Open space

I can only imagine how amazing it would be as a child to live a farm and have the vast open space to play and explore.

Hindsight

After a series of complications on my part, my Sunday Lifestyles piece "A way of life" had to be thrown together rather quickly. By quickly I mean 3 days which seems like a long time but its really not when you have so many things to do: photography, write the story, cutlines and online slideshows. I overlooked a few important images to the story which was written after the layout was completed and in place. Overall the images are weak but help the reader better visualize the story.

This is the calf talked about in the story that's been hand raised by the Ramona and Catherine.

On The hunt

Look at this character. This is a news man on the hunt for a lasting image. Ex-Daily Progress now Roanoke Times photographer Matt Gentry had no idea he'd walked into one of my shots at the end of the game on Saturday. Anyone who knows him knows he's a great guy. See you next year Matt.

One Last Look

Before walking into the tunnel, Virginia Tech quarterback Sean Glennon took a moment to look back at the field after the 33-21 win over Virginia. It was a moment I would have taken had I been in his shoes. Despite the outcome, I thought it was a good game for Virginia.

Traditions

I've come to really enjoy photographing the annual Blessing of the Hounds at Grace Episcopal Church in Keswick, VA. Maybe it's the thrill of the hunt or maybe it's the fact that it's become a tradition for me. Here are a few extra images from the event with a surprise celebrity guest.

Anxiously Waiting

Greetings from the Hounds
