asked to shoot the portrait and tried a couple poses before settling on this one. The photo ran on June 13th.

On June 10th, Niceville held its graduation of the seniors and I shot it again this year for the paper. This was the published photo.

Several weeks ago, a high school student was killed in her driveway by another driver. Her grandma (pictured here) and family was devastated at the lost but the community showed its support of their loss through the funeral and beach memorial. Here her grandmother relives a moment in time when her daughter and granddaughter pose for a picture during the Miss CHS pageant.

On July 10th, I traveled to Okaloosa Island to photograph the Wildlife Refuge setting up their new location with the animals. This picture was of a fox named Franklin adapting to his new home for the first time.

Another assignment I covered on July 10 was a semi-pro football game between the NWF Falcons and the Crestview Thunderbirds. The Falcons won 27-6.
