Dragons Lacrosse

Just a quick post, I may edit this later, but I just want to show off some lacrosse picture I shot last week. I meet up with a lacrosse coach and he invited me out to one of their practices. It had been a while since I shot sports and I'm a die-hard lax fan so I couldn't pass this up. Here's a few of my favorites.

Greek Orthodox Church

As many people in Delaware know this is the festival season in Wilmington, and it starts off with the Greek Festival. Now I've heard about the Greek festival for a few years now. A few of my friends still were amazed I never went to it. So I had some spare time the other day, and it runs from 11am to 11pm. So i decided to drive up and check it out.

Apparently when I went, it was during one of the downtimes. Pretty much all the good food was still being cooked, and not many people were around. I was really looking forward to getting some Souvlaki(Greek kebabs) and had to settle for some Lamb and orzo. It was still good though.

The Greek festival is held of on the grounds of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. Which at the time was holding an open house. So I decided to grab my camera, put on my 50mm lens, because I hadn't used it in a while, and took a look inside.

Although I liked the photos I was getting, and was shooting with the 5dmk2. I wished I could of shot with a wider lens. I could of gone back to my car and got my 28-70, but that would of been too much. I have a feeling though my next lens purchase will be a wide angle lens. I've been looking at a 14mm recently, and would of come in handy.

Wilmimgton University Fashion Show...

About two weeks ago I got a call from one of my college friends, who usually does the PR work for my school, Wilmington University. The Multi-cultural club was holding a fashion show and he couldn't cover it, of course I abridged.

Since search engine optimization(SEO) is all the rage right now. I'll give my school some love and just post the links to WilmU's press release and flicker slide show. Speaking of SEO I need to keep reminding myself to add myself as a keyword, but I digress.

White Clay Creek; First test of 5D mark 2

Last week I finally got a chance to go out and do a test run with my new camera, a Canon 5D mark2.  I have been longing to get full frame camera for a while now, and now that I have one I wanted to see what kind of images I could get.  I decided to so something I hadn't done in a while, nature and landscape photography.  I think that last time I did it was about two years ago for a school project.  I decided I go to White Clay Creek on the north side of Newark, DE.  I only spent about an hour there, but here's a few from my time there.  As always critics and comment welcome.

Went to a Tea Party...

Okay 4 months later, I finally have time to post something on here.  This year has not turned out the way I planned, but enough about that.  Time to catch up on some of the photography things I've done.

This I actually shot in mid April, It's been on my Photoshelter account since then, but this is the first time I've had a chance to talk about it.  For about a month, I was seeing signs for one of those "Tea Party" rallies to be held in Elkton, MD just down the road from me.  I've heard about them and seen them on tv, but never actually been.  So I went and here is what I saw.

Personally I don't get into politics.  Like everything else in my life I like to be the "independent observer".  I wise man once told me "Never discuss politics or religion, and you'll never get in a heated argument".  I think I'll keep it that way
