Ryan

I met Ryan Mahoney three or so years ago when we did a story on him because he was a make a wish kid after a few more stories we lost touch when the reporter I was working with left the paper. Yesterday I found out that Ryan lost his battle with cancer and passed away two days ago, in the short time I knew him he was a bright and energetic kid with a bit of a mischievous side.

I wish I had gotten to know him better.

Street portrait

Went out to do a man on the street style story with a reporter when the finical crisis first hit, we talked to a lot of people and I did a lot of street portraits here are a few that I liked.

Night fire

Another one from last month

Late halloween

I am spending some of Thanksgiving day morning looking through my archives, found this one from a hayride last month thought it was worth sharing.

Remembrance Day 2008

Here are a few from this afternoon, it's been a while... looks like I have some catching up to do.

Cyclorama Opening

Just one from the opening of the newly restored cyclorama in Gettysburg

VB

I haven't been posting much lately life has gotten away from me again and, of course, I have been pretty much shooting like poop for the past couple of weeks. But here is something graphic from yesterdays volleyball match that I kind of liked...

Hanover Football

Beer

I like beer and so does this guy.
I tried to do something interesting with the lighting and failed to come up with something creative but for some reason I think the straight forward approach works fine.

Just throwing this out there

I am not sure weather this is anything or not, but am going to put it out there and see...
I might just be tired.

Accident

Got sent to a particularly bad accident today, 4 cars, fire and a busy road...

Specter

Arlen came to do one of his town hall meetings in Gettysburg yesterday.

Kate Lee

This is 15 year old Kate Lee performing for her first time at the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival. We followed her around for a couple of days and put together a little story. I'll post the SS once i get it all together.

Moon

Ok I know I said I was not going to post on here for a while but I am excited about this snap I got of the moon rising over the festival tonight, just had to share...

Bluegrass

It is that time again, the Gettysburg Bluegrass festival, I am there for the next three days and will be abandoning Just Because for The Gettysburg Bluegrass Blog so check it out and help drive up our hit count.

Pilgrims

Here are a few from a religious pilgrimage last week...

Hail

I have not been in a hail storm since I was a kid. This one happened while the wife and I were at my parents house, something told me to take my camera out of the car when we got there but I didn't so I had to settle for the aftermath.

Dancer

Been shooting a lot of portrats latlely here is one from yesterday...

Bees

Had the chance to go to the local Penn State Ag Extension office back in June to take a look at some the the bees that they have been finding around their test sites after they stopped using pesticides that nuke everything...
pretty cool
Shot through a microscope of course...

Off to war

A portrait of some local soldiers home after basic training and leaving for Iraq in the next six months. I know a outlet mall is a strange place for a portrait, they were suppose to be recruiting while they were home on leave but every time we went to catch up with them something happen, so I had to settle.

Fire

Here are a couple from a fire a few weeks ago.
I like it when I can get there just after the fire department.

Steve's Shoes

Ok, so this is weird I know, but there is a reporter here at the paper who I go on a lot of assignments with and he has an interesting choice in foot apparel. Well it started with one frame and just snowballed from there.
So here it is the first edition of Steve's Shoes.
