Fotorecord Turns 1 and "Faces" Project is Underway

It was one year ago today that we started our blog Fotorecord and we hope you all have enjoyed keeping up with our progress.
In other news, we're kicking off our "Faces of Davidson" project this week.
Betsy and I are having a great time meeting and photographing so many interesting people from the area. We did six portraits today and things have gotten off to a great start.
We will be doing portraits all week and we'll keep everyone updated on the progress and future plans for the project.
We are so pleased with the incredibly positive response from all involved.
I also wanted to wish a Happy Saint Patrick's Day to everyone - especially my favorite Irishman, my dad. Have a great day Chief!
I've been very busy with a variety of different assignments as we wait for wedding season to get into full swing.
Check below for some photos I took last week at the ACC Tournament. I did some freelance work for The Charlotte Observer, my former employer, and it was fun shooting basketball again. It was also nice to catch up with many of my old friends.
I also did an interesting portrait assignment for The London Times and I'll post some images from that shoot later this week.

Faces of Davidson is underway!

Basketball photos

Saturday was fun as I took in the Davidson College-College of Charleston basketball game with our son Sean.
Sean and I were a bit nonchalant as we rolled up very close to tipoff, and we ended up parking close to a mile from the arena. (Sometimes I really miss press parking). We hadn't anticipated the large crowd that turned out to see the Wildcats and super sophomore Stephen Curry.
We ended up in the nosebleed section which made my photography efforts a bit more challenging. (I also miss seats right on the floor but I'd much rather go to the game with Sean). I made do with a 70-200mm lens and got a few nice shots.
Davidson, which is undefeated in Southern Conference play, won easily and Curry scored 26 points. I had photographed Curry's father, Dell, when he played for the then Charlotte Hornets.
It's a rare treat to see such a talented player at a small college and we try to get to as many games as we can.
We're hoping Davidson makes another appearance in the NCAA Tournament in March.
