2017-12-19 Twas the week before Christmas

I'm going to try and squeeze seven days of Christmas pictures into my current work section this year. The Holiday bustle of crying children, grumpy retailers, terrible drivers and ridiculous store policies tend to peak for me during this last push towards all things commercial, so I thought a few calm happy pictures of Christmas moments might help alleviate some of the stress. Breath, relax, enjoy.

2017-12-10 First Snowfall

The first snowfall of Winter is a magical event. Tiny flakes of seasonal change flutter down from the heavens to alight on each chilly surface for magnificent presentation to the world. Winter begins to display its beauty with every passing hour. Layer upon fluffy layer of flurries flake onto the landscape evolving nature into a bright picture of white upon white. Here's our first snowfall this year in Pennsylvania.

2017-12-05 Travel Tuesday - Longwood Christmas

It's holiday time at Longwood Gardens this season. The lights are aglow, the decorations are abundant and the fragrance of Christmas is everywhere. Pack a thermos of hot chocolate and some warm winter gloves and head down to Chaddsford to see a blossoming celebration of this magical time of year.

2017-11-29 Flyers Get Eaten by the Sharks

It wasn't pretty at all but it's not my job to cheer for either side. When I'm shooting for the news, I have to keep objective and not let my personal feelings influence where I point the camera. That being said...

2017-11-27 Fly Eagles Fly

In a blowout yesterday the Philadelphia Eagles toppled the Chicago Bears 31-3. From the very beginning the Eagles dominated the field allowing many photo opportunities for the home team. This is one of my favorites: PHILADELPHIA, PA - NOVEMBER 26: Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor (13) flips over his defender into the endzone to score during the NFL game between the Chicago Bears and the Philadelphia Eagles on November 26, 2017 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia PA.
