Winter Storm 2010 Day 2

Yesterday was another day spent slipping and sliding around Bentonville and Bella Vista searching for news and feature photos related to Winter Storm 2010. First off I shot a mailman delivering the mail in the snow. Cliche, but what snow-related photo isn't? The best part was getting the shot in the bag only 10 minutes into my day.


Then a cliche scenic photo including a human element...


Then the cliche old man shoveling snow photo...


After that I hit the slopes, or the golf course turned sledding Mecca in Bella Vista. Another repeat, but more good photos.




This kid turned up in most of my shots. He was the most fearless one on the hill, therefore he ended up in my viewfinder the most.




Hopefully this is the last storm of the season. I'm sick of snow, sleds, four-wheel drive, shoveling and sweeping the slushy, sandy, melted mess out of my garage every time I come home. I'm ready for 60 degrees and sunshine...and daylight savings time.

Winter Storm 2010 Day 1

Northwest Arkansas has been slammed by a nasty winter storm over the past 24 hours. We dodged a bullet and didn't get the ice that was initially predicted. We have received a ton of snow though, and it's still falling. I hit the door this morning and enterprised around Bella Vista looking for weather related news and feature photos. Here is a selection of my favs.













Tomorrow will most likely be more of the same.

Prom season always makes for nice features. Candid moments combined with vivid colors equals good art. Locally the prom season is almost over and I haven't had the opportunity to hunt down a prom-related feature with my Hawgs duties. Today I needed to come up with a photo of for a local sales tax story in Rogers. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for a feature/news combo photo.

And it was.
