I've been freelancing for my local paper, The Advocate, for a few weeks now. I love being able to work in my home county, there is nothing like telling the stories of your neighbors. My editor was gracious enough to give me the front of B1 for a photo page that documents our community. So, each week I go out and find something cool going on in Union County to photograph. For my first installment I went to an end of summer bubble festival at the Uniontown branch of the public library.

Callen Henshaw, 3 of Morganfield, Ky., is placed inside of a large bubble that was formed with a toy hoop.

JT Powell, 10 of Uniontown, Ky., forms bubbles with a crate.

Miya Powell, 9 of Uniontown, Ky., laughs with her mother as she tries to make a large bubble with her hands.
