Winter and Hockey

I had the pleasure recently of photographing Salem State College's 3rd annual Hockey Jamboree. There were 7 games with 14 high schools from the northshore playing scrimmage games. I have to be honest, hockey is one of my least favorite sports, I know that specially in New England there are a lot of Bruins fans, but when you pay money to be cold, and watch people on ice... it just doesn't make since to me. =o)

But, Hockey does have it's saving grace, it's one sport that you have to have a lot of talent to be good at it. Speaking from a person, that has never been on ice, other than on his butt during the occasional slip and fall, I have a lot of respect for the men and women that decide to pick up a stick and go out there and give it their all, on a pair of razor sharp skates, while moving at great speeds...

The one thing I can say from this event is that every single one of those boys playing put their heart and souls, even though it was an exhibition game.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Merry Christmas

Well, my wife Lisa finally sent our Christmas cards so I got the ok to place Frankie up here. This past month has been a busy one, with all the families ordering Christmas cards and last minute wedding gifts, it has been nuts... =o)

I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a very happy New Year!
