Still getting set up and settled in at the RTD.  This week was a bit on the slow side but things should start to pick up soon

Anyway!

Not summer til the pool opens, business bros talkin’ business, the very best librarian in town, raspberry farming, and 11 year old golf wunderkind Caroline Curtis laying the smackdown on women 4 times her age to place 2nd in the Richmond Women’s Golf Association championship

Spent this weekend covering the Virginia State Semifinal + Championship soccer games for the Times-Dispatch - along with an excessive amount of generic-ish headbutting and kicking images, I actually came away with some stuff I liked from the edges and off the field…

Central Region Soccer/Baseball + some fun stuff on the side

Renew Richmond, a non-profit dedicated to educating the Richmond Community on the importance of nutritious, locally produced organic food, helped organize Richmond’s March Against Monsanto on May 25, 2013.  Led by John Lewis, the march sought to raise public awareness about the dangers of Genetically Modified/Enhanced Crops.  Marchers began on Thompson Street, working their way through the Cary Town District distributing flyers and literature.  Similar events took place in 36 different countries and nearly 250 cities internationally.

The phrase ‘start your engines’ is enough to leave me in post-traumatic shock, I’ve heard ‘Thunder Road’ more times in one afternoon than the state of New Jersey has since 1976, and I’ve stood in one place as 43 cars burned enough fuel to drive one person from Richmond to the Western Coast of Australia (literally - combined mileage of 12,900 miles!)

That said…it still makes for a handful of fun pictures.  Regardless of whether or not i get it.

Leftover from Greensboro

I spent two days shadowing the one and only Doug Mills at the White House this past week.  Only had one brief glimpse of Barry O, but the overall experience was too cool for words.

Also shot the Virginia State Basketball Championship Friday evening.

Starting with the last sunset of 2011…

University of Richmond Basketball, State Volleyball Championship

Election Day, Bob McDonnell and Andy Edmunds at the Lincoln opening, Varina v. Highland Springs, and the Richmond Marathon

Things have been slow and I haven’t been shooting too much lately.  This week started to pick up a little bit…here are a few frames shot between my last post and now

Oregon Halloween parade, Obama at Richmond International, Varina v. Hanover football, Central Region Cheerleading Tournament, Tall Bike Ring Toss, and the VCU Collegiate Cyclocross Race 

Big Business Brantley, the Chesterfield Obama phone bank, Cosby vs Manchester HS, Obama landing at Newport News/Williamsburg Airport, Custer’s Last Waistband, and the Richmond Folk Festival

Slow week…only one assignment with any meat to it…spent an evening with the Richmond Cycle Corps while they trained for the 100-mile Tour of Richmond that happened on Saturday.

also…camping!

The Cowboy Prince sewing like the wind….Wayne Powell campaigning in Bon Air….and footballers footballing

The Color Run, SBRE’s Hill Kill, and lots and lots of football

Through Asheville, NC, and Savannah, GA
