There is a lot of talk in the media about distracted driving. Cell phones, maps, in-car entertainment, GPS, texting. You rarely hear anything about Nail Polish.
I was asked to go shoot at the courthouse in Waukegan on Wednesday to cover a case involving a distracted driver who allegedly hit and killed a motorcyclist at a stop light as she had been distracted by painting her nails. The charge was reckless homicide. I was looking for reaction from the family of victim and if possible the defendants family.
Court is always difficult. More so here in Illinois since we aren't allowed into the courtrooms to shoot as I have been able to in Florida and Kansas, so you have to keep an eye on the doors and keep in contact with the reporter inside the courthouse.
Anyway, this is from day one. The photo didn't run in the paper due to lack of space and I don't believe it ever made it online. To read more about the story follow the link.
