Fire on the River

One Hundred fourty five years ago the Confederate Army was repelled from its advance on the Susquehanna River with the burning of the Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge. The burning of the bridge kept the Confederates from invading east into Harrisburg, Lancaster and Philadelphia and contributed to the battle of Gettysburg.
Each year the historic bridge burning is re-enacted in Wrightsville. Unfortunately, this year mother nature decided to put on a show of her own and kept me from photographing the entire span on fire but I managed one good image.

Gymnastics Video

I spent the day Thursday with the York YMCA Gymnastics Team as they prepared for the National Championships. It’s not often that I have the time do do a sports feature but this one worked out great.
Good Luck to the York Team!

Breakin the bat

I’ve been trying to catch a broken bat by one of the York Revolution players since starting to cover the team last year. It seems that I’m always focused somewhere else when the broken bat occures but Monday night I got lucky and was focused on Luis Traveras as he hit a lead-off single in the seventh inning and his bat shattered right above the grip. It’s not the best broken bat by far and I’ll probably shoot thousands of frames until I get another but it’s a start.
