53,285 photographs

I was in New Castle, Indiana working for The Courier-Times for about eight months before I was laid off from my full-time position and cut down to a part time job. I stayed on for two more months while I interviewed with other newspapers around the country. My last day at The Courier-Times was this past Friday, December 10, 2010. When I first got to New Castle, I didn’t think I would be sad whenever I left. I really didn’t […]

Anything from July 2009 through June […]

At the time, I didn’t know […]

Friday night snowball

While we’re not quite to winter, the weather has been great as of recent. In fact, all of this year’s football games have been in great weather. Not as much as a drop of rain. Yesterday before I went to shoot the sectional championship football game between the Hagerstown Tigers and the Knightstown […]

Volleyball: The end of the season

One of the local powerhouse volleyball teams is Shenandoah High School. They have been destroying many teams all season long. Last night, they were in the regional tournament against Muncie Burris who has had 92 consecutive tournament wins and 13 consecutive state championship victories. One tough opponent. Shenandoah fought hard but ultimately lost to Muncie Burris in three straight sets. Here are a few shots from the night. The girls from Muncie Burris were absolutely crushing their spikes. This one […]
