Moving!

Hello! I've shifted all of my photographs over to SmugMug. See you there!

Kerry's Green - Aug 2011

Just yesterday I got my photographs from Open Mic Night @ Kerry's Green on Aug 16, 2011 uploaded and posted online. It was a great night of music and conversation for all. Keep in mind that all my posted photographs are for sale as prints and as digital files. Enjoy the photographs!

Lyco Fair 2011

I just finished getting through all the photographs I took during the pulls. The keepers from the night can be found here. Enjoy!

Conclave 2011

At long last, Conclave photographs are online! I thought I had posted them awhile back, but when I went to check, they weren't there. But they are now! Enjoy the photographs!

B*Dazzled Dance Show - 2pm

Well, it's been a month, but I've just finished going through my photographs from the second dance show of the day. Quite a few good photographs in this set, if I do say so myself. But enough of what I think, as it's been long enough. You're after the photographs!

B*Dazzled Dance Show - 10am

An excellent dance show! This year the shows were held in the new intermediate school, which made was a new venue for the studio, so we all learned the building as we went. The show went quite well, and all the dances were well received. Once of the dancers somehow managed to persuade me to let her borrow my camera for awhile... still not quite sure how that happened. But it's all good. She did take some good photographs, though you'll have to contact her to see them. On to the photographs!

B*Dazzled Elements Show Rehearsal

Another B*Dazzled show rehearsal has come and gone. The rehearsal went quite well, I thought. And even though I'm a fairly big person, I'm still able to blend into the background pretty well when I choose to (as certain individuals tend to forget). Which just makes some of the photographs that I'm able to capture that much more amusing. 'tis all in good, clean fun. Enjoy the photographs!

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday was interesting. One person fainted during the church service, so I wound up outside for awhile helping them. My sister's dance went well, once the worship team decided exactly how they were going to play the song, but that's a normal occurrence. Afterwards was a get together of church friends for a few hours before we all went our separate ways to family dinners. Photographs from the day can be found here. Enjoy!

Swim Banquet

An excellent banquet to bring the swim season to an official close. Everyone had an excellent season, and the banquet celebrated just that. There were lots of laughs, much reminiscing, and eagerness for the future. I have to give a shout out to Alyson and her family for putting together the excellent slideshow! And now, the final set of photographs from the 2010-2011 swim season can be found here.

Kate

This is one of the swimmers I got to talking with at the PIAA District 3 meet. Kate is a freshman swimming independently, and from the looks of things, she will go far in her swimming career.

Dover @ PIAA District 3

Dover moved up from AA to AAA this year, and still had an excellent District 3 meet, in which they medaled several times. All the swims were excellent, and one could tell that all the training a preparation paid off. Photographs of the Dover swimmers are now online. Enjoy!

PIAA District 3 Swim Meet

Susquehannock did quite well at the PIAA District 3 swim meet, which was held last last Friday & Saturday. The swimmers went after every race, and gave it their all. With the end result being that 16 swimmers competed in 10 events and improved their times in 6 of those events!

Photographs can be found here.

Dover YAIAA Championships

I've known Dover's head swimming coach for quite a few years. This year, as his usual photographer was unable to attend the YAIAA Championship Meet, I was asked to fill in. I happily obliged. It was always fun to complete against Dover, and it's been a blast to photograph the Dover swimmers and coaches. Enjoy the photographs!

YAIAA Championships - Day 2

The second day of championships brought more good swims all around. Along with the good swims came some interesting facial expressions, which I had fun capturing. Photographs are here.

YAIAA Championships - Day 1

Susquehannock took quite a few swimmers to the league championship meet this year. And they all did well. For me, it was a nice change to be shooting in a natatorium with respectable lighting. I had to make a few changes, as with taking swimming photographs I'm not used to having that much light available. On to the photographs!

Last Practice

Just a couple of quick photographs from the end of the last practice of the dual meet season.

Susquehannock vs. New Oxford

The last meet of the season went well. Excellent swims all around, and alot of thumbs up by the swimmers. And, in keeping with long standing traditions, the coaches were tossed in once the meet was over. On to the photographs!

Haleigh District Qualifying

Crazy swimmers and crazy fun times. Need I say more?

Photographs

Susquehannock vs. West York

The meet against West York is always a good meet. Primarily because West York typically has a strong team with good depth. It's also an interesting meet for me because I competed with their Head Coach back in high school. Photographs can be found here.

Susquehannock vs. York Suburban

A home meet for York Suburban is always a tough meet, even with a good team. YS has a four lane pool, which reduces the number of scoring opportunities from 3 to 2 for each race. With less opportunity for point accumulation, every swimmer has to be on their game. It's always a great meet, because YS is a really good team and has some excellent swimmers. It's also a good prep for the league meet and district competition, as the YS boys have been state champions three times in the past ten years, and their girls team regularly advances several to districts and states. Enough of that, now for photographs!

South Western Relays

Ah yes, the South Western Relay Swim Meet. This is one of the best meets out there in my opinion. After all, how often does one have the opportunity to do a relay start from the block and cork-screw up into backstroke in competition? The Warriors swam quite well and had a blast, both in the pool and in the gym. Enjoy!

Susquehannock vs. Dover

The meet was a good one. Some interesting changes to the line-up based on the results of the last meet, which was neat to watch. 'tis always fun to photograph facial expressions and mannerisms of swimmers, and this meet was no exception. Enjoy the photographs!

Big HItters @ York Sports Night

I think everyone at York Sports Night had a good time. From what I understand, it usually draws more of a crowd, but with the football match-ups that were being played out on TV, the smaller crowd is understandable. Photographs are here, and a video of the Big Hitters is here.

Susquehannock vs. Northeastern

This was the first meet this season that I was really impressed with. To be sure, there have been some great swims, some close races, and some good rivalries thus far. But this was the first time that I'd seen the team as a whole on top of their game and going after their races and events like the coaches and I know they are capable of. And to top the night off, it was their first win this season. Way to go Warriors! Photographs from the meet are here.

OA Lodge Dinner

B*Dazzled Show 2

I'll have the rest of the photographs from the show posted online as soon as I get through them. In the meantime, here's a few that jumped out to me as I scanned through them quick.

Update: 2011 Mar 8:
I just finished going through my photographs from the second dance show, and here they are! Enjoy!

B*Dazzled Show 1

A quick selection of the photographs from the show. More to come!

Update: 2011 Jan 22
I finally got through my photographs from the show. I typically have had them up quicker, but much of my time the past few weeks has been spend working on DVD's of the shows. Anyway, enough of the explanations. Here's the photographs. Enjoy!

B*Dazzled Rehearsal

Here's a quick preview of more photographs to come.

This was probably the best dance rehearsal I've been at. In addition to being well organized, there were a few occassions that the rehearsal was running about 10 minutes ahead of schedule (which is a first in my experience). Anywho, on to the photographs!

Susquehannock vs. Spring Grove

This was a good meet for Susquehannock. They swam tired, which was a first for most of the swimmers. Instead of swimming their usual 1500-1700 yards on the day before a meet, they swam 4000 yards. That's quite a difference. And even swimming tired like that, there were some really good swims and some excellent times. Photographs from the meet can be found here.
