"Blue Death"
The Chemics had a good run this year ending their season at 11-1. Here are some of my favorite images from covering them this fall.

Inferno
Sean got the call about a structure fire last weekend so we grabbed our cameras and headed out. Between us, we had one 70-200, but most of the time I used my 35mm staying close enough to feel the heat and to frame the firefighters against the burning auto business.
Explosions from inside kept everyone alert as the fire methodically worked its way through the building. In a year and half working here, this is the largest blaze I've seen.

Election 2012
Yesterday the MDN photo staff took it to the countryside and we hopscotched around to the numerous township halls in Midland County. I shot in Edenville and Mills township. It was great to meet the kind people out there, and see the election process away from all the glitz and glamour of the political world.

Fife and Drum
Twelve solemn figures dressed in Revolutionary War-era uniforms
marched perfectly in step to the crisp taps of a snare drum through
smoky campsites and canvas tents near the Saginaw River on Saturday.
People stopped to watch as they passed by in their distinctive black hats and green coats, coming to attention on the empty parade ground. A few minutes passed while their leader, Jim McMahan, conferred with a few French Canadians reenactors, milling around and soon word passed down the line, “We’re early.” As the group broke their formation, a few chuckled as they complained: “Didn’t this happen last year too?”
An hour later, the distinctive sound of the fife and the tap-tap of the snare drums filled a full parade ground as the Tittabawassee Valley Fife and Drum Corps hailed the start of the annual River of Time, a living history encampment event in Bay City.
