I got a last minute request to photograph Trinity’s student music show a few weeks ago. I was hesitant. It was the night of their state championship football game which I was photographing. I knew I’d have 3000+ photos from that and would have spent about 4 hours taking pictures. The idea of adding several […]

Road Trip Photography
When we go on long road trips my wife insists on driving. If I’m not sleeping I tend to try to take pictures. It’s an interesting challenge. Much of the time we’re on the highway moving along at 70mph and that makes it a bit like reverse sports photography. You have to see the thing […]

They’re also taken with the 85mm fixed lens which means no zooming to compensate for slow reflexes at 70mph.1 It does make the trip go much faster when you’re playing this […]

We went to explore the headwaters of the Chickahominy River which is not far from our house. The skimboard attempts were semi-successful. I remain fascinated with these trees. Tried drinking their sap one time. It was not maple syrup. The reverse of sports photography is trying to take pictures while driving down the road at […]
