countyIn the summertime, our specialty is photographyAugust 11, 2008 - 10:20am — Mathias BadenMy summer is spent shooting photos. There are lots of festivals and other events going on in and around Jordan during the summertime. Most recently, Mark Olson of the Chaska Herald and I shot the Scott Carver Threshers Festival.
