My friend John H. White always talks about the the need to recharge your batteries, to build your photographic armor, to bask in some PJ love. (video here) These are all people who have a common goal, to document, to tell stories with their cameras, to be awesome visual servants. Everyday in newsrooms it gets heavy, everyday my phone goes nuts with car crashes, shootings, fires, stabbings. You gotta find the small slice that lifts your soul and makes you want to be better. To tell better stories, to effect more change. I love my geeks. I miss them already. But it’s nice to be home and working.

Shauna is a huge fan of “Short Game Golf” and took Sol and myself out for a clinic. One of the best things about having great photographers as friends is they live for a new experience. Mini golf on a Wednesday afternoon, why not? And who would think to drive to Niles, IL to play? Exactly.



This was the hole Shauna got a hole-in-one.
