Shot of the Day

Here's a shot from yesterday's Hurricanes Volleyball cover shoot, done "grunge style."

Smug Mugs

Meet Rey Fuentes, Hurricane Baseball's new first base coach. He comes from Barry University, where I captured his personality in action a few years ago.

Mr Taylor Goes to Washington

With yesterday's trade of Jason Taylor to the Washington Redskins, the Dolphins parted ways with one of the team's all time greatest defensive players. More importantly, South Florida loses one of its all time people.

Taylor was as relentless off the field as on, raising countless millions through his Jason Taylor Foundation. Earlier in his career, I shot Taylor, Zach Thomas and Trace Armstrong for a Miami Project brochure.



While Armstrong departed long ago, Thomas and Taylor anchored the Dolphins defense for over a decade.

With Taylor's departure, this guy is now the longest tenured Dolphin:

Shot of the Day

This past week I shot Graig Cooper and Javaris James for the next Canesport cover. Above is one of the possible choices...

4th of July

I was going to post a fireworks photo from yesterday's celebration here in Coral Springs but the Everglades decided to send a twilight thunderstorm in our direction, canceling the show.

Orange Bowl Memory Lane

I was researching photos for a magazine when I came across this photo from after the 48-0 fiasco against Virginia last season, the last game ever at the Orange Bowl. A lone cheerleader ran with the flag the entire length of the field in Little Havana one last time.

We are less than 60 days away from our first game at Dolphin Stadium, and the season can't start soon enough for me, in part to flush the bad memories of the 2007 season out of my head.
