Congregation Disbands

Long time no post.

Here's a gallery I put together today: http://www.tri-cityherald.com/galleries/gallery/428348.html




Also, my blog: http://tricityherald.com/behindthefold is now on the front page of the Tri-City Herald's website. Check it out, click "Recommend" if you like it and comment away so the brass doesn't regret the decision.

Two Basketball Galleries and an extra photo (for free!)

I forgot to post this link from a couple days ago: http://www.tri-cityherald.com/1418/gallery/411529.html

Here's the one from tonight: http://www.tri-cityherald.com/1418/gallery/415072.html


And here's a shot for the front of Saturday's page for a lighted boat parade.

Holeee Craap

Woof.

What a night.

I think I've ODed on volleyball.

On the up side, my photos will be published on Saturday in: The Tri-City Herald, The Spokesman Review, The Seattle Times, The Tacoma News Tribune and The Bellingham Herald.

I hope they spell my name right...

Here are my four favorites from tonight:

Graduation Galleries

One's for the 20th anniversary DARE class: http://www.tri-cityherald.com/galleries/gallery/388743.html

And the other is for Liz Evett, a high school senior with terminal leukemia: http://www.tri-cityherald.com/galleries/gallery/390172.html

Love is in the air

I made a fan!

Somebody was so moved by my photo in today's paper, he wrote a letter to the editor:

Dear Editor:

I laughed at the Army Officer who referred to the paper as the "Tri-City Tribune", but maybe he was only forecasting something better for the area. I often refer to it as the Birdcage Liner, and Friday's paper exemplifies why I use that designation.

On Thursday evening the US Army Field Band Jazz Ambassadors played a great concert at the Kennewick High auditorium. What coverage did they get from your paper? One of the absolutely poorest pictures I've seen, in fact better pictures appear in high school publications. Did the paper provide any information on the band, or members of the band? No, instead we were treated to half a page about the search for a football coach and a full page on the woes of bordello workers in Nevada!

Congatulations (sic) on the poor showing. Once again coverage of any good things in the community in the fine arts goes by the way.

Here's the photo:


It's not a great photo, maybe not even good, but he was a bit harsh, methinks. The letter is now printed and posted on my cubicle wall.

Soccer in the rain

Brought me back to shooting in Oregon.

Soccer Gallery

Here's how I capped off a long day of shooting a flooded crawl space, a WWII vet, grieving family members/a disembodied ear, and soccer:

Two galleries.

I'm tired.

Finally, a good game

After shooting blowout after blowout this season, I finally got to cover a good game. My hope is that my photos convey this excitement. Here are a couple of my favorites from the night. I tried out the 200/1.8 with the 1.4x teleconverter tonight. I'm not terribly pleased with how it worked.

Another week another couple galleries...

In other news, I can't find a folder of photos I thought I'd backed up.

Feck.

Here are a couple galleries I put together today. Sorry for the lack of photos, but I had to get outta the office.

They're short.

I promise.

Double Gallery Saturday

I covered two big-ass high school events today.

Here, Richland High School marching band members get a squirt of lemon and lime juice to keep their mouths from drying out prior to competition.

I was looking forward to this after all those Jolesch work-for-hire gigs, but ran into an overzealous field manager. I'll blog more thoroughly about it on Behind the Fold soon.

You can see a gallery of the Cavalcade of Bands at: http://www.tri-cityherald.com/galleries/gallery/339893.html


And I got to shoot cross country for the second week in a row. I didn't approach it with as much gusto as last time, mostly because of all the running I had to do in order to cover the marching band competition, but I got a few shots I liked and put together a very short gallery: http://www.tri-cityherald.com/1418/gallery/339899.html

Rainy Night Lights

When it started raining on me while shooting a football game in Burbank, some Oregon nostalgia crept up.

Until it started smelling like diarrhea was falling from the sky.

Here are a couple from tonight:

Also, here's one from last night's vollyball:

Kids love getting candy thrown at them!
