Today I totally lucked out when I happened to be one street away from this accident. At around 10:30 am the call went out for a coal truck overturned on Route 119 at the intersection of Route 56 in Homer City. I was on the first to arrive on scene before police, fire and ems. Eventually, one patient was flown from the scene with the chopper being landed on the road. There were a total of 3 citizens crews on scene, one chopper and 2 fire companies. All my friends were there....I absolutely love shooting those kids!
I haven't updated with any Curve photos since opening night, but I have been shooting them a ton. Here are a few from their win against the Rockcats tonight. The Curve are currently in first place in the Eastern League with a 41-22 record.
A couple weeks ago I shot some more college senior photos for a pretty sweet chick named Ratch, who is from Hollidaysburg so you know she's rad. She pretty much was ANTM all the way. I had way too much fun shooting these photos. Ratch was willing to do anything and had some great ideas that she wanted to try. My favorite part was when we were shooting outside Sprowls and a dude started yelling out poses. Too much fun!
The Homer Center Baseball team played Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic at the Blair County Ballpark. Homer defeated BG to become the new 2010 District 6 Baseball champions. The state playoffs start on Monday. Good luck to Homer hopefully they'll get back to BCB to play in the state championship on the 18th!
For the third year in a row I traveled to the State Track meet in Shippensburg over Memorial Day weekend. Janae Dunchak won the girls high jump for the fourth year in a row and newcomer Angel Piccirillo won the gold in the 1600 and the bronze in the 800. I look forward to what Angel will do in the future...she is such an amazing runner. My favorite part when she's done is that she doesn't even seem tired. I know for a fact I would be falling over ded if I ran as much as she does. Congrats to all the local athletes for even making it to states. I say it every year it's a tough scene.
A few weeks ago I shot some photos of my bestie Megan. I had done some work for her and her family in the past. After last semester Megan became a SR at IUP. So she asked me to take some college senior photos. Here are some photos from our shoot.
I had today off and was outside laying in the sun when I realized it's been a while since I shot any good photos of Henessey. I actually thought to myself...this is what people without kids do...they're creeps and shoot their dogs. But dang he is the most adorable thing I've ever laid eyes on...with four legs. So here is my little sleeze. <3
I am currently working as a photojournalist at the The Indiana Gazette where I have been on the staff since December of 2002. I did, however, leave to work at the Altoona Mirror for a year. I worked for a season shooting for the Altoona Curve. I save lives on Tuesdays at Citizens Ambulance in Indiana as an EMT.
