I was assigned some college football action this weekend, so I got to watch as the Houston Cougars dismantled the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in a bone crushing 49-14 victory at High Point Solutions Stadium, Piscataway, NJ. It was a hard fought game for Rutgers, and they came away licking their wounds. These are the pictures I took at the game: Independence Sports Magazine Rutgers vs. Houston
Time is Running Out
With October nearly over, the last few days of Fall color are preparing their exodus. Get out there and take some pictures while you still can, it’s going to be a long winter. Take some time this weekend, breath in the crisp air, take a walk in the park or down your favorite trail, and snap some pictures. You won’t regret it come the frigid days of January. Have a great weekend!

Inspiration - The Piano Guys
Months ago a friend of mine recommended a video on YouTube by ThePianoGuys. I checked it out and was really impressed. I noticed that they were going on tour this year so I bought two tickets for their show at the Keswick Theater, just outside of Philadelphia, PA. The concert was last Friday night and it was fabulous. I laughed, I cried, I was moved. It is inspirational to see artists doing what they love to do. One of the things that touched me most were these words that appeared at the beginning of one of the songs on a video screen in the middle of the stage.
“Don’t only practice your art, But force your way into its secrets, For it and knowledge can Raise men to the divine.” -Ludwig van Beethoven
I’ve been a Beethoven fan since I was in school. The passion and drive in his music oozes out of every melody, every scale, every rhythm. It was a reminder to me, and I hope it is to everyone. You can download today’s picture for free with Beethoven’s quote and use it for inspiration whenever you need it.

Get Out There
Now is the time! Grab your camera and get outside. Take some great pictures of Autumn. It goes by fast, very fast. Today’s colorful cornucopia is tomorrow’s barren stick. Stop reading - go play outside!

Zombie Time
With Halloween quickly approaching, and this being Friday, I thought would try my hand at a little photomanipulation, and practice a few Photoshop skills. I downloaded a few pictures and textures and blended them together in Photoshop to see what I could come up with and this is what emerged. I’ll see what develops next week… Have a great weekend.
