New England Revolution vs Carolina Railhawks
What started out as a cold, rainy, dismal day, turned out to be a beautiful day to be celebrated! Not only did the Carolina Railhawks defeat the MLS New England Revolution 1-0, but Carolina’s defender, Caleb Norkus, proposed to his girlfriend, Danielle Fernandez, just after Danielle sang the national anthem. By the photos below, you can probably guess what her answer was! Congratulations to both the Railhawks and to Caleb and Danielle!
Get Your Rear in Gear Raleigh, NC
March 7th, 2009 was the inaugural Get Your Rear in Gear 5k at Fred Fletcher Park, in Raleigh, North Carolina and I was the official photographer for the race that was raising awareness of colon and rectal cancer and positively impact screening rates. When I was in high school, I use to run track and cross country (although Satomi cannot believe I used to be able to run a 4:38 mile…actually, neither can I come to think of it) but this was my first time photographing a race. Overall it went well, but since I tried to take a few photos of every participant (over 600 of them) I easily ended up with over 3000 photographs in just over an hour! If you were a participant, or just want to see a lot of race photos, the photos from the Get Your Rear in Gear 5k are all over in my gallery.
Gavin's 5th Birthday Party and Portraits
A few weeks ago, I shot a birthday party at Goodnights Comedy Club…. for a 5 year old! Yeah, I was surprised as well, at least until I heard that it was going to be during the day and instead of a 4 letter word dropping, crowd attacking comedian, there would be a crowd pleasing magician. It was a lot of fun for me to photograph so I know the kids really enjoyed it! After the party, I did some portraits of the lucky birthday boy and his cousins. Photographing kids is as fun as it is challenging! They don’t really take directions well, but to be honest, those times when they are off in their own world, can often be the best ones! Happy Birthday Gavin!
