Suzanne
I know that three images of the same person is a little excessive. But this woman, Suzanne, was quite an exceptional character, and the light in her kitchen was really egging me on, so bear with me, and enjoy a "mini-portrait series" of Suzanne...

my punishment - a self portrait
I was ruthlessly reprimanded the other day by Geoff and Jen for not having taken advantage of an opportunity to embarrass a reporter (poor Erin had to try out something called a "unitrainer"...enough said.) At any rate, I was informed that when, given the chance, you ALWAYS take the incriminating photo of the reporter. Needless to say, the next day I received an assignment about logging, and was asked to sport the ever-so-trendy hard hat and safety goggles. I think I am on my way to redemption...

Race in Lebanon
Copyright 2008 Valley News - May not be used or reprinted without permissionThis is exactly what I would look like after running a race...except I'm sure my face would be more red. Kudos to this guy...
In all seriousness though, I have registered to run in the Susan G Komen "Race for the Cure" in July (don't get excited, it's only a 5k). Covering this race was sort of the last straw in terms of motivation, and I have to say I am very much looking forward to the event. Send me your best racing wishes, ha.
dog days
Copyright 2008 Valley News - May not be used or reprinted without permissionThe first ever dog park officially opened in the Upper Valley a few weeks ago, and these schnazy boots were there to help ring in the event. I don't know what I want more; a cute puppy or the stellar boots...
the ramp
Copyright 2008 Valley News - May not be used or reprinted without permissionOne of the local ski mountains transforms into a summer skate park, and practice arena for the true skiers/snowboarders. Eventually, they'll cover the ramps with "snow gel" to emulate ice and what not...gonna try to go back for that part!
play day at the beach
Copyright 2008 Valley News - May not be used or reprinted without permissionThis was during the couple day heat wave that hit the Upper Valley. I was so jealous of these kids that got to splash around in the water, while I sweating all over my camera! (I would definitely be the one in the middle, with the grass foot)
Vermont Open Golf Tournament
Copyright 2008 Valley News - May not be used or reprinted without permissionThis was on the putting green, near the club house, where players were warming up before they hit the course. This photo doesn't quite do the whole scene justice; there were more pastel polos and matching shoes than I had ever seen in one place.

Copyright 2008 Valley News – May not be used or reprinted without permissionDartmouth's graduation ceremony, while moving and momentous, was scorching hot. Three hours in the middle of the open green, sun beating down. I guess I can't complain too much since I wasn't dressed in a full length, black, polyester robe (although I was lugging all my gear!) The top photo really has nothing to do with graduation, except that this mother was trying to save seats, and having to hoard off other late-coming families. Something about this photo just represents what that day is like to people other than the graduates (i.e. parents that are will to stand in the blazing sun for hours BEFORE graduation even starts, all so they can get the best photo of their graduate.) Bottom photo is clearly your typical, celebratory grad shot...
Covered Bridges Half Marathon
Copyright 2008 Valley News – May not be used or reprinted without permission
Copyright 2008 Valley News – May not be used or reprinted without permissionThese are a few images from a package that ran in paper from an event called Covered Bridges Half Marathon. Essentially, a group of about 2,500 insanely athletic and motivated people get together and run a beautiful 13 mile course, that just happens to wind through a few old-school bridges. The winner finished in a time of about 1 hour, 14 minutes; which if you do the math equates to pace of about 5:40/mile...sustained for 13 miles!!! I've felt more motivated to get out and run since this stupendous display...

remember birthday parties and balloons?
i saw this on my street the other day, and it made me feel nostalgic. coupled with the sound of laughing kids and the smell of hotdogs and hamburgers on the grill, i strangely wanted to be transported back to age 8. maybe i'll buy some balloons and cool-ade for the next bbq i attend and try to recreate...
light is your friend
feeling like i was having a bit of a rough time shooting yesterday. luckily the sun and some trees decided to help me out a bit...
