This isn't for the contest as there is no one set of data, but all the photos in this montage were shot on the same day.
Our little town is usually a quiet place with not much more than the weather or the last ball game to report on. When you go out walking there are always lots of other people out to stop and chat with, children playing ball in the park, little ol' ladies tending to their flower beds, always a friendly wave and a "how ya doin today". You know, the kind of place where everyone in the county know your business.
However that changed on March 25. You notice in these photos taken just a couple days after that- no one is out and about. It was an errie quiet walk that day.
On March 25 one of our local farmers was found murdered in his home. In the middle of the day. It was, they say, a very brutal bloody scene. Word about is that he had been tapped to a chair in his living room and shot in the head with a hunting rifle.
On March 28 as I opened the county news paper this flyer fell out. It had been tucked between the pages of pictures of the grade school wrestlers, high school basketball girls, and the Easter Bunny.
As of this time the murder is still unsolved except that they think it is linked to another farm burglery that took place the same day just down the road.
I think that our little town has forever been changed.
My appoligies for starting this assignment off on such a sad note, but I wanted to share.
Hopefully I will have a happy news shot to share with you all before this assignment is over. Maybe a nice spring weather report.
