Among "Giants"

East Rutherford, N.J. Nov. 16--Yes, I was a mere photographer among Giants Sunday as I got my first chance to photograph the New York Giants at the Meadowlands, against my hometown Baltimore Ravens.

And while the cold wind was whipping across the field, it didn't bother me one bit as I watched the defending Super Bowl Champions beat the Ravens 30-10, proving that yes Alex, your Giants, once again, are pretty darn good.

While taking in the whole atmosphere of the game was awesome, the best part of it was walking inside the stadium, past the waiting players, then stepping out onto the field right before they did. Quite an awesome experience boys.

I had a great time shooting the game, and was able to catch up with friends and fellow photographers during and after the game. I have to say a special thank you to my co-workers, Kathy Willens, and Bill Kostroun, who were nice enough to show me around and make sure I didn't get lost.

I miss you boys.

Alex, Brady, looking forward your visit next week, we are going to have a great time. Tyler, Lukie, you boys are next. I can't wait.

As always,
Love,
Dad

I love a parade...

Georgetown, Del., Nov. 6--While I'm thankful the election is finally over, for me it still sort of lingers on as Vice-president elect Joe Biden is from Delaware, which is part of my coverage area.

And the reason I say it still "lingers on" is because good ol' Joe loves to come home every weekend to his beloved state. Which means I'll be spending more quality time in the "First State."

On Thursday, Biden made his first trip back after being elected, participating in the Return Day parade in this quaint little town. The tradition of the parade, which dates back almost 200 years, has the winning and losing candidates from Election Day riding together in open, horse-drawn carriages and antique automobiles.

As you can tell from the photo of me walking the route with a member of Biden's staff, far left, and a Secret Service agent, taken by my friend Suchat Pederson of the The (Wilmington) News-Journal, it was a miserable day. It rained the whole way on the two hour drive from Baltimore, and didn't let up until I got home 10 hours later.

A long day.

I miss you boys.

Love,
Dad

Historic Election

Baltimore, Nov. 4--Election day has finally come and gone, thank goodness, as it was a one long day for me.

I started the day out photographing Vice President-elect Joe Biden as he and his family voted in Wilmington, Del., then drove back to Baltimore to photograph the large turnout at the polls.
Later that night, I had a great experience watching the returns on a big screen t.v. at Bethel AME Church in downtown.

The atmosphere at the church was electrifying. It was an old time revival prayer service and a party at the same time.

My friend Justin Kase Conder took this photograph of me at the end of the night.

And yes, Brady, Brack Obama won, you were right!

Love,
Dad
