Part three of my Herald-Sun series takes part mostly when interns got to rule the photo department. Pretty awesome I shall say. Because not only did we rule, Harry Potter 7.2 came out, temperatures busted into the 100s and Durham practically melted. Although shooting inside for the American Dance Festival and butter beer from the Harry Potter Party at the Southwest Regional Library kept me from melting after double heat features (feature pictures illustrating extreme heat; usually include pools, kids, sweat and old folks) attacked!
