An Evening in Orange 2012

Well, it happened again…the University of Tennessee Medical Center held their annual An Evening in Orange gala and this year’s event was the biggest party that Knoxville has ever seen, topping last years event at Thompson Boling Arena. This year’s gala was held on the field at Neyland Stadium (where the University of Tennessee plays football). I can’t tell you how cool it was to have such a event on the football field. This year’s entertainment was country singers Darryl Worley and Matt Stillwell. More than a million dollars was raised to benefit the hospital’s NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) and build more private rooms for newborns and their families. As you may know, my son spent four months in the NICU at the University of Tennessee Medical Center, so I believe this was the best part of the night. The great question that is already lingering, is what do they do to top this next year? To see more and order photos from the night click on Prints on the top menu.

Ben Franklin portraits

Last week I went out and made portraits of these ladies in Dandridge, TN who happen to be related to Ben Franklin. The family is six or seven generations descendant from Franklin and the house has been a family home since 1843.

Track portrait

I went out and made this portrait of Jake and his mom for Mothers Day. Jake is a long distance runner for the University of Tennessee who gave up the last track season to take care of his mom after she was in a car accident. Pretty cool that he would do that to help his mom.

Chasing a little white ball around a perfectly good park

A couple of days ago I was covering some kids playing golf. I still don’t understand why they need complete silence but hey, whatever. I always like the photos I make when I photograph golf, I like the lines and the way people more and react while playing. I have a new camera, the Fuji X Pro-1 and although everyone says you can’t photograph sports with it, this is the third sports assignment I have shot with it. Golf was really amazing with the new camera! One of the rules of golf is that you are not supposed to make a photo until the ball has left the club head. Well the new camera is almost silent so I was able to shoot the whole swing without distraction the players and they didn’t even know, very cool!

Soccer championships

Soccer is by far my favorite sport to photograph, it’s the only one left that’s unpredictable when I’m working. The ball could go any direction at any time and it makes it fun. It’s also one of my favorite sports to watch, here are a few photos from the district championship a few days ago…
