79 degrees and sunny

I always remember to post on days that are freakishly warm in these last days of winter.


sweet urban landscape from 2nd and Lehigh.


A man takes a nap outside of City Hall around 1pm.


These kindergarten students were really excited about Flag Day.

Today was quite nice

I started the day off with a little Mayor Street. This photo didn't run because, well, it has no journalistic reason whatsoever. But I like it, so that's why I made the blog right? To put up the fun stuff. So here we go.



I also photographed my two favorite high school teams. They competed again for something like the fifth time today. Villa Maria took MSJ by something like 30 points. It was sad for them, I felt bad.

Sports Guide Fun

We do these pre-season sports guides at the Bulletin. So we drive all over Pennsylvania photographing private and catholic high school sports. Everything, we don't discriminate. It's pretty interesting actually. I went to Plymouth Meeting today and it was beautiful. Here is a photo of some baseball fun in Haverford the other day. I used to hate sports more than anything and now I'm trying to embrace the genre.

sometimes you get lucky.

Today I heard that John McCain was going to be at the Rittenhouse Hotel about a half hour before he was scheduled to be there. I was about 45 minutes away and figured there was no chance I'd make it. So I rushed down anyway, ran into the hotel and they said he hadn't arrived yet. So I ran back out, looked for a parking spot, parked and ran back to the hotel and as I come in, the TV guys are alerting that he's going to be coming in the hallway I was walking down. Seconds later, there he was. I thought this was interesting because things like this happen so often in photoj and I love those moments when everything just works out.

work work work.

Since I have returned from NSC in Rhode Island, I have been trying to process and apply everything I've learned. I have been shooting every assignment like a story and I am finding a lot of success in that. Also, I am updating my website. I am trying to decide on a home page image on my website, feel free to send feedback. Also I am posting photos from two recent assignments.

Eileen Waloff, a close friend to the family of Michael Levin comforts Cilli Solarski, Levin's
grandmother (bubby) on Sunday at the Tifereth Israel Synagogue in Bensalem after the
showing of the documentary "A Hero in Heaven." The movie was made in honor of
Michael Levin who was killed in combat while serving in the Israeli army.

Here's a little irony for ya, Fattah's sign falls down while announcing his support from the
stagehands union at Merriam Theater on March 12.

stories stories, everywhere.

I spent this past week at a very inspirational Northern Short Course in Rhode Island. I focused on learning what this "multimedia" idea was and realized that it is here, now, and everyone is incorporating it into their daily work. So I've decided that I will make it a part of mine, oh and switch to Canon, so if anyone is in the market for Nikon gear, let me know. I made some additions to my portfolio, so I am going to post a few of those images.



This image is from the Tattoo Convention last year. A group of performers accepted their tips
by having members of the audience staple them to their bodies.

Turkey Bowl, 2006. Rain, Mud, you know the drill


I got to meet Pro-Life Anderson, who legally changed his name, was in attendance at the
Pro-Life Rally this past January in Washington, DC. Anderson is from Savannah, GA.

I love wrestling.

I also love miudino capoeira.

Flower Woah.

I popped in real quick to the Flower Show. Everything was so pretty.

basketball is not so bad

So I went to this game at Villanova and realized that shooting sports isn't so bad when the light is right.

Urban landscapes

The image of City Hall I last posted reminded me of this little side project I've been working on. My friend is a fine art painter of urban landscapes and he got this idea in my head to just look around in my travels, so I have been. I took this photo on that freakishly warm weekend after the New Year, somewhere West on South Street.
