Lady Terps Bumped out the Final’s by Duke

My second featured team from this year’s 2008 ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament is none other than the Lady Terrapins of the University of Maryland.  Led by WBCA All American Crystal Langhorne who was also taken 6th overall by the WNBA’s Washington Mystics and the 10th overall pick by the Sacramento Monarch’s Laura Harper.  The Lady Terps struggled in their 2nd round matchup against Boston College before pulling away in the 2nd half winning 93 – 81, but they faced a very determined Duke University team in the semifinals loosing 74 – 63.  Their Super Junior’s Kristi Toliver and Marissa Coleman also led the Lady Terps.  Please enjoy these images and the next featured school will be the Lady Tar Heel’s of the University of North Carolina.  You can view other images from all of Maryland’s ACC Tournament games by clicking HERE…

 

 

Duke’s Run at the Women’s ACC Hoop Tourney

Back in March, I had the pleasure of shooting the 2008 Women’s Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Basketball Tournament held at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina.  The event was held March 6 – 9, 2008.  Since I never posted any images from the games, I will just post specific teams.  The first team I’m featuring is Duke University, which lost the championship game to the University of North Carolina 86 – 73.  I’m featuring Duke first because they have some very outstanding local talent that plays for them.   Senior Guard Wanisha Smith of Riverdale Baptist School, who just recently was drafted 27th overall by the WNBA’s New York Liberty.  The Dukies also had Oakton High School’s freshman sensation Jasmine Thomas and St John’s College High School’s Brittany Mitch.  The next post I will feature images from the University of Maryland.  Hope you enjoy.  You can view more images from all the 2008 Women’s ACC Tournament Games by clicking HERE…

Ok.  I know it’s been a long time since I’ve updated this thing, but yesterday I had the honor and pleasure of photographing a young lady who’s hard work over the years paid off.  This young student athlete has done it right since day one.  Her name is Amanda O’Neill, star senior forward for the Westfield High School Bulldogs located here in Chantilly, Virginia.  On this day Amanda signed her “Letter of Intent” to attend Campbell University next year on a full scholarship.  Campbell University is located in beautiful Buies Creek, North Carolina and is a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference.  Hope you enjoy these images and I promise I will post more stuff.

Eastern State Penitentiary Model Shoot

I was given the opportunity last Saturday to participate in a Model Shoot at the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia.  It was a great opportunity to shoot something I normally don’t shoot.  I want to give a special thanks to Allison Britton for putting this thing together and all the hard work she had to do.  I want to also thank our wonderful makeup artist who had to put up with some difficult conditions and the excellent photographer’s I got to meet like Borrowed Blue Photography, Pictures by Paige and Halo Photographic.  Below are some images I took at the shoot.
