Tim Webb Photography, Kentucky, Corporate, Commercial & Editorial PhotographerPhoto by Tim Webb With all this talk about Pitino and the post-game crowd at Rupp this past Saturday, it reminds me of a photo that I took after the 2008 game. A fan in the student section came over to the rail, with his hand held out, like he wanted a high-five, and kept yelling, enthusiastically (as if he liked him), “Coach Pitino, Coach Pitino!” As Pitino walked by and held out his hand, the fan pulled his hand back and yelled, “Psych!”

Photo by Tim Webb I used to do an on-going photo series called What Mankind Left Behind. The rules were it had to include things that were man made, abandoned, and once part of someone's livelihood. I even had a collection of it hanging in EKU's Library for several years. While I've gotten away from it, I saw something a few weeks ago on my way back home from Clay City along KY Hwy. 82 that I couldn't pass up. It was an old house that has been abandoned for several years, and it is finally starting to fall in. The front walls have fallen down, exposing some clothes that were hanging on the second floor, like they were put there yesterday. It's just another example of how time marches on, with or without us!

Covering a funeral is always hard, but it was an honor and a pleasure to document the funeral, and events leading up to the funeral, of Richmond Police officer Daniel Ellis for his family, knowing that much of that day would "be a blur."
