Hidden gems in warehouse buildings

Cigar shop figures, vintage furniture, and Super Nintendo controllers are just a few of the many random things that can be found and bought in the auction house that I was at in Plainfield today. I photographed a writer there who was working on her 'job for a day' article. Although there were no details, one employee at this business mentioned that in the past they have acquired some of their products under unfortunate circumstances. After emptying out a house, this certain employee learned that the former family that lived in the house was murdered. If walls, or wooden old people could talk...

As soon as our quarterbacks learn what a football is there will be no stopping them

I was rather upset on Friday after I was not allowed to get a Press pass to shoot the Bears camp. Just a few months ago I hopped into my car, and made the 3 hour drive to a Barack Obama campaign rally in Indiana. I parked my car, found the 'media' entrance, and showed them my ID, which was just my school ID. They looked through my list, and told me my name wasn't on it, which I knew it wouldn't be. I told them I was shooting for my school, and after getting myself and my bag searched my the secret service, they let me in, friendly staff I must say. Thus it just seems ironic to me that I can get close access to who could potentially be the next leader of the free world and not Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton.

I really need to get a staff job somewhere. Freelancing is just not cutting it. I want a little badge that would get me access into everything, oh and the money would be nice to.
