Culver Academy Baseball Photos: CMA Varsity Baseball
For this baseball game, the coach invited me into the dugout to shoot the pictures I captured. Shooting from the dugout is a great experience, as you get much better shots than you would trying to shoot over the fence, and you get to hear the team and coaches interact. You feel as though you are right in the middle of the action. In a few of these photos, you can see where the ball appears to float in the air. I try to get shots in which you can see the ball and the action in the scene. This is a challenge, as the speed of your camera must keep up with the speed of play. I hope you enjoy this selection of these first-rate athletes. Thanks to the coach and team for letting me be part of the dugout. It was an honor.
Indiana Rugby Photos: High School Rugby State Champs
This is the high school state rugby championships that were held in Elkart. Talk about action! Rugby is an intense sport to shoot. The action is aggressive, the movement on the field fast, and the expressions of the players… well, they are also intense. This is a sport that requires you to move quickly to stay up with the action. I got my own workout keeping up with the players as they moved up and down the field. It is worth the effort, however, as this sport provides a lot of opportunity to show the physical talent of the players. We look forward to Spring when the Culver Academies’ season starts up again.
Culver Academy Tennis Photos: CGA Varsity Tennis Sectionals
As you can see in this picture, coach Alan Loehr and his CGA Varsity squad had a great season. In fact, this has been the case for the past few seasons, as CGA tennis continues to send more and more girls to the competitive regionals and state tournaments. In this event, the girls proved to be successful again. For more pictures, see the www.culverphotos.com web site.
Culver Academy Softball Photos: CGA Varsity Softball
The last home game of the CGA Varsity softball team was a hot day. Coaches Brook Wheeler and Katie Maroney invited me to take some shots of the team. Those girls are great softball players! I did not grow up playing baseball or softball, but I could tell within minutes that this team challenged every team they played this season. From the pitcher to the fielders and up-to-bat moments, I witnessed a class-act team. Congrats to both the team and coaches for a great season. I look forward to shooting this team in the upcoming season.
Culver Indiana Children Photographer: Kids Make the Best Subjects
Kids say the darndest things, and we have learned that they do the funniest things. Photographing them is pure joy. We are lucky because we have the greatest nieces and nephews and lots of opportunities to shoot them. They are the best little people we know, and we love being uncle and aunt to them; photographing them is the icing on the cake. We also intrude on family friends to shoot their kids. In all cases, we are grateful for the opportunities, as kids truly do make the best subjects.
Bahamas Vacation Photography: Cat Island
For Ginny’s birthday, I surprised her with a trip to Cat Island. She had no idea where we were going until we reached the airport. It was a lot of fun keeping that one a secret from her. We arrived in Nassau where we had honeymooned about 14 years earlier. We spent one night there, and then we took a small (and I mean small) airplane to Cat Island. Cat Island has literally no commercial development on it. It’s considered and “out” island, in that it’s out there in the Bahamas. 
We had the beach there to ourselves, and we had a chef who prepared our meals. Each afternoon after lunch, the chef would ask what we wanted for dinner. She’d tell us what fresh foods they had on hand, and then she’d prepare these incredibly wonderful meals. We had no television to speak of, so we laid by the beach and read books. In fact, I read photgraphy books while Ginny read fiction for the first time in years. (Ginny is an editor and reads all the time, but she doesn’t often have time to read fiction.) It was, as Ginny says, “The most relaxing time I’ve ever had.” We highly recommend a trip to this part of the world if you seek only the sounds of the ocean, the dogs running down the beach, and your spouse. It was the best vacation I’ve ever taken with Ginny. She claims the same, so I’m sure we’ll be going back. I hope the photos reflect the beauty and relaxation we found on this trip.
