Early Spring

High School Hockey

Her name is Lola

One thing that I do a LOT while on the job is DRIVE. And when you drive as a newspaper photographer you're looking around for things out of the ordinary. The other day I was driving around Naugatuck looking for pot holes (glamorous, I know) and I noticed a little beagle sniffing its way up the street. I figured someone was with the dog and I found a pot hole, so I pulled over to shoot that, and I drove up the road to see if the dog was alone, and sure enough she ran out in front of my car. So I picked her up, and for the 10 minutes that she kept me company as I went to her vet's office (which was closed), and then to a cop car, we became friends. The next day I checked to see if she made it home and she did. =)

High School Weightlifting

Factories are beautiful

I may have lost some of my hearing on this assignment, but getting to shoot in such a visually overwhelming place was worth it.

High School Wrestling

You never see photos of high school wrestling. All the glory goes to basketball, football, and baseball, and sometimes soccer. This was just the second time I've shot high school wrestling, and it was actually pretty fun to shoot.

Ballet Auditions

I never realized how truly beautiful it was watching ballet until I shot this assignment. I even stayed a little longer than I needed to.
