The Veldbooms
We were asked to do a portrait shoot on Thanksgiving morning. These are some friends who will be heading to Thailand after Christmas, and wanted photos with them and their children and grandchildren all together. We know everyone well, and it was really fun!

Brothers
Having two sons, we realize that photos of them together can be a challenge. Christopher and Aydan did great though! If you have children and haven’t gotten photos of them recently, please give me a call. This is a beautiful time of the year to have photos done.

1. Never use the term ‘home-Run’ in your football game article. This was my wife’s observation after reading my first football story roughly 3 years ago. Fortunately, they decided I would be a better photographer, and let me do that instead.

I always read the stories after the article was published, and began noticing some patterns. This year I was asked if I’d like to try the articles again. I decided, why not? I have learned a little. Much comes from noticing things on the field, and then tying it together with the play by play stats the school gives me access to, as well as looking though hundreds of images… Oh, then there’s always my favorite coach Travis. He is always willing to answer a question, no matter how silly it is, and I appreciate that!
Good Times at the Local Fair
One of the cool things about the local small fairs is that people that you may not run into are there with their children. Its easy to strike up conversations, and sometimes can lead to opportunities to ask questions about what drives them. Going doesn’t always mean to a far away place.

One of my favorite shots from our time in Washington this past July. John Thornton has been out in front of the Washington Mall for at least the past decade. He plays out of an old Hymnal; but appears to know pretty much everything he plays by heart. You can listen to him play via NPR: http://www.npr.org/2012/06/30/155989687/a-lone-trumpeter-serenades-the-national-mall
Considering a switch from Canon to Sony?
This past year, I learned about a new mirrorless system, that honestly is beginning to give the big camera companies (Nikon and Canon) a run for their money. Sony has made video cameras for years; but when they started getting into digital photography, it wouldn’t be long before they started making cameras that were highly video friendly; well, that was the plan. The one that interested me the most was probably the more affordable one, the Sony a6000. I purchased a used one (body only) from B&H Photo to try. It was only $420.
I became aware than Canon CPS would stop servicing the Canon 1D Mark III cameras in May 2016 and have been looking at a viable replacement solution. The 1D Mark IV has been an option, then the new 7D Mark II has caught my attention as well. Then I found out about Sony. The Sony a6000 has an impressive 11fps and has amazing autofocus system; but only if you use Sony glass – which is rather pricey in relationship to Canon glass.

Football Season Coverage begins
The Burke County Bears started the regular season with a scrimmage game against Butler High School of Augusta this past Friday. The Bears were the state Champions in 2011. Below, Stephen Dishmond, makes his way over the goal line for a touchdown.

These are some friends of ours who asked if we could get some photos before their second child Everly was born!
