Fletcher Floodin

Fletcher Big Spin
So I shot this sequence with Fletcher about a month ago at this Museum in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Those who watch the news or read the newspaper have undoubtedly seen photos of the flood and/or read stories about it. When we shot the photo the river was getting pretty high and I remember Eric saying it's the highest he remember seeing it. Tonight I was looking at some photos online of the floods and came across this.

Church

Same place, stairs nearly submerged.

My Friend and fellow photog Mike Stenerson sent me this shot of my Alma Mater Iowa City, Lower city park and Dubuque st. The circle is the where the skatepark is/was and will once be again.

Iowa City Flood

If the possibility is there don't hesitate to lend a hand one way or another. With the way the weather's been it probably won't be soon till you'll need the favor in return.

As a newborn, Sam's earlobe was plagued with being bent upwards and the doctors recommended having surgery to fix it. His mother, instead, opted to tape his ear to his neck, fixing it sans surgery.
