Thanks to the Duke men’s lacrosse team for letting me hop into one of the frames of the team photo that we did yesterday.

Really cool experience today being able to see the launch of the Atlas V rocket with the NROL-67 satellite. Pure dumb luck that I was there during a launch event. Photo doesn’t do it justice. (at Kennedy Space Center)

Duke lacrosse picks up the win over Harvard today 17-11. 

Mailing these out to one of the Duke lacrosse players who graduated last year and who meant a lot to me. He’s in OCS now with dreams of being a Navy Seal. Here are pics of him after winning the national championship, twice. Seeing these pictures of his class in freshmen and senior years made it hit home how much he’s already accomplished…and he’s only getting started.

In February I had the great opportunity to work with Team USA member Chris Eck, a faceoff specialist. I was hired to photograph him by US Lacrosse for their Lacrosse Magazine. We had less than two days to come up with a location to do the shoot, ship Chris his USA uniform, and conceptualize what we wanted the final product to look like. We barely were able to do the shoot on the day scheduled due to rain in the morning and then UPS not delivering his uniform on time. (Chris had to drive to the UPS facility to retrieve his uniform.)

We did the shoot at Duke University thanks to the help from Duke SID Meredith Rieder. Of note Chris and Meredith knew each other from Colgate where Chris did his undergrad and Meredith was an SID.

I hope you enjoy seeing some photos you may not have seen in the April 2014 issue.Â
