Arena Football
I have a love-hate relationship with arena football.
I'll leave my personal feelings out of it other than to say that I'm surprised Green Bay can sustain a second football team that's not the Green Bay Packers. Apparently fans in the Tundra are so starved for the gridiron during the NFL's off-season that they're willing to watch the game played on a carpeted half-field.
I digress.
AFL games are just as dark as the darkest stadium you've ever shot in (fewer lights on than hockey), the plays are shorter and quicker than the NFL (I think), and your backgrounds are absolutely littered with advertisements.
It's a nightmare.
It's also an occasion that you can try to rise to.
Green Bay Blizzard's (8) Derek Deardorff walks onto the field during team introductions before a game against Chicago Slaughter at the Resch Center in Ashwaubenon, Wis., Saturday, June 19, 2010.
Green Bay Blizzard's Scott Burnoski (1) reaches for a first down while getting wrapped up by Chicago Slaughter's Chris Rodgers (38) in the first quarter.
Chicago Slaughter's Nick Williams (99) forces the fumble from Green Bay Blizzard quarterback Brad Iciek in the first quarter. Green Bay recovered the ball to keep possession.
Iciek throws downfield in the second quarter.
Green Bay Blizzard's BJ Hill (13) runs back a kickoff for a touchdown to tie the game at 9-9 late in the second quarter.

Boston
Recently returned from a long weekend in Boston. Had a great time exploring. One of the best views of the city came from the monument at Bunker Hill, almost 300 steps to the top of the obelisk.

State Track and Field in La Crosse
Some people loathe it. I love it.
This year I got to return to La Crosse, Wis., for the WIAA 2010 Track and Field State Championships, covering the finish line for six daily newspapers and websites in our regional group. Two other photographers from the group covered the field events and grabbed features around the stadium.
Two years ago I covered the tournament on my own for one paper. Either way (solo or part of a team), it's a challenge to keep your images fresh and your brain from burning out. By the second day you never want to see another heat sheet again in your life. But anyways, it is nice to be chosen to cover stuff that's important to our readers.
Here are some of my best from the track:
Freedom's Liz Bloy, center, leads Green Bay Notre Dame's Allie Woodward, left, early in the 3200M Relay at the WIAA State Track & Field meet in La Crosse, Wis., Friday, June 4, 2010.
La Crosse Central's Derek Finsterwalder recovers after competing in the 800M Run, Friday.
Sheboygan North's Connor Stengel celebrates with his teammates after finishing first in the 400M Dash, Saturday, June 5, 2010.
Iola-Scandinavia finishes fifth in the boys Division 3 400M Relay.
Fans take cover under umbrellas as rain begins to fall mid-afternoon, Saturday, June 5, 2010.
Members of the Manitowoc Lutheran girls 400M Relay team receive their sixth place medals.
A runner takes off on a rain-soaked track in the girls 800M Run, Saturday, June 5, 2010.
Milwaukee Vincent's Sedrick Washington is surrounded by track officials after he fell out of his wheelchair in the 800M Run Wheelchair event at the WIAA State Track & Field meet in La Crosse, Wis., June 5, 2010. Washington did not finish the race, although WIAA rules state competitors may get back in their wheelchair - even with assistance - and continue. This was the first year for wheelchair events in the WIAA tournament.
Kiel's Kim Hennings competes in the 800M Run, Saturday.
