New Camera in the Woods

Got a new camera and lens this week (D300s.) Its also been a pretty busy week with finals and preparing for a new job tomorrow but I have had some time to play around with it in the (very wet) woods behind the house.

The joys of living on the lake

Really, its more of a pond and people just call it a lake. But when the light becomes amazing, like it did at sunset tonight, it only takes a minute to run out and take some fun photos.

Hazelwood Central Marching Band

This weekend was the memorial for James T. Scott, an African American man from Columbia who was lynched near downtown in 1923. On Saturday, hundreds of people came out for a memorial service and dedication of a new monument in Scott's honor. The procession to the monument was led by the Hazelwood Central High School marching band from St. Louis. Before everything started, I got these photos of the band warming up. A video from the event that created with a couple other photographers will be up soon.
