Jeff Oetzel, 16 has put in almost 10 hours of snow shoveling at Centennial Park Skate Park. On Tues. Mar. 2 Oetzel and friends ride and clean the snow so they can start riding on a regular basis. (I was out feature hunting and got a call to go to the skate park. In BG I'd trudge that way but Davenport doesn't know that PJ's use the skate park as a last ditch effort for a picture.)

Lisa Gaston and Gina Geering of Bluegrass cheer after a point is scored by Davenport West in the 4th quarter on Friday Feb. 26. West upset Bettendorf High at Bettendorf High School 43-38. (I was pretty happy with this image because I gave up on getting an action shot and decided to get crowd stuff. When I turned it in the sports guys just looked at me and said, "You got one with a player?" They said it wasn't usable because it wasn't a player.)

Reverend Drew Nagle of Rock Island prays before an Ash Wednesday meal at Gloria Dei Presbyterian Church in Rock Island. Nagle celebrated the beginning of lent with patrons with a meal of lentils and bread. (This is one of the more exciting assignments I've had since I got here.)

Ian Sodanasser, 17 of Davenport belts out a solo during No Last Calls at show choir practice at Central Davenport High on Thurs. Feb. 11. Central will be performing at the Great River Show Choir competition on Feb. 19-20 at the Adler Center in Davenport. (I shot this last week and at first I was bummed, I was hoping for something like the TV show Glee but instead they stood and sang at a wall. But with a little time they started into the Facebook song and loosened up and I got something I kind of liked.)
