Just as a little note, these games were actually photographed a couple weekends ago. We’ve just been so busy with everything lately, that we haven’t had much time to sit down and get new content up on the blog. I guess that’s a good thing because business everywhere else has been slow. However, its a bad thing too as I love to keep this blog updated with new stuff!
Anyways, these games were played between the U7 and U8 Divisions of the High Point Soccer Club on a field tucked away in the woods of Northern New Jersey. The day was absolutely beautiful (as you can tell) and both Loretta and myself got really nice sunburns!
Here are a couple shots from those games! We’ll try and get more uploaded in the next couple days or so!

Andrew Yeadon is a well known photographer and has photographed thousands of cars …
Recently, Top Gear Magazine commissioned a photoshoot of the new Dodge Challenger SRT8 and enlisted the services of Andrew. In turn, Andrew enlisted the help of StreetFire.net to video tape the entire shoot as well as an interview with himself covering just how he went about shooting a car for one of the world’s most respected automotive magazines.Â
Check out the video for a great behind-the-scenes look at a photoshoot that produced some absolutely incredible images!

Last year, our introduction to the sport of Lacrosse started with an invitation to photograph the annual Boys vs Girls Swap Stix Match at Minisink Valley High School. Unfortunately, that game was nearly at the end of the season for the teams and we only had a couple more opportunities to photograph them before it was all over.
During the off-season, after a couple phone calls, we had a contract with Minisink Valley to cover the 2008 season for the Varsity and Junior Varsity teams. Finally, Lacrosse season is here!
I love Lacrosse because its fast and action packed and reminds me a little bit of Hockey. Last Wednesday was my first game for Minisink Valley Varsity as they played Valley Central at home. These two teams have always been big rivals and the game they played was tough. Here are some of the shots …

Chris and I attended the MS Walk like we do every year. I photographed the events at the Hackettstown location. To my disappointment, it seemed like there were less people in attendance than last year. All ages participated and it was a great day despite the cold weather we had! There were only two companies there Mary Kay (who was there last year) as well as Betaseron representatives. Betaseron is a drug that helps prevent your immune system from attacking your nervous system.
In looking at Chris’ post, I realized we captured very similar images. My images were shot with the Rebel XT and XTI. Enjoy the photos!

Yesterday, Loretta and I headed out and covered two locations for the 2008 National MS Walk. She attended the walk in Hackettstown NJ while I headed over to Roxbury NJ. Unfortunately, the beautiful 70-degree weather we had on Saturday didn’t carry through as it was cloudy, cold and windy all day Sunday. Regardless, we dressed in layers and started shooting away.
As I arrived on site in Roxbury, it was nice to see lots of the same faces from last year … and to see even more new ones this year. All told, they had about 600-700 people in attendance.
Prior to the start of the walk, I moved around and captured some shots of the sponsors and volunteers that were already hard at work. I also watched as the Roxbury Fire Department readied their ladder truck with an American flag onto the end of the bucket. Once things were set, they raised it up and held the flag over the center of the event. Unfortunately, with the wind the way it was, I couldn’t get the exact shot that I wanted … but this was close enough for me …
As more walkers arrived, an instructor from a local business called Jazzercise helped keep everyone warm with a brief workout. As I watched the crowd around her, these two ladies stuck out as they were the most animated and tried to follow each move the instructor did …
As the morning progressed, one of the things that I had to do was take team pictures for everyone. As I waited for this one team to fully assemble, I noticed that (like a lot of other people there) they had their dog with them. I couldn’t resist the shot as it was the only one that helped “support the team”!
Once the ribbon was cut and the five mile walk started, I grabbed a few additional shots of the activities around the event including the band, a local radio station, the fire and police departments of Roxbury as well as the many other sponsors of the event. As the front of the walk started to come around on the first lap, I headed over to a little side road to capture them coming down the road. Here was a cute one of a little walker getting a lift for part of the distance …
Overall, it was a great day. It was nice to see the size of the turnout … though I think it would have been better had Saturday’s weather held out. Hopefully next year will be even better!
