Welcome To My Blog
Thank you for visiting my blog! The posts are short, sweet and to the point. Typically current photos I have taken that follow my professional and personal life. No long written paragraphs here for all of you short attention span readers. And I'm not that good of a writer anyways :-) I hope you gain a good idea of who I am thru my photography, my travels, and my humor posted here. Come back soon!
I typically only go to a few RedSox games a year. And my first game of this season will sure be one to remember as RedSox pitcher Jon Lester thru a No-Hitter. So for you non or semi baseball fans, this is very rare and considered an extraordinary accomplishment for a pitcher as only 2 a year occur on average for all of MLB. Lester and the RedSox defeated the Kansas City Royals 7-0.
An interesting side note is that Boston catcher Jason Varitek has now caught 4 no-hitters, which is the record.
On Friday, I assisted argueably the foremost sports / portrait photographer of our time, Walter Iooss of Sports Illustrated . We went to Fenway Park to photograph Red Sox closer Jon Papelbon for the magazine.
It was an intense day that started early with picking up a van full of power packs, strobes, and tons of other lighting equipment. The shoot didn't start till 3PM so after setting up we had a few extra hours to kill. Enter the Subway Sandwiches...
Here, the best part of my day wasn't working with a star athlete, nor working with an iconic photographer whose
S.I Swimsuit pictures are ingrained into every American males memory, but it had to be my eating a crummy Subway turkey sub with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and onions while sitting on the Red Sox bench in one of the most historic ballparks. And even while I am not a die hard Sox fan, the moment just could not be overlooked and was very much
appreciated.
