Friday night snowball

Football that is. A few weeks ago, I met with a local legend that predicts the weather every year. He said we would have a mild winter. 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.

This one […]

I found a teacher that would let me sit in on his […]

This first one is of a man named David Johnson. I met David at two in the morning at the scene of a fatal house fire. He lived in the neighboring building and rescued many people from the burning building. He expresses much guilt for not being able to save one woman who […]

Volleyball

For as long as I can remember, I have found volleyball to be a difficult sport to photograph. I can attribute this to a few factors. I am not very familiar with the sport. It can be confusing to follow plays as they develop. Most of the gyms I shoot in are absolute dungeons. In one local gym, I am pushing it to shoot 1/125th sec at f/2.8 and 3200 ISO. My camera struggles to follow focus in such poor […]
