Last night was the first night of a week of Lexington’s Junior League Horse show. After nine years of working at the Herald-Leader, this was somehow my first night to ever cover the event. It was a nice break from the equine events I’m used to covering. Because of our deadlines, I was only able to cover the first four classes before I had to stop and send photos. Going early helps, though. The three photos here were shot before any competitors actually hit the ring.

I like what you and Charles Bertram are doing with your Dateline projects, I’m just curious about the background on features.
Since I can’t see the paper in Wyoming how is the feature being played and also what is your search for the subjects and approach to the subject.
Keep them coming. It feels like what Newspaper photography should feel like. It’s time coverage of the other 85% of the population begins to get documented.
