Doing More With Less in Radford

By From http://blog.mikemorones.com • Jun 4th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Photography.Local, Sports

I’m in Radford, VA for the annual VHSL spring sports championships. My allergies are kicking up (or I caught the swine flu), and the forecast is fairly ugly. I decided to skip trying out any remote cameras as I have had little to no success with them this season. Might as well keep it simple. […]

On Monday friends, family and fellow Rangers gathered at Massaponax High School to remember Cpl. Ryan McGhee who was killed in Iraq on May 13.  Through a variety of spoken testimonials and slideshows, those left behind told  a story about a young man who had likely experienced the spectrum of what humanity has to offer.

AA Track

E&P selected a picture I shot last week at the dignified transfer of Cpr. Ryan McGhee as their Photo of the Week. I appreciate the attention though I wish it wasn’t for such a sad photo.

Marine Corps Historic Half in FXBG

By From http://blog.mikemorones.com • May 18th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Photography.Local, Sports

I suppose it is fair to say it may have been a half  marathon but a full dose of frustration.  Aside from getting up before five, I was looking at 100% chance of rain and a course not easily navigated due to road closures. I made sure to bring rain gear for the cameras which […]
