Zach Howell and a ref's ass

I’m starting a new segment today that I’m calling “Ref Ass”. It will be dedicated to all the photos that refs have put their posterior into, destroying what would have been great photos.  I have always said that if there was a market for people who had a fetish for the rear ends of refs, I could create a website and make a fortune. But, given that I have yet to discover that market, I can only offer up some photos so that you can laugh at my pain.

The photo at the left is of Zach Howell of Duke Lacrosse winding up to take a shot while playing Syracuse.

Ben and Chris Hunt’s dad spoke with me earlier in the year about commissioning me to do some portraits of his sons. They are both players on North Carolina’s varsity lacrosse team. Ben is graduating this year so all involved wanted to get some pics of him in his lacrosse gear on campus before he entered the “real world”. We finally went out Wednesday and got some pics of them on campus, just one day before Chris had to leave town. Here is one picture from our session today. In the background is Morehead Planetarium on UNC’s campus. I thought they turned out well overall. The effect in the photo below was accomplished by using two off camera strobes.

I traveled up with UNC for the quarterfinals to Annapolis, MD. They gave a great showing, lossing by just 1 in a 11-12 loss to the Duke Blue Devils.  The Blue Devils will now advance to the NCAA Lacrosse Final Four in Foxborough, MD.  I will be traveling up there with them and it should be ton of fun; they have always been great to cover. Until then, here are some photos of Duke Lacrosse vs. North Carolina.

A picture I took yesterday at the Duke Lacrosse game (smashing) vs. Navy. Just before the game a bad storm came through leaving some perfect clouds in its wake to create a stunning sunset. Okay, so I did bump the saturation. Still, the photo turned out beautiful.
