DAY 66: SEX OFFENDER INVESTIGATION

A few years ago, Marion County citizens realized - in collective horror - that there was a 'sex offender' living right in town, directly across from Lebanon Elementary School!

The Lebanon Enterprise dutifully published a big article about it.

And then one day I was riding by the rented digs of the offender (which I often did, as he was right in my neighborhood) and spotted Enterprise reporters on the door step. So naturally, I took a picture of the story within a story.

I felt the reporters were nervous. And that they did not appreciate my photographing them just when they'd rung the doorbell hoping to get comments from the local sex offender.

But I thought I should take the picture, and I did.

Not enough is written about the stories behind the stories, I think.
