It took a lot of planning and Photoshop work, but I made this humorous collage for the cover of the yearly basketball preview. It was fun working with everyone as they were all willing to do silly things for the camera.
In the end, it turned out cartoony like I wanted it to.

Seven people died in a huge explosion at a Kentucky facility that produced fiberglass insulation for the automotive industry. The explosion at the CTA Acoustics plant was fueled by resin dust accumulated in a production area, likely ignited by flames from a malfunctioning oven.

This is not a good image, but it does represent my longing for snow. It’s been over a year since I had a real snowstorm to play in, so I took this image on the way to an assignment in the morning. I was just happy to live a little farther north so that it snowed since I missed it so. Little did I know that this was the biggest snow I would see in the two+ years I would live in Kentucky.
