Jack Crider – Junior Wrestling 1.22.12

This is my main man, Jack Crider, who made me so proud today. Seriously, I wish that you could have seen the display he put on today! Jack was down to his opponent 10-6 at one point, but never gave up. In the last period he got a reversal and back points, then finished it off with a pin with time running out. It was just flat out awesome to see a kid learning the right kind of lessons – work hard, don’t give up and great things will happen!

Goofing around and getting ready…

the reversal and then the pin (wish I could have had a better angle on the pin!)

yeah, that’s right!

Congratulations on the big win, Jack!

wrapping 2011…

I have been unbelievably fortunate this past year — I’ve worked with some great couples, some super seniors and have had the chance to explore both New York and D.C. in greater depths. A special thank you to all of those I’ve had the opportunity to work with. Below are some of my favorite images from 2011. Enjoy!

Thank you!

Photo(s) of the Week 9

I know, you’re seeing several pictures below and they don’t deal with the holidays. My bad, I get it… But I am doing some work for the Greensburg Central Catholic Basketball Boosters and had the chance to hit a game this week. Below are some shots that serve as a quick preview at the same time…

20th Annual Greensburg Thanksgiving Turkey Trot

It almost feels weird to type “20th Annual” with anything anymore — it’s so hard to keep something going for so long. But you read that correctly – this year’s event was the 20th Annual Thanksgiving Turkey Trot! While I would never want to slight anyone on the committee, I do want to point out the hard work of both Dr. Barry Bupp and Mark Sorice — two community members who have helped to pull this tremendous event off, year in and year out — thanks to both of you for all of the work that you’ve put in. The event has become a tradition amongst thousands of locals — for many, this has become a familial way to get the Thanksgiving Festivities started. For others, it’s a day out with the dog(s) and for others still it’s a way to, well, let’s say work off the night before’s effects (poison in, poison out!) No matter why you’re taking part, whether to race it, walk it or just take part on the sidewalks while cheering everybody on, it’s just a tremendous time.

 

gobble gobble!
