Here are some of my favorite features from the past two weeks. Everything from wild art hunts to assigned Christmas plays. Above is a shot from Townzen's Barbershop's annual fundraiser in downtown Rogers.

Christmas Train

/
I shot the 7th annual Christmas Train back on Dec. 5 in Springdale. Simply put, this was a fun assignment that I enjoyed from beginning to end. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did taking them.

Back On The News Beat

/
So I've been back with the paper, now Northwest Arkansas Newspapers L.L.C., since the first of the month. Admittedly I wasn't exactly looking forward to transitioning back to news full time after three months of non-stop football. But, surprisingly, things have gone well and I've had some good assignments and feature hunts. The photos above are from a house fire in Rogers on my second day back. I haven't shot a good house fire in a long time. In this case it was good since the home was abandoned and nobody was hurt. I'll be posting more news photos in the coming days.

The Hogs will finish their 2009 season on Jan. 2 in the Liberty Bowl against East Carolina. I'm praying for mild weather.
