Creepy light test

Maryland Regional Championships
Thursday night I shot the southern regional cheerleading competition at River Hill High School. Only three of the teams were from our coverage area, River Hill, Marriotts Ridge and Long Reach. Long Reach who placed third in the county, went on to place second in the region. Most of the teams weren’t in our coverage [...]
10am Update: The 2005 Presidential Inauguration
I guess you could say this was my first “important” assignment. The Howard County Times, being hyper-local, wasn’t interested in covering George W. Bush’s inauguration unless there was a local hook. So, I found some. …and what kind of photographer would I be if I didn’t look for non-assignment images? So, there are a few [...]
10am Update: I heart snow.
This is from December, 2008. Jess drew the heart, and our upstairs neighbor’s dog, Josh, was looking to make some yellow snow. I just got my new full-frame D700 and I was making as many night photos as possible. The drawback — which doesn’t really bother me in this image — is that all my [...]

10am Update: Smoking from a Sprite Bottle
So… this is our China Bus Driver. He’s smoking “something” out of a Sprite bottle. Most of us on the bus think it’s pot. This other modern dancer we met at the bus stop, Andrea, worried it was opium. Maybe this guy just likes the way Sprite makes his tobacco taste. right? Well, we didn’t [...]
