10am Update: Sometimes you just gotta shoot it.
Saturday, September 26, 2009.
My assignment was to shoot the football game. But this kid was too cool to ignore.
The 10am Update is a regular feature showcasing some of the best images from my archive.
Creepy light test
I was building my lighting set up for a recent shoot and it resulted in a really cool, dark, creepy image.
The best thing about it, is that it gave me lighting ideas for my upcoming Athletes of the Year shoots. Sunmee Huh is lit with two gridded alien bees to her right and left.
Under the light
Reservoir’s David Kuper, bottom, lost to River Hill’s Evan Shebel 11-2 during the 140 weight match. Reservoir defeated guest River Hill 42-16 Tuesday, January 5, 2010.
Here’s the Howard County Times story.
Lesson learned: when the winning team is depicted by one of the kids who lost their match, there’s a good chance the sports editor will [...]
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: Fashion Battle
Reigning Fashion Battle Champs, Laurel High School, hand over the crown during the 2nd annual contest held at the University of Maryland College Park’s Tawes Theatre Saturday January 15, 2005.

Test Shot
If no one else is around, this is how I sometimes test out my lighting set up.
Truth be told, I had a fun Maryland Family shoot article about old wives tales, specifically about how childrens’ faces are threatened to “stick.”
Just to be on the safe side.

Light the Emotion!
Ben Bender linked to an article on Emotional Lighting when he commented on my recent post, Shoot the Emotion!
So, since I love to use lighting, I think it’s worth discussing.
Now, this may not be the best photo to describe emotional lighting, buuuut, it’s by far the most convenient. I shot it Saturday.
I gotta ask: is [...]
Rosh Hashana
A new year for Jewish people starts with Rosh Hashana. Rabi Liz Bolton incorporated a recent serious illness she overcame into her “high holy day message,” during Congregation Beit Tikvah’s Erev Rosh Hashana service. Dealing with her illness, the specifics of which she was not comfortable making public, reminded her about what is important in [...]

A Turkey Vulture
…at the Patapsco Valley State Park Department of Natural Resources “Scales and Tales” display at the Clark’s Elioak Farm Saturday, October 10, 2009. None of the animals are named because the park rangers and naturalists want to impress that the animals are wild and tagging a name might impress the idea that these animals could [...]

The police department now has a fleet of five segways which max out at 12.5 mph for up to 24 miles, which can outrun and outlast almost any criminal on the run.
