Slight language warning:

Aside from one more portrait and a couple mugshots I’ve finished with the fall’s All-Area series. I tried to go fairly simple and while a couple of the frames are above-average, most are only good enough. So, next season I’m thinking I should plan BIG or maybe leave it to another photographer to apply their [...]

I didn’t have much worth posting this past week - all I shot were some pre-Thanksgiving features including a teacher dressed up in a turkey suit. It was pretty funny and I got a halfway-decent photo out of it. I just wish photographing in schools wasn’t such a pain. Some schools have opt-in forms regarding [...]

Instead of regurgitating pictures from last week’s Skins/Cowboys game, I want to relate an infuriating story and one of the things that gets under my skin while covering pro games. It seems like every season by this time I begin to get a little burned out on NFL coverage. I shouldn’t gripe, especially since I [...]

I wrapped up the weekend with the Redskins hosting the Cleveland Browns. I would have to say the game was underwhelming at best. I typically like to shoot football with a 400mm lens and teleconverter but yesterday Fredman and I switched things up and he parked himself in the endzone with the long glass while [...]

I spent day 2 of this weekend’s trifecta covering the UVA-UNC game down in Charlottesville. For much of the game it looked like #18 North Carolina was going to eke out a victory but UVA tied it up with less than a minute to go, forcing overtime. They held the Tar Heels to a field [...]

I’m (foolishly??) undertaking another football trifecta - prep, college, pro - this weekend and kicked it off with the cross-county rivalry between Courtland and Chancellor. It was a good game, lots of action and opportunity for pictures. Whether I made the most of it or not is debatable… And once again, I must trumpet the [...]

Richmond Times-Dispatch:
The Washington Redskins will bring in unsigned punters Tuesday to audition for the job currently held by rookie Durant Brooks.
Brooks drew the ire of fans with a short punt from the end zone in the third quarter of Sunday’s 19-17 loss to the St. Louis Rams. After the Rams failed to move the ball, [...]

They’ve been mathematically eliminated for the wild-card slot.
They’re 51–85 if you haven’t been paying attention.

What moron schedules a game against #3 USC? How insane do you have to be?
I was predicting a 30 point win for USC — they managed to win by 45! ESPN:
Mark Sanchez threw three touchdown passes in his first game as Southern California’s true No. 1 quarterback and the third-ranked Trojans rolled over Virginia 52-7 [...]
