Gametime! @ Gettysburg

01.13.15 - Gettysburg, PA: It's often a kind of drive-by capture attempt on my end to try to get this shot. I'm crouching holding the body by the vertical grip upside down at my feet, on the floor between someone's legs. Not exactly a time tested method of fine craftsmanship. More often than not I'm out of focus, or unlucky and the center subject has their back to me, or the exposure is blown, or there's a leg in my way, or I'm just too late. But with the Gettysburg Men's Basketball team I've had some good fortune and landed this shot with clarity for a couple of years, and ironically with the same center subject - Senior Captain Joe Emerusabe. I'm glad when it works … & then we're all smiles.

Platinum Milestone

11.09.14 - Winfield, MD: In 1944 as World War II was nearing an end, Ruth & Herb Shipley were married in a county clerks office in rural Maryland. No time for a fancy reception, no dancing, no cake. Seventy years later they & their family are blessed to have had true celebration with a fully grown family, great grandkids, bluegrass music, and a little cake cutting. Well done Shipleys!

Haverford Men's Cross Country Finish Big

11.01.14 - Haverford, PA: A great moment yesterday at the Centennial Conference Men's Cross Country championships as Haverford wins the race finishing their top three; Joel Christian, David Roza, & Charlie Marquardt celebrate bringing in the rest of their team. Haverford scored 21 points claiming the team victory, and Junior Marquardt legged out the 17th individual title for the Fords in the conference's history (right, pointing).
