I took this photo at a Sioux Falls Stampede hockey game three or four years ago at the Sioux Falls Arena.
And yes, I too wanna drive the Zamboni.

Don't panic!
This is not an out of control fire but a controlled burn of the old grain elevator in Harrisburg a couple summers ago. It was one of the biggest deals to hit the Garden Spot of Lincoln County in many years. It turned into a major fire fighting exercise for the region's fire fighters. Plus, it was really cool to watch. I kept yelling "fire, fire, huh, huh, fire" like Beavis and Butthead.

This is the rare photo that I did not take. It was taken by the folks from Kodak during a promotion they were doing at Mt. Rushmore in June 2002. While I look like a typical touristy dork, I like the family pose and Mt. Rushmore behind us. We were in Rapid City for the state soccer tournament. It
is a memory of a good time with my family.

I wish I could tell you I meant for this photo to turn out this way, but that would not be the truth. Typically in my sports photography, I'm trying to stop the action as sharply as possible, not blur it. I get enough unintentional blur as it is from poorly lit gyms and too weak of a flash unit on my camera.
But I think in this photo, the blur works pretty well. My daughter Sarah, the maroon gal in the middle, is mostly stopped and waiting to receive the just thrown basketball from an unseen teammate. Meanwhile, the other players swirl around her playing defense. I think it captures the critical moment of the ball being thrown and the controlled chaos that is basketball. I believe I took the photo in 2005 and it is of a C game between Harrisburg and Sioux Falls Christian.
