Graduation Fever

If I haven't mentioned it before, I have a pretty big coverage area with a lot of high schools that we cover. So when it comes to graduation season, I am pretty busy. In the last two weeks, I have covered 17 high school graduations. Pretty much all the same, with speakers saying the same things and all not very exciting. Though, by now, I could probably give a pretty good graduation speech myself, I've heard enough of them. But, I managed to get some pretty good stuff. It gets tough trying to find ways of shooting each graduation differently from the other.

State Championship Weekend

Eleven games, two days, 90+ degree weather and the high school sports season is finally over. I shot soccer, lacrosse, baseball and tennis state championship games. We had 8 teams vying for state championships in 6 games.

One day celebrating...

the next, not.


State Champs!

Not a good day for one team.


Keep your eye on the prize.


A dominant, record-breaking day.

Celebrating third-straight state championship.



A perfect ending to a great season.


Back-to-back.


Winner of ten straight state championships at the high school level.

Rolling Thunder

I know this is a week late, but here it is anyways.
Every year on Memorial Day, Washington D.C. plays host to the Rolling Thunder. Over 300,000 bikers converge into D.C. to pay their respects and to participate in different events. On the day before they rode from Arlington Cemetery and did a loop around the mall. Pretty impressive to watch a several-hour long parade with 300,000+ motorcycles.
