Where’s Waldo? || Spotted in action
While editing through photos from the second poms dance shoot, I noticed a rogue character pop up.

The poms squad || Photography project update
It’s early on a Saturday morning. The school is mostly deserted. Everyone is bleary eyed as they stretch in silence.
They are here to push themselves. They are here to learn a new routine. They are here to dance.
They are the poms squad.

“On with the dance…” || Photography project debut
“On with the dance, let joy be unconfined…” – Mark Twain
I embarked on a new photo project this past Saturday.
It involved a bunch of high school girls learning dance routines for their poms squad. Also included in the extravaganza was a sequence on how to do the “Worm” (which they will do all interconnected in one continuous line as seen above – impressive, no?) and me splaying out on the cafeteria floor, chin contorted uncomfortably against the linoleum to see through the viewfinder properly. (Let’s make a pact right now to not discuss what sort of microbes existed on that floor and which I consequently brought home with me.)

Ryan Jobes 5K Memorial || Editorial slideshow

WILLIAMSTOWN, W. Va. — On Dec. 18, I had the pleasure of joining an incredible group of people in West Virginia. Kind, welcoming, generous, they had come together to celebrate the life of Ryan Jobes.
Ryan died in a car accident five years ago on his way home for Christmas. He was a sophomore at the University of Richmond, an athlete on the UR track and field and cross country team, and in his short time there, he had made a huge impact on the people he met, something he did wherever he went.

Outside the action || Sports scenes
I’ve attended several sports events recently in an attempt to hone my “action shooting” (as it were), and practice photography in a capacity I don’t often dabble in. What I’m finding: I’m much more drawn to the action off the field, than what’s illuminated by the bright ol’ lights.
