I felt August went by quickly, but man, it feels like September went by even faster. I guess it's getting to be that time of year where time flies, though, with the holidays creeping up on us and all. I'm already getting anxious of where I will heading when the ball drops in Times Square and people are singing Auld Lang Syne to ring in 2017. Will I be at an internship or a full-time job? Where will I be in the country? For how long? I hope to have answers to these questions soon as I continue to work hard and learn along the way. I spent a lot of my energy in September working on a still-in-progress project following Loy Norrix High School's varsity football team, a team that hasn't seen a winning season since 1998 and has only had 10 winning seasons since the school opened in 1961. It's been a a fun experience immersing myself in a project like this -- focusing on the feature side of sports, especially the transient moments you see in loss and triumph. You can read and see what I've published so far here. Here are a few frames from the Loy Norrix project as well as some selects from daily work in September.

James and Ken Cronkhite were trying to do random acts of kindness and it didn't go as planned. James is the 89-year-old father with dementia who is trying to clear out his collections of various things, including his collection of hundreds of teddy bears. His son Ken tried to give some of the bears to women's shelters, donation places, and hospitals, but some places couldn't take them since the bears weren't new. So Ken decided it would be fun to bring them wherever he went, and when he saw a family, give them a teddy bear. A sweet thought, but hard to do in 21st century America where people aren't so trusting. A Facebook post by the school district telling people to watch out for a man giving out teddy bears and a visit from the police later, Ken got discouraged from doing his random acts of kindness but is still trying to figure out a way to give all these bears a home.
