Part 1: General Assignments

I have sorted the next 5 posts into categories of recent work from the past 5 of 6 weeks. One of the downsides of being busy is not having enough time to share work on my blog, but that is a good thing. In this first post are a few images from some general assignments.

I have always believed that how you handle the average everyday assignment is the true test of a really great photographer. Sometimes you find a great moment and other times you need to use just the right lens and find just the right angle to make something you can go home with.

Here are a few from some recent work for the Courier-News.
