Change of Pace

The sinus infection has dragged on for a couple of weeks, so I'm just now thinking about starting to run again, but it's been a much more productive summer in terms of photography...my first cover story ran today. Shooting for the newspaper is fun, but challenging in that the slow pace of work in the summer requires a lot more of what they call "enterprise" work AKA, get off your butt and find something interesting to shoot. When we're not on assignment or wandering around town looking for ideas, our little photo gang likes to get together to play Adventure Club, which involves wandering around town and taking pictures of each other!

I suppose it's a little vain of us, but what are a bunch of cute photo girls (our token male couldn't make it that day) to do when faced with a big river and gorgeous magic hour light?

My next run will probably be back in my beloved Central Park when I head to the city for a long weekend. There's not way that I'm possibly going to be able to catch up with all the friends that I'd like to while I'm there, but I'll do the best I can. Then it's back to taking pictures in fabulous mid-Missouri and hopefully working on getting back in shape for a halfway-respectable July half marathon.
