The Season Ends for Villanova’s NCAA Basketball

March 25, 2014

Villanova lost their battle against the University of Connecticut Huskies over the weekend during the second round of play in the NCAA championships. I was given the opportunity to photograph a few of their games this year and I thought I would share some of my favorite pictures. Villanova holds a special place in my heart (and my wallet) since my father coached there when I was a child, my brother graduated from there, and my daughter currently attends. Great job men, and continued success.

#TravelTuesday The Bellagio Fountains

March 18, 2014

One of the coolest and inexpensive things to see in Las Vegas is the fountain show in front of the Bellagio casino. The man made lake is roughly nine acres and houses fountains that can shoot water 150 feet into the air. The fountains erupt every half hour during the day and every quarter hour after nightfall. The performance is accompanied with music ranging from opera, to country, to pop songs. It is a refreshing breath of fresh air on the Las Vegas Strip.

Think Spring

March 17, 2014

The Northeast was pounded by another Winter storm this morning, but yesterday my wife and I spent a few hours in Longwood gardens checking out some of the wonderful flora on display. Right now Longwood is celebrating its Orchid Extravaganza in the conservatory. It is a welcomed glimpse into Springtime so be sure to check it out. The show runs until March 30th. Oh, and bring your camera.

There’s more than just Daylight

March 13, 2014

During our recent trip to Las Vegas, I worked through the days, I was at the racetrack close to dawn and didn’t leave most days until after sunset. I’m used to this schedule so the workload was ok, but being somewhere else and not photographing some travel pictures was out of the question. My wife and I took some time Sunday evening after the races were over to stroll down The Strip and snap some pictures, which I am editing as fast as I can, but here’s one picture I snuck in on the way to the track early one morning.
