A local health center in Flint is closing its doors and relocating across town making it hard for many mothers who utilize the WIC program and have little transportation to get care for their children.

he's going to be ok.

This poor guy's oxygen tank caught on fire and then his chair caught on fire and then his wall/curtains caught on fire and then he fell out of his chair and couldn't move... BUT the fire department got there quickly and they got him out safely and saved his house. I think that this is pretty great and maybe someday I can do a story about some of the great saves the emergency personnel pull off that no one ever hears about.

Found Objects.

While leaving an assignment at an elementary school and I noticed these windchime type deals made out of recycled things (awesome.) but then I also noticed that this giant Ford SUV had a little purple pony placed on its bumper (even more awesome.) As I was photographing it the owner came out of the school and I pointed out his new pony friend to him that he happily took home to his young daughter for a present.
