Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk

I did the Photowalk again this year, but this time in the picturesque hamlet of Boothbay Harbor, Me. Start time was 7AM so I awoke two hours prior to that and found heavy rain pouring down. I needed an updated weather forecast so I headed over to NOAA's web site and radar showed the rain moving by fairly quickly. Good! When I arrived in Boothbay there was just a minor sprinkle and low lying clouds. Turned out to be a good morning for pic taking.
There were ten people signed up for the walk but only four braved the weather! Their loss!
Here are a couple of my captures. All were processed in Lightroom. To view a few more go here: Brillant Images

High School Lacrosse

The Maine Principals Association high school LAX championship games were held back on June 20 at Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland, ME. I was there on assignment for a local sports newspaper, The Sportscaster Newspaper, which is printed bi-weekly. The weather in Maine has been less than ideal, rainy and cool, as such I was expecting yet another wet day for the games. We got a big break this time, the sun came out and temperatures rose above 65 degrees!! One of the games I covered was the girls Class A. The participants were Kennebunk High, from the west, and Brunswick High, from the east. As large as the State of Maine is, both teams are from the same county; go figure! Attached below is a slide show of the game. Enjoy.
