Playoff Beard Time

Road trip to Greenville and some ECHL playoff hockey with the Greenville Road Warriors vs the Kalamazoo Wings.  Shooting this game was a challenge at best, the area still had the old style plexiglass and no shooting hole, but a great night of shooting some late season hockey.  Thanks to Mike Burton for the hospitality and the invitation to assist him with the game photos.   Here are a few samples from the game.

The place to be in Bethesda on Friday night

Always a great crowd at the annual Prep vs Landon game and this year did not disappoint.   This this game is usually held on a weekday afternoon and this year the game was held on Friday evening at the Georgetown Prep campus.  One of my favorites and here are a few samples.   See the rest of the game shots at www.powerplayphotography.   Also featured on DC Sports Fan and at Inside Lacrosse photo of the week.  

Then new .com for the f/stop crowd

As was inevitable, the more common and generic top level domains (ie. .com, and .net) are becoming scarce as more and more domains are registered each day.  Earlier this year, ICANN (the group in charge of managing domain names) released the “.photography” domain name.  I felt lucky to be one of the first to stake-out this new domain and was able to register LAX.photography and LACROSSE.photography.   Stay tuned and look-out for my new web site dedicated to lacrosse photography.   

Below are a few from the St. Stephens and St. Agnew Spring Fling. Great girls action with 14 high school teams from across the country, including; St. Stephen's & St. Agnes School, Loyola Academy (Illinois), Our Lady of Good Counsel High School, St. Anthony's High School (New York), The Academy of the Holy Cross, Connelly School of the Holy Child, The Rumson Country Day School (New Jersey), Collegiate School, Archbishop John Carroll High School (Pennsylvania), Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School, Milton High School (Georgia), St. Anne's Belfield School, Agnes Irwin School (Pennsylvania), and Oakton High School.

New Season Underway

For an early season game, you never know what to expect with the weather.   Not a bad day with heavy rain at game time, but at least it was somewhat warm.  Other than getting nailed by stray shot, great day and happy with my results.   Here are a few samples that I shot for Inside Lacrosse. 

Cover, Inside Cover

You ever wonder why a photo editor picks one vs the other?  Sometimes my favorites are never the final selected and other times we are one the same page.  Mini cover shot on the upcoming IL 2014 Yearbook with one of my images from the NCAA's at Lucas Oil Stadium Indianapolis. Was this basic photo selected because of the clear Duke name on the jersey or the clean background (for easy removal)? 

Mud, Fire, Beer, Photo Fun

What a great way to spend a fall Saturday morning, this was my second time to shoot the Rugged Maniac (High Point Farm in Clarksburg MD).  Shot the mud pit section of the run, the early runners had it easy, and by the afternoon the mud pit was a foot of sloppy, thick muck.  See more of the photos here.   

Thank You To Our Military Veterans

On this Veterans Day I wanted to thank the men and women who have served in our country’s military, and who fought to defend the freedoms we all enjoy today. I grew up on Army bases all over the world as my Dad served our country 25 years so this is a special day to say thanks for your service and sacrifice.
