(Virginia, IL) A crowd waits at night at the courthouse square in Virginia Illinois at the 2011 annual BBQ to see country music entertainer Marty Stuart and his Superlatives. A storm had just passed that almost destroyed the stage and tents.
(Jerseyville, IL) While sitting in Elmer Heafner's barber shop, I watched as three young boys had their hair cut. Their mother makes a monthly trip to the shop with all three of them. <br />
<br />
I ran out to my car as Elmer was almost finished on the last boy to get a camera. I estimated the focus, stood up, shot 3 frames and got this image. The boy looked my way as Elmer finished.<br />
<br />
A few days later I gave Elmer a print of this image and his response was, "I look old."<br />
<br />
One of the things that I could not fig
(Carlinville, IL) Pitcher Sam Coonrod sits on the bench and tries to cool off on an extremely hot day during a sectional Baseball game held at Blackburn College. Coonrod was a member of the Carrollton IL Hawks team that eventually won the Illinois High School Class A Championship.<br />
<br />
Coonrod will attend Southern Illinois University in Carbondale as of the fall semester of 2011.<br />
<br />
I shot this as I walked by him in the dugout. He was stripped to his underwear trying to get cooled off.
(Elsah, IL) A woman plays the piano inside the Christian Science Church during Elsah's annual holiday celebration. Elsah is the home of Principia College.
