Lyman Hall v. Sheehan soccer

More boxing!

You can't win them all.

I shot an American Legion baseball team from East Longmeadow, Mass. for the Springfield Republican last week. These guys made it all the way to the finals to lose to Branford, 2-1. Nonetheless, they were one of the most sportsmanlike teams I've seen in my day.

Live Mural Art!

Matt Lolli, a good friend of mine who also happens to have made a cameo appearance in my portfolio for my portrait of his bike-crazed self in his apartment, and his buddy Adam Wallenta did some live mural art at Eli Cannon's in Middletown the other day.

Dirt Bike Jumps!

July 13 will mark the end of my time as a photojournalist at the Republican-American. Though I'm leaving the paper, I am not leaving the state, and with this decision, I will free up more time to work as a freelancer.

This marks the end of one of the most interesting chapters of ANYONE'S life I know, and I will look back on it with lots of "How the HELL did I do that??!?!"s... in a good way, of course. As much as I wanted to delay it, this day had to come, and I thank everyone, (especially my photo brethren Jamison Bazinet, Jim Shannon, Darlene Douty, Steve Raggie, Steve Valenti and yes, even Jonathan Wilcox) from the bottom of my heart who mentored me through these five years.
