Katie and the Governor

Katie is just starting her second week of a photojournalism internship with the Holland (Michigan) Sentinel. Last week was Holland's famous Tulip Festival, and Katie was quite busy photographing the festivities.

For those of you who are not Michiganders, the gray-haired man on the left is Michigan's new governor, Rick Snyder. He was visiting the Hudsonville Creamery, which is near Holland, to sample two new flavors created especially for him. And Katie was there to photograph the event.

Also there was her internship supervisor, who instructed her to go stand near the governor and do something crazy. So she did. And the best part? Hudsonville Ice Cream gave each of the photographers two half gallons of ice cream to take home. I think Katie's summer is getting off to a good start.

And if you want to see some of her pictures from the Tulip Festival, including a respectable photo of Governor Snyder that Katie took when she wasn't being silly, take a look here.
