A Little Bit of Summer In Door County

Having been back in Door County for about three weeks and having one day of work so far I have had some time to shoot.  Here's a few images from my first few weeks of summer.

Devan Schultz of the Gibraltar/Sevastapol "Vikineers" breaks free from two Southern Door players in the last regular season season game of the year.  The "Vikineers" won 4-1.

Elements of Photojournalism: Photo Essay Part One

Our final project in my photojournalism class is a several week long project on a topic of our choosing.  I plan on covering RASP and some of the local skaters.  Today was my first time there, I met with the owner, (who is also a professor at RIT?!) and a few of the local skaters.  One my way home I also found another skater, alos a grad student at RIT skating under an overpass.
