NH Budget Cuts II

[Rev. William Exner of Goffstown, pastor of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, is escorted from the State House by a New Hampshire State Trooper as the building closed for the day on Wednesday, March 30, 2011. He and a small group of clergy planned to hold a prayer vigil in the State House until the budget vote on Thursday, but agreed to be escorted from the building rather than face arrest.]

Kimball School Demolition

[Liz MacBride of Contoocook, standing next to Jim Shultz of New Ipswich, winces as her old classroom in Kimball School is demolished on Monday, March 28, 2011. She taught art in the classroom for 11 of the 15 years that she taught in the building. She said that while it was heartbreaking to see the old building go, she was excited for the new school that will be built to take its place.]

Waterville

These kids are good. They spend their winters at Waterville Valley Academy and split their time between their lessons in the classroom and their lessons on the mountain. They are just your average high schoolers, plus goggle tans and a need for speed.

c. 2005

This was taken on the Gulf Coast near Biloxi around New Year's in 2005. I was with several friends working to clear some of the debris from Katrina which hit a few months before. Most areas we went to hadn't been touched by clean up crews. The wreckage was unbelievable. In the midst of that, this was a beautiful scene that unfolded as the fog rolled in off the water.

State House Tour

Reach

Video Camp

My first paying job as a photographer actually involved more video shooting and editing than stills. Maybe I'll get back to my roots someday. Maybe. For now here is a shot of kids on their February break (why doesn't Michigan have this?!) learning how to shoot it up. "Rule of thirds, rule of thirds" they kept reminding each other.
