Rico Butler Death Day 2

Davidson Student Dead

The body of a Hilliard Davidson High School student, Rico Bulter, who was a star player on the school's football team was found late last night, after he drowned while swimming with friends in a quarry near the Scioto River. This one was a hard one to cover last night, as a Davidson grad it touched home. As a news photographer you have to cover the good and also the bad, and this was the really bad tonight.

AXE Undie Run

Hundreds of Ohio State students participate in the AXE Undie Run Challenge at 15th Avenue and High Street. The charity runs, held on selected campuses across the nation, are designed to raise money and collect clothing, in this case for the Columbus Coalition for the Homeless. AXE, which makes deodorant, shower gel and hair products, is donating $5,000 to the charity.

Cropping!

When the Reds jumped into 1st place on sunday afternoon the lead story in sports changed for Monday.  So my picture got bumped from the front page to the inside.  It also got cropped to hell!  

Hilltop Shooting

So........this is what happens when your a 12-year-old boy and you try to steal a gun from a police officer to go after the guy who shot your step-father.  Hilltopers are Crazy!

Clippers Baseball

Here are a couple shots from a few Clippers baseball games I took a couple weeks ago. In both pictures that guy caught the ball. I am sure I will be shooting more games in the next 4 weeks. Got to love the 3-11 shift.

Laurel Purtell, a teacher at Slate Ridge School in Reynoldsbrug, and her daughter Courtney, 13, a seventh-grader at Wagner Road Junior High School, react after early results were posted at the school district office last night. The 9.9-mill incremental levy will provide the first new operating money in the district since 1997.
