The house that Ruth built...

...is consequently the house that the "Evil Empire" will soon destroy. I had the chance to visit Yankee Stadium this past week and enjoy a moment in history for the final Red Sox vs. Yankees regular season game to be played in Yankee Stadium. Being there was a amazing experience, sharing a piece of history in a place so many greats have played.

Next season, this stadium will be gone, and any child born in the world of baseball in 2009 will never experience the game as we have (especially over the past 5 seasons, since the 2003 ALCS).

Enjoy!

Stowe, Vermont

On summer vacation this past June (2008), with my girlfriend Stephanie's family in Stowe, Vermont, I photographed one of the most peaceful places I've ever been.

Enjoy!

"And it's been a while..."

To loosely reference musical artist, Staind, it has been a while... To be fair, I did mention in my first initial post that I would not be the best blogger in world.

But, I'm back. For now.

I have new goals for this Blog, and maybe now I shall post more often. By restricting myself to writing less and showing more, I hope to frequent my online journal of images. Recently I've been to a few nice places and I would like to share a few images from my trips,.So, below are a few of my favorites with captions.

Enjoy!!

Fifth and Goal...

It's been a few days between posts. I'm happy to say, I'm back posting my second entry.

Saturday night, the 21st, I spent the night shooting a semi-professional football game between the Charlestown Townies and the Boston Panthers. I have it worked out that both teams can benefit from my photography. Shooting both sides, from a non-biased angle of view, both teams should enjoy the shots I took. The game was an excellent one.




Both teams, the Townies and the Panthers are cross town rivals, and I've witnessed them play with such passion each time I've been to a game. Running up and down the sidelines, I was able to capture all of the action myself. I really enjoy shooting sports, it's quite the workout! Keep an eye out for my updated Sports Portfolio for more shots from this game.

Overcast, with a chance of Rocks

Day One: I would have never, before this moment, considered myself to be a "blogger". And I most certainly wouldn't desire to be the person whose Blog becomes the topic of normal everyday discussion. The word Blog itself is a little uncomfortable, but until someone else renames this "dairy" of sorts, I'd much rather stick with the b-word.

This blog may inspire, it may even enlighten. You may see posts with snapshots of a few crazy events from my life. You may even enjoy an inside joke or two. But, even though I've decided to make this blog public, I reserve the right to revoke this site and stick directly to what I'm good at (photography). So enjoy it while it lasts.

You see, life in its every aspect, is a learning experience. You must be flexible enough to try new things, if you expect to achieve great heights.

Life Lesson: Today I have learned that it is important for you to trust your gut instinct. When something seems to be out of place, know where to ask the right questions and don't be rocked emotionally by the answers you receive. Be willing to accept responsibility for your actions and try to correct any issues that caused that feeling in the first place. Life doesn't come with a playbook. You either choose to play or not, and when you lose, learn from your mistakes so that you may win next time.
