For What a Week's Worth...


Now that I've gotten into the swing of things at the News & Messenger, I put together a group of images representing last week's work. A full list of stuff, I might add. I also think that it's pretty representative of what we do on a week to week basis. Sports. Sports portraits. Funerals, vigils. I suppose the only thing missing was a parade, a groundbreaking or a ribbon-cutting...


Monday began like many others...sportraits.
This time of a fella who's broken his leg two years in a row...

A last minute "Drive-by" portrait...


And finishing off at a restaurant...


Tuesday Night hoops against an Australian team...



....and some Wednesday night hoops...


Thursday brought the Football Player of the Year, Jerrell McFadden...



...and then I was off to shoot a portrait for the gymnastics preview...




...then finally finishing off the night with...yep, more hoops action, this time at a small Catholic School in Manassas City. What an interesting, small gym...






Friday started off with a funeral mass for a sanitation truck driver who was killed earlier in the week from a work-related accident...




...and then to Fairfax for some GMU hoops vs. Radford...



...but Saturday brought a long day, after a double homicide from the night before, meant I was out at the office in the morning waiting on word of vigils, or memorials...
but first a gratuitous Christmas shopping photo...

...and a quickie hoops game, before heading off to a vigil...

several dozen gathered in front of Our Holy Family Catholic Church in Dale City to hold a vigil for a mother and her son, vicitims of a double homicide...




So there you have it...a weeks worth of a stuff from a photojournalist at a community paper...
