In June, I posted photos from a Zombie Car Wash. We'll those creepy photos hit the streets and the Internet today for the Lincoln Journal Star. Hooray! Check out how zombies benefit animals.

I can honestly say I wouldn't have thought I would be taking pictures of zombies, but it happened. My next assignment also deals with clean, shiny cars. This Saturday I will hit the Ford Lincoln Mercury Car Show in the north part of Lincoln. To be exact, it's the 10th Annual Midwest Ford Clubs MCA Mustang and All Ford Show. . . .

Back from the dead to wash cars, zombies took the streets hailing in cars and shining them up for owners willing to let the walking dead near their vehicle. Luckily, these zombies wash cars for a good cause. The Fear Crafters club members had their first car wash to raise money for their club on June 23-24, 2012.

Check out the Zombie Car Wash from my lens. . . .

Every four years, gymnasts from across the world strive to do one thing, make the Olympic team. This year, that test narrows down to a few more weeks. Along the road to London was the Visa Championships in St. Louis, Mo., and I was there with Cole.

You can check out my photos in the Photography section of the site or check out each of these albums:

For the whole day, I smelled like pancakes. I stood right next to the griddle as the batter bubbled and formed into round, delicious circles. Those pancakes went to raise money for the Cornhusker Kiwanis Club and its causes, such as Reading is Fundamental and the Food Bank of Lincoln's Backpack Program.

More than 1,000 people attended Pancakes in the Park, breaking record attendance. By the time I left at 10:30 a.m., 600 of those people had already filed through the line. . . .

On Friday night, I get to watch my brother, Skye, graduate and venture into the world of wind energy. Across the county the wind energy industry has exploded, posting the busiest first quarter ever according to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). This increase brings the U.S. wind capacity to 48,611 MW.

One slight problem is the Production Tax Credit (PTC) hanging in the balance. With it, the growth will continue. Without the tax credit, the wind energy will struggle to grow, dropping off in jobs and watts generated. Good new for Skye is that in that booming first quarter, 1,340 MW were under contraction in Kansas, ranking it the highest state in the U.S. Texas, Oklahoma, California and Illinois finished out the top five. . . .
