Day 10

Ames EMS and Fire pull carry a woman out of Deano's 119 Main in Ames, IA.  An EMS tech was overheard saying, “She’s bleeding like crazy; we are going to need to carry her out,” and according to the pizza delivery guy, who was in Deano’s immediately after the incident, “People were going batshit and a woman was yelling ‘We need clean towels.’” 

I saw two police cars in my rearview mirror that happened to be turning down the alley towards Deano’s.  I was looking for parking anyway and decided to walk over and see what was happening.  I missed them actually going into the building, but somebody said he thought he saw one of them draw a gun.  I hung out until the carried out the woman.  Hopefully I’ll find out more information tomorrow.  I tried to go in the front of Deano’s, but some angry female officer told me to move along and then told me the bar was closed.  I am curious as to my legal standing to be on the sidewalk shooting photos.  Also, how do I find out more information on this? Can I call the police and just ask? Things to look into, Ames is getting pretty rough. 

Day 1

In an attempt to become a better photographer, maybe even a good photographer someday, I have set out with a goal: shoot every day.  I know it’s not life shattering, but I think it will be a good experiment to see if I can keep this project alive.

Barring gear breakdown, a year from now my blog should have 365 photos.  However there is a catch, I need your help. I need you too keep me honest, if I'm not posting and you know me call!  I also am enlisting you to tell me how to improve, and hopefully a year from now I’ll be cranking out some kick ass imagery.  Here it goes, day one:
