I captured my favorite image of the week on March 8.
Stockyard ghost tour guide Jacob Johnson posed cross-armed in front of the famous “Stockyards Station” sign on East Exchange Avenue, where he frequently led guests through ghost tours.
In this image, I tried to capture a pose and emotion that shows his character. What added to this as my favorite photo is that I forgot my SD card so it was captured solely on my iPhone.
I shot this image centered with the sign about 8 p.m. — but despite it being late, the lights and grandeur of the Stockyards lit my subject for me.
