Who doesn’t love bowling?

As most of you know, I jet from one assignment to another most days. I jump from elementary schools to wrecks to sporting events to everywhere in between. Wednesday, I photographed an ACT camp, some road work and construction on a local college campus.

It was the assignment for 5 o’clock that was the kicker (and byfar the best art): I spent some time with contestants from this weekend’s Miss Hospitality event at the local bowling alley Wednesday night.

More images can be found at the Hattiesburg American Web site, and you can be sure I will be posting some images from the Friday and Saturday night portions of the competition.
