Cornbelters take down the Rascals
A quick escape from the home repair season on Saturday night took me out to CornCrib stadium on the campus of Heartland Community College, also the home of the Normal CornBelters professional baseball team. The CornBelters have had a pretty tough season, but on this night they had a bit of a batting revival in the first and second innings. Seven total runs in the first two innings. Four of those runs were the result of 2, 2-run homers. Patrick McKenna belted it over the fence in both the 1st and 2nd innings, each time with Tyler Wiesemyer in scoring position.
It was a nice night at the Crib.

IWU Titans time 2
Congrats to the Illinois Wesleyan Titan Basketball teams. Yes, both the IWU Titan Men's and the IWU Titan Women's teams this season have broke the barrier in Division III to make it to the respective NCAA tournaments.
Seems like I can never get enough free time to cover them too many times, but I generally manage to get there once or twice a season. If you never consider attending, you should. Especially when they are at home in the Shirk Center. The closeness of the seating creates a very exciting and competitive environment. I don't think you will find a gym where you can get closer to the action without being in it. Add the pep band you get some real atmosphere.
Oh, one more plus - at least in my eyes... I've never seen a break for a media time out! The game just keeps moving at the participants pace. Keeps the raw playing power and emotion in the game. Players, coaches and officials may see it different.
Congrats to all the Titans.
Ladies first!

Down time project
Well, the late spring and summer are generally down time for sports action photography in Bloomington Normal, at least for me. In late June, I normally cover the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association All Star games, but other than that I get to work on personal projects. Those could be anything from home repairs, car updates to photo shoots.
One photo project I work on when I get time and some good weather and light is my collection of landmarks in the Bloomington Normal area. See the slideshow below. Recently added were some shots from downtown. The old McLean County Courthouse, now the Mclean County Museum of History and the State Farm Downtown building and a few others in that vicinity were my recent takes. Also some stitched panoramics of Miller Park on Bloomington's west side.
Downtown is of real interest. It's been dying an agonizing death for years. I'm sure there are people that have moved in to town a dozen years ago that have never been down there!. The old buildings have some real character and many have very interesting personalities and features. I'll try to get some more before the down time is over.
