Somehow, it's been about 3.5 months of Friday Night Lights coverage. I've really enjoyed the routine of going out to these high schools every Friday and immersing myself into the "boys of fall" culture. Even the dead fly graveyards in the tiny press boxes and wearing two pairs of pants for the colder games couldn't get me down. I really have enjoyed all of this. I was talking to my good friend, Jacob Byk, who covered the FNL season at his internship in Hutchinson, Kansas and

Perhaps the combination of my internship coming to a close and this glorious weather we have been having has made November fly by. Then again, every month seems to. There is still lots to do in Columbus the next few weeks before I leave. Football has most-likely come to a close for me. The second half of the season will come in another blog post, and then I'm looking forward to sitting down with the months of coverage and picking my favorite plays and features, also another b

I am in no way a master sports shooter and will most likely never be, but growing up in a sports-centric family has certainly benefited me while on sports assignments. I rarely have trouble following sports and have a pretty solid knowledge and understanding of all that goes on. It helps that I enjoy them too.

The Mid-Ohio Cluster Dog Show was held November 12 – 15, 2015 at the Bricker Building in Columbus. I stopped over by the show on Saturday before a scheduled assignment, and was happy to have free time Sunday to go back over and get a more in-depth look. The show was sponsored by four kennel clubs, including approximately 2,000 dogs per day, representing more than 150 breeds from all over the United States and Canada. I got a good look at the St. Bernards and Goldens on the la

With the exception of a few feature assignments, the agenda this weekend was centered around sports assignments. From Friday Night Lights (regional quarterfinals), to Saturday's state field hockey tournament and the Ohio State football game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. This Sunday, I ended my work weekend at the Value City Arena where the Ohio State Buckeyes basketball team took on the Walsh Cavaliers in an exhibition game. Though Buckeye football is for sure an incr

Yesterday, with some down time between assignments, a fellow staff photographer (Barb Perenic) and I stopped on the OSU campus to look for some wild art. I noticed some sunshine peeking through the trees by Mirror Lake and ventured up toward Neil Avenue. When I saw plenty of people commuting by bike I sat down to try and make a graphic frame. With the weather about to take a drastic dip this weekend, I figured it would be the last time I'd be able to sit on a warm curb and ob
