Warm weather brings out the hooligans. Been following one particular hooligan for a couple of days but those photos don’t form anything cohesive yet. So here’s some good old-fashioned small-town fun.

Umbrella ella ella ay ay ay
My first foray into umbrella lighting. Thanks to the snow for forcing us to shoot inside, and to Samantha for stuffing herself into a locker.
Surprise: Jacksonville!
I’m getting better at identifying and capturing moments. Unfortunately my best moments are all wide-angle right now. The first moment: after an arrest; the second: after prayer.
Jacksonville, again
