I exited the office early today and took in a couple of hours of sun and baseball with the Red Sox and Nationals. The Red Sox won, not that it matters in a Spring Training game. I left in the bottom of the 7th when both teams on the field were mostly guys who will not be on the MLB clubs in 24 hours.
A few random thoughts that crossed my mind as I enjoyed the game.
need to follow baseball more, and politics less. Especially this year.
$8.00 for a Miller Lite is freaking crazy. I didn't partake.
The $50 seats are nice, especially when you only paid $10 for it.
There were a lot of young kids with Dads there. However, the Dads are failing as the kids had no freaking idea about baseball. I taught the 5ish year old next to me to yell Yoooouuukkkk. What kind of Dad brings a child to a game unprepared to show proper respect to the Greek God of Walks?
California Girls may do it for the Beach Boys, but I'll take a woman in the Red Sox Jersey any day. There is no contest between the Red Sox girls and Nationals girls. The female members of Red Sox Nation win in a landslide that would make Obama - Santorum look close.
Opening Day is Thursday. Play Ball!
Appomattox, VA - Beer and NASCAR often go hand-in-hand. And with the Daytona 500 less than a week away, the town of Appomattox is already revving up.
Two dozen NASCAR beer steins are on display at the visitor's center and will be throughout the racing season. Some have been signed by legendary drivers like Bill Elliott.

I shot this portrait of Eric and Blake Frohnapfel, players for Colonial Forge High School in Stafford, for our football preview last week. I had to sit on it until in ran in the paper. I managed to avoid shooting the 20 or so portraits of the featured players but I’m sure I’ll be doing our All-Area spread this year.

Well, it’s that time of year again – football season! I spent yesterday at FedEx Field and anybody who has been there knows what a joy that can be. The media room got a fresh coat of paint, warm hot dogs and wireless internet access. So I’ve got that going for me. Which is nice. Even though it mildly upset my sensibilities to see McNabb in burgundy and gold, any football is good football.
I shot a portrait of Tim Scott, a football player from Colonial Forge High School in Stafford, to illustrate a story about college football recruiting. In retrospect, there were a few technical details I should have addressed. In particular, I think I should have hit the front of the box with a little light as well as the background to minimize that shadow a bit.
