That time of year
One of the things I was most excited about when I took my job with the Morning News was the opportunity to cover NASCAR at Darlington. So far the experience has been everything I hope it would be, exciting, loud, and yes a bit overwhelming too. I am loving being here this weekend and will try to post more photos later today.

Sleeping
I was working on a story today and saw this beautiful baby girl sleeping in the corner, I thought she was a doll at first, then saw her breath and watched her for a long time.

The people I meet …
I had the opportunity to cover the Florence County DSN Board’s Preliminary Talent Competition at the Matthew B. Wallace Center this morning. It never stops amazing me how full of life people are no matter what their situation maybe.

Fun with baseball and Photoshop
I had a fun sequence from today’s baseball game and decided to play in Photoshop a little bit. I stitched three these photos together for a quick photo illustration.
It was a wonderful morning, while drinking my coffee on my porch I noticed a huge flock of birds in my neighbor’s back yard. As my mother and I both keep lists of all the different birds we see I needed to check it out. I put on my glasses, grabbed my 300 mm lens and wandered next door. I had suspected that the flock was Cedar Waxwings passing through their migration to their breeding grounds in Southern Canada. I was right. There we at least a few hundred of them devouring my neighbor’s berry tree. The flock didn’t seem to notice, or care I was there so I hung out for a while. In a short time the flock had cleaned the tree clean of berries. Here are a few of my favorite shots from this morning. I hope we have room in the paper for them.

Rare Opportunity (graphic content)
Today I was fortunate enough to be allowed to cover a laproscopic gall bladder surgery with Dr. Anthony Cutry at Carolinas Hospital System. This was an amazing opportunity, these days medical access is very limited to the media, often with good reason. I am grateful to the staff at Carolinas, Dr. Cutry and his surgical team, and most importantly the patient under going the surgery for allowing me to be a part of this procedure. I consider this opportunity a great gift.
This photo won’t be seen in the daily paper, yet it is my favorite from this morning’s surgery.
