I'm finishing my final semester in school strong, but sometimes I'm not able to get out and photograph. However, I was able to shoot a SIU Softball doubleheader on Saturday and the aftermath of a house fire in Carbondale on Sunday. Enjoy the pictures!

During the extinguishing of a house fire on 208 W. Hospital Drive in Carbondale, the Carbondale Police Department brought residents of the house food and drinks. Six people and a dog were inside the house, nicknamed "Animal House", when the owner of the Dairy Queen next door notified them that the house had caught on fire. Other than a minor injury to a firefighter, no other serious injuries were reported.
