Mystic - Not unlike the people in this photo, it maybe a week before I update again. I will be off for a couple of days which is a good thing due to a large shake up at work. I need some time to reflect and hopefully not refract (though there already has been plenty of that) Anyhow, I have some time off, and if so inspired, will post during the week. If not, see you in December.
Just some football (I know...again) from the two games I shot yesterday.
Thanksgiving football in shirt sleeves. Last year I had five layers on plus a full rain suit due to temps in the 40s and a monsoon of a rain storm. Two years ago it was in the 20s with a fresh snow on the ground. This year I would have been comfortable in a t-shirt. 65 degrees and sunny. Welcome to New England...mind you I aint complaining!
East Hartford - A little college football action can be good for the soul, especially when the team that you are covering is in control of the game. UConn whooped Syracuse 30-7. The top shot was their first touchdown of the game. Below are some assorted action photos. It is nice when everything works.
And just think, they held this position for five minutes!
Norwich - Friday Nov. 16th - I was sent to cover an anti-Iraq war protest. I arrived to find 8 protestors. March on Washington this aint, but I still liked the shot.
Noank - Wednesday Nov. 14th - Feature with dramatic clouds. Unlike the top photo, these guys gave me their names.
East Lyme - Friday Nov. 16th - Speaking of dramatic clouds, this is the sky that greeted me after photographing a flu shot clinic tonight. I did not submit this shot, but it did bring a smile to my face. After several B+W photos, I guess I wanted some color.
Here are some shots from the last few days that I wanted to post. Above - The Waterford girls soccer team ends their season by going down in the quarter-final match against Berlin. As much as I look for the crying players at a moment like this one, the player in the middle with the 1000 yard stare really got my attention. She is only a sophomore however, and has two more years to go to the states.
East Lyme - Election night - This is the East Lyme first selectman elect getting the news that we won be several thousand votes. His daughter had been hovering while he was getting the numbers over the phone. We ran a different and more news-worthy shot but I liked this one. Just a cute moment.
East Lyme - This was from the follow up story of a really horrible accident that had occurred the day before. Thousands of gallons of fuel oil had been spilled and we were checking on possible contamination to neighboring wells. The mom in this photo did not want to be photographed but did not mind me photographing her daughter...which is good because, I was not interested in photographing the mom anyway. (Link to accident photos...click here)
Westerly, RI - And finally after being brushed by the remnants of hurricane Noel, I was out to get storm photos. Now, after growing up on the north shore of Massachusetts, I know what BIG storm waves look like...and I have not seen one since moving to Southeastern Conn. Mainly this is due to Long Island Sound, so on occasioin I drive over to the RI shore to at least see what is rolling in off of the Atlantic.

Norwich - A little volleyball action tonight. Good photos that were hard fought. Bringing lights is a necessary evil sometimes. Tonight all they wanted to do is argue with me. It must be fun for the other photographers present to watch me change and tweek the lighting every two minutes. One was brighter than the other even though they were on the same setting. More fun was never had by a single person. Despite my occasional frustration with The Day's old light kit, it is ALWAYS worth going through. There is no comparison to studio stobes verses overhead lighting. Stobes are always better.
I took other celebration photos but I liked No.15 in this shot. In a way this photo is all about her reaction. It looks as if she might fly away.
