Bishop Ireton @ Gonzaga

While everyone was out enjoying happy hour early Friday evening, I was at the Gonzaga v. Bishop Ireton lacrosse game near downtown Washington DC. Gonzaga ended up scoring a few goals late to win 11-8 in an otherwise close match up. So far, March has provided some pretty nice light with all of these overcast days.

Dave Eismeier

Dave Eismeier is a senior at Bishop O'Connell high school out in Arlington, VA. During my travels around the city, visiting different gyms, photographing different basketball games, I sometimes crossed paths with and photographed Dave and the O'Connell varsity basketball team. Dave's mom saw the pictures, bought a few prints and that is how I came to shoot Dave's senior portraits.

We met up last Sunday at the Lincoln Memorial and the weather was the best it had been in a long time. 60 and sunny. And DC took advantadge. There were tons of people walking around messing up the backgrounds of my pictures. We made it work anyway. Dave and his family were great to kick it with during that hour and a half but it was clear that his little brother was not amused.

Ummm...60 and sunny, where you at?

Keep on Pushin'

Shout out to Archbishop Carroll who in three full seasons has only won one game. It's probably hard to win games in a competitive league when you field a team with players who've only picked up a lacrosse stick for the first time within the last two years. Keep on pushin'.

Guess Who's Bizack

Yeah it's your boy Sabrey Smith who was previously made famous by yours truly. For the most part, I've been shooting sports, sports and more sports and have been totally slacking on shooting portraits. Well here's to trying to get back in the groove. Yep, definitely behind on my portrait work, definitely.

Sab and I headed over to Fort Stevens park in NW Washington DC where we found shattered 40 bottles, condom wrappers, a couch cushion, dirty clothes and my favorite...dog shit. The park closes at dark, allegedly, but it seems like it's a home for nightly parties...invite only of course.

Shout out to Sab for being the designated guinea pig. Check out his music here. He and his fellow Good Hood mate also have a blog. Check it out.

St. Albans v. O'Connell @ Catholic

In another early season non-conference lacrosse match up between DC area high schools, St. Albans played Bishop O'Connell at Catholic University. Eh. O'Connell was in it until the third quarter when St. Albans unleashed a slew of goals late.

On a completely unrelated note...did anyone know that Louisville had a basketball and football hip hop fight song? Shout out to Catholic U for jacking the song and playing it at their events because they happen to have the same mascot as Louisville (cardinals) and shout out to Code Red.

March Madness: Lacrosse Edition

Last Friday (day two of the real March Madness) I took a break from basketball and the AU loss and shot a lacrosse game at high noon. The light, not so great. The game, pretty meaningless as St. Albans played McCallie, a team out of Tennessee. The game was tied 4-4 with about 40 seconds left when St. Albans called a time out. I don't know what happened during the time out (I was jamming Lupe Fiasco in the ipod), but the coach must have really drawn it up. A kid they kept calling Roger had the ball at about mid-field and let the clock tick down to about 13 seconds. Then he made a move toward the net. The next thing I know, the ball was in the back of it, the clock read 3.9 and St. Albans kids were hugging each other. With no chance for McCallie to score, the game was over at 5-4. It turns out that being outside instead of watching CBS, I didn't miss a thing.

Prep Stars

Yeah...more pictures of Georgetown Prep lacrosse crushing out of town teams. This time, Loyola out of Illinois. I don't know about you (my loyal readers) but it looks like Prep could be one of the top teams in the country. Shout out to winter weather...yep still here.
