High Water

A photo I took today of some submerged land in Lake County.

An Oldie

Here's a photo I took last year, and I re-edited it for a project for a computer class. In any case, I kind of like it. It was a photo I took near a landfill. It was a very blustery day that day... and to tell you the truth, I think I was trespassing. So this probably can't be used for the newspaper, but it was fun just the same.

Nursing Home

I know what you're thinking... "What exciting thing is going on in Lake County?"
Well, ice cream socials at nursing homes, of course!
Seriously, this event was sorta... err... lame, especially as I could not photograph the residents due to lack of permission slips or something...
So this is what I got, which I thought... I kinda liked.

Sleep Clinic

Gail Treffinger from Wisconsin gets all wired up as she prepares to get monitored while she sleeps.

This guy's name was Anthony Covington and he was a pretty cool guy, and fun to talk to. He used to be a firefighter before this and was talking about how he likes the quiet involved in the sleep study field.
