Where do I even begin? I have been blessed so much this year! I have been blessed with my family and with the friendships that have grown, as well as the new friendships I have made. I have been able to further my education and have been able to do a job I love.
Last weekend I was blessed to be able to head out to Brooklyn, MI, which is home of the Michigan International Speedway. MIS was the host for Pure Michigan 400, a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.
On Father’s Day weekend I covered 912 miles in 67 hours on only 10 hours of sleep. If I said I was tired, that would be an understatement! I started off on Friday by heading to Brooklyn, MI, which is the home of the Michigan International Speedway. There I would be covering the Quicken Loans 400 Practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. After spending the day there I headed to Lansing where I was going to compete in Dirty Feat, an adventure race held in the capital, on Saturday. The race covered some 50 miles on bike, foot, and canoe. After eight hours of non-stop exercise I was on my way home for a few hours before heading back to MIS. In order to beat all the traffic I set my alarm for 4:30am and was off to the track. Once there I covered some pre-race events and waited for the race to start since there was a rain delay. Once the race was over and I had finished sending pictures to my editors, I was on my way home for some much needed rest. Here are some pictures from my adventures. You can see all the images here and here.

A few weekends ago I was able to photograph something totally new to me. I was able to photograph my first IndyCar race, not only that but it was the first car race I had ever photographed. I had never photographed cars before, even though I am from the Motor City, and it was definitely different compared to anything else I have photographed. The loud roar of the engines and the smell of the fuel in the air added to the atmosphere. I spent twelve hours at the track, but I had a blast and the time flew by. You can view all the photos here.
Spring is right around the corner, you can feel it in the air! I was able to go out and enjoy some of this nicer weather the other day and photograph something new to me, airplanes. These planes were big remote controlled planes doing all kinds of stunts in the air. Sometimes they had the plane just hovering! Don’t ask me how that works, but it was pretty sweet. Plane racing is becoming more popular with events such as Red Bull Air Racing, so it was nice to have a chance at photographing something like that.
